Torii — Restaurant in Nairobi

Attempts at Thai food in Nairobi remain underwhelming, and Torii is also in this category. The dim sum wasn't available with seafood but my guests ate the chicken and pork options, and seemed to like them. I found the dim sum coating too thick for my liking, so I didn't taste them. The mutton chops were tender, succulent and tasty enough for my guests to ask for a second portion. The rest of the menu is diverse and interesting, but the true test is whether Torii can maintain quality over time with difficulty in procuring ingredients in Kenya. The quality was good, fresh, and well presented, even if inauthentic for flavours they are trying to represent. My selected wine option wasn't available, however, the basic supermarket variety were available. We sat on the patio on a hot day. Without a breeze, it gets very claustrophobic. The building ought to activate the water feature outside the restaurant to create the evaporative cooling effect needed. The restaurant decor is elegant. The service...

We were at the Torii restaurant on Saturday night - a party of 5. We were very well welcomed by the Hostess.  The place is very clean, neat and tidy with excellent ambience. It was great meeting the manager: Mr. Martin whom we had known from before. The biting were excellent and the main food was top notch.

Thank you to Martin and the team for their excellent services. On continuous improvement, the restaurant was full inside and I think the waiters/ waitresses serving were 2/3.   We feel you need to increase the number of waiters/ waitresses. The vegetarian spring rolls also need an improvement on quality.

All in all, thank you for the excellent services.   Keep it...

Torii in Parklands is a hidden gem for anyone who loves Pan-Asian cuisine. The setting is beautiful, with a peaceful terrace and fountains — perfect for a relaxed lunch or dinner.

We tried a mix of dishes: crystal dim sum, chicken gyozas, sushi rolls (the prawn dynamite and salmon spicy crunch were excellent), yakitori tofu, chicken cashew curry, pad Thai, and mutton chops — everything was full of flavour and beautifully presented.

Drinks were just as impressive (don’t miss the Sichuan mango margarita), and the desserts — especially the date parcels with salted caramel ice cream.

Service was great, parking is easy. Definitely...
