The 20 Best Restaurants in Nairobi, Kenya | Eater

"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

Best feta cheese samosas! Burger was okay, not the best because the bread became too soggy too fast. But overall great vibes, decor, and service! Will definitely visit again on my next trip! Perfect meal before heading to the airport!

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.

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!
