Region Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Nairobi

I didn't expect to find a Balkan restaurant in Nairobi so this was a pleasant surprise. Nice, varied menu with dishes from the area. I ordered a main dish (pork medallions with mushrooms and mashed potatoes) and I received a free starter of bread with ajvar (a dip made with aubergine and peppers). The dip was very tasty and great on the bread. My first time to try it.

The main course was also good and as I expected it to be. There were no other customers while I was there, so I hope they are receiving custom at other times as the food and decor and staff are fine. My only criticism is that the restaurant can be a bit hard to find and I wasn't even sure if it was open at first. This may stop some customers from coming inside. Anyway, overall it was very good and I'll come back again some time to try more...

Food mediocre at best. Also a very inflexible chef. As someone gluten intolerant, I asked for the dish (which came with bread and fries) to kindly come with cheese fries for just a bit extra since I wasn’t having the bread, and fries were already included. I said I would pay extra but not the whole 900 shillings since I was already getting fries. Chef said no, which is not a very good way of running a business. The goodwill that would come from some flexibility is lost. It shows a stinginess on their part and I won’t be recommending this place at all. Literally instead of charging me 900 shilling extra for cheese fries. Just give me the fries with some damn cheese on it for an extra 200-300 shillings! A few sprinkles of cheese will not bankrupt this...

Our experience was terrible. I don’t know how they got the high rating with this service. First of all, waitresses were kind and helpful, but the food was disgusting. Because we are group, we announced our visit beforehand and we got the response that we can come. After we ordered the meals, we waited one and a half hour just to get cold and uncooked food! As the main dishes are mainly meat, some of the dishes were cold, like they’re cooked them long time before, while some of the dishes had uncooked meat! It had blood in it. In the picture below, you can see uncooked chicken meat, and you know how dangerous uncooked...
