The 20 Essential Nairobi Restaurants

"Talisman is widely considered to be one of the best restaurants in Kenya — for good reason. The elegant gastro-lounge serves a fusion of European, pan-Asian, and African cuisines; quality and service are consistently great. Try the warm feta and coriander samosas served with chile-ginger jam, or the grilled filet with bhajia potatoes (a potato patty mixed with vegetables and deep fried) and wasabi-mustard sauce." - Wendy Watta, Soni Adriance

Loved the creative environment and top notch fusion lunch. I recommend the lamb kabobs or the beef bourguignon. Great family area in the back for the kids to have fun and play. I highly recommend!

You can’t beat the relaxing, convivial atmosphere on the terrace, surrounded by modern local art. The food was quite tasty, but not unique. Service could be better.

This place is very nice, indeed tucked away behind a gate. The waiter, James, was polite and helpful on what to order. I really enjoyed the samosas and the pork belly starters. We were cold, so they were nice enough to start a fire in the fireplace. If you're ever in Kenya, give this place a try.

Excellent little indoor/outdoor spot outside downtown Nairobi on the way back from the Giraffe Center. Good food and service for an afternoon meal.
