Hotel Nomad — Hotel in Kitengela ward

Hotel Nomad is the classical depiction of what Nairobi, and in essence Kenyan hotels have been known to be; funky nightclub/lounge, favorable locations, creative interiors, good meals, great ambience and lastly,untrained staff and personnel. I still can't comprehend why a hotel can invest so heavily on infrastructure, beautiful cutlery, state of the art systems and then go a stride backwards by hiring unprofessional waiters and waitresses. It just beats the logic of sense. Getting sneered at by a waitress ranks higher than stale food in the bad hotel rankings...everything else about Nomad is cool, parking though can be a pain in the nether regions if you...

The place is a bit crammed however a typical 'local hangout. There is ready meat to choose from and I must say the food is delicious and fair portions. In addition, they were serving alcohol during COVID as they have rooms.

We ordered dry fry goat meat and it was delicious. Took around 45minutes but was fresh and portions good. The servers wear a mask all the time, are readily available and they have a small louge area

The place is great but does not look much from outside can be a bit hard to access due to traffic but right by the road and not soo much...

When I used to live in Kitengela 2016/2017 I frequently came to Nomad's for the food. Although it has been quite some years since then I still remember their nyama choma/ chicken choma and the chips masala. I even once asked for a salad and they waiter brought me an absolutely fantastic fresh dish (even though I was never able to tell what it was!). They stuff has always been very friendly as well. Toilets were a different story but can't tell if it is the same situation nowadays.

I recommend you to come have lunch or dinner here whenever you might...
