K1 Klub House — Restaurant in Nairobi

Rumor has it that K1 offers a good Sunday brunch. Popped in this morning; I was in.the mood for pancakes after my morning run. Had the three course brunch. Pancakes, followed by ribs and potatoes, and what was supposed to be a brownie for dessert. And 1/2 liter of Sangria. 2000 shillings. $20.

1st course...3 stack of pancakes, served with fruit, chocolate sauce and maple syrup. Delicious but the 'cakes were a little cold. I ate anyway. The extremely cute waitress told me, next time ask and she'll get them warmed for me.

2nd course...ribs and potatoes. No complaints. A much larger serving than expected. 4 ribs. 3 were pretty meaty. One, not so much.

3rd course...It was billed as a brownie but I looked more like a very large cookie or very hard piece of marble cake. The strawberry ice cream on top saved this. Churros or creme brulee are the other options. I'll go fo the churros next time.

The place wasn't busy and the service was impeccable. Or maybe I developed a slight crush on the waitress.

I wish I had time to hang out to see whether the Sunday flea market picked up. That area was kinda quiet but some very nice offerings if you like African apparel. I do, but I wasn't up for bargaining today.

From what I've been told K1 as a club/entertainment venue is well past its prime. It's a huge spot with lots of bars within the complex. The Sunday brunch and the reggae night attract the most. Seems to be a decent place to watch sports...lots of tvs.

The brunch...the meal 6.5 out of 10 The service a perfect 10. I'll go back to try the rest...

Booked this venue for a post wedding party and the World Cup final. We ordered a meal at 5:30 before kick off. People that ordered after us received their food. Around 7:30 pm we ordered again because we did not receive our first order. We spoke to management twice who assured us that our order would be with us shortly. It is now 11pm and we still have not received a single order. The customer service here is terrible. Instead of the the staff to offer alternatives for their shortcomings, they think it’s best to argue with their customers. This is my first and last time in this venue because I cannot believe the subpar level of customer service I have received here today. The entire company ought to be ashamed of themselves. If I could give 0 stars I honestly would. I am writing this review so that others will hopefully take heed and avoid this...

Disclaimer; This review is specific to their Sunday brunch. Do NOT make an order for their Mohito - spiced or otherwise. We made a mistake of doing so. Lets just say it tasted of the alchohol used and water. The mint leaves and lemon slice used seemed to be from a day or two before (they were dried up). No syrup! Or bitter sweet balance you'd expect. We did let the waitress know - the 'mixologist' and supervisor. Conclusion - it was not addressed and we ended up paying for two cocktails (4 glasses in total) we couldn't drink (waitress informed us she would be personally charged if we didn't). The food was more or less the usual menu. On a postive note...there are vendors on the ground selling africa wear and accesories among other things. Generally though I was UNDERWHELMED and dissapointed especially considering...
