The Tavern — Restaurant in Nairobi

The King Post along Raphta Road in Westlands is unique from the grand Swahili-themed entrance to the handcrafted Woodwork. You cannot resist the feeling of being somewhere in an ancient time of history when the Indian Maharajas, the Swahili Wangwanas and the Omani Sultans reigned.

Within this elaborate set-up sits The Tavern Grill, a tastefully finished restaurant serving delicious dishes from East Africa and beyond the Indian Ocean.

You can enjoy your Calamari, Red Snapper or grilled Tandoori chicken in a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. The rooftop is spectacular but with Nairobi being as cold as it is, a more enclosed space...

Unfortunately a very poor experience during our stay in Nairobi: we visited the Tavern for dinner and next to our party there have been only two other guests. Nevertheless it took the restaurant 2 hours to serve our food (we only ordered 2 different dishes) The staff did not care at all and also after asking twice about the food, there was no issue made to get us served. This was really disappointing! A shame, because the food is actually pretty tasty but the experience of not getting served and not being offered any compensation...
