The 20 Best Restaurants in Nairobi, Kenya | Eater

"Located in the residential neighborhood of Kilimani, Mama Oliech is a gem. The restaurant is best known for its deep-fried fish from Lake Nakuru, served whole; order it with sides of ugali and kachumbari (tomato onion salad). It’s a particularly popular destination for hungry office employees, who make the trek for lunch on Fridays." - Wendy Watta

The food was good, they said the fish is fresh from kisumu but i doubt that, chapati and plantains where amazing the red fish sauce on the side tasted funny The waitresses are nice and slow The food was expensive comparing with the cuisine and the atmosphere and the service.

This was a birthday lunch date treat. At first, both of us hadn't realised that the Westlands branch was permanently closed down, so we tried our luck there, then proceeded to Marcus Garvey Rd. Since we came in later, not your usual lunch hour, the atmosphere was a bit relaxed. The waitresses were cordial and courteous as always. The food, which was the reason for the visit, was over the bar. Can't quite remember the dish name as per the menu, but you can never go wrong with this choice. The kids menu wasn't clear to us so we got our LO company some fries and we shared our fishes with her. We all enjoyed our stay as well as our meal. Erokamano Mama Oliech kod Ochieng

Food take forever before arrive on the table, chicken was extremely hard. Atmosphere is what you expect,very nice. Very good news, espresso coffee, very well done, thank you Paul.

Fish lovers den with very good customer service from the entrance to the departure We didn’t wait to have a table, there are big sitting areas Ugali my favorite comes in white and brown I would suggest reserving earlier before arrival Tilapia very big sizes good for sharing also I recommend this place for families I would rate them 11/10 ✅

The food is amazing, the waiters are professional. Nice ambience nice place to just chill and talk. Music is not played here hence ideal for conversations . Alcohol prices are on the high side

Food is fine but you can get the same for much cheaper elsewhere. They seem to be riding their former reputation, and taking advantage of it particularly with foreigners. Be careful about prices…

Samaki | Fish | ዓሳ | Qurxummii Great food at this famous place. The fish either dry or wet fry is delicious with ugali. They do have parking spaces but limited. As I mentioned the food is great, however I found it to be a bit expensive compared to other similar restaurants. Would definitely recommend it.
