Terrible

TERRIBLE is the word. Do not visit if you want peace of mind. Slow service, food delays, unapologetic staff. Ambience was good though.

High class restaurant

Number 1 on Trip Adviser for restaurants in Nairobi and we can see why. On a Monday night it was a little low on atmosphere but the food was very good. Tribe appears an impressive hotel. It also need not be that expensive. The 3...of us shared a mac and cheese as a starter which was more than enough. The lamb, pork and fish main courses were at a similar price level to other more run of the mill Nairobi restaurants. One slight gripe. The wine list reflects the high price of wine in Kenya. When a wine on the list proved unavailable a restaurant of this standard should offer an alternative at the same price.More

Quality, Quality, Quality!

Best breakfast in town for sure! The options are wonderful, not a single detail is missed out. And their menu for lunch/dinner is equally amazing as well. Anything Salmon does it for me. But my old time fav is Jiko's tomato soup and spaghetti pomodoro....Absolutely delicious!More
