Cafe Maghreb — Restaurant in Nairobi

Experience the delights of Cafe Maghreb at the Nairobi Serena, a place where culinary traditions from around the world come together. This all-day dining restaurant offers a buffet breakfast and lunch with flavours from across the globe, as well as a delightful dinner menu.

Step into Cafe Maghreb and be greeted by the irresistible scents of the Patisserie. Here, you can savour a delightful array of French pastries, American muffins, and more. Pair them with a variety of teas, coffee specialities, or indulge in some authentic Italian gelati, shakes, and sundaes.
