Food was German style and very good. But what makes this place special is the views of the Mbagathi river below and the hanging bridge you must cross to access this little gem. More

Went to the restaurant with high expectations. Service was extremely slow, food was either over cooked or under cooked. The manager could not take any decisions on the complaints. Promised they would remove the items that were badly cooked and when the bill came feigned ignorance and stated there was nothing wrong and we had to pay for all the... More

I stayed at Rolf's place for 2 days and nights as a treat for my 33 birthday and had one of the most wonderful and memorable experiences in my whole life! All the meals ( especially the lobster dinner and birthday cake prepared specially for me by Rolf ) was out of this world! Nyuuuuuuuuuuuumiiiiii is an understatement. The architecture... More

Read some reviews commenting on bad service, I have to say it was far from being the case for us. The swimming pool give a great view on the Nairobi skyscrapers. Romantic, peaceful, great taste in...

I've lived in Nairobi for five months now and can honoustly say that this was the best eating-experience yet! Not only because of the great food but because of the whole scenery. You have a great view and the house itself is like an African museum! As for the value, I took the pepper sauce steak for 1100 KES, about... More
