Customer Reviews
Went for an event Afreqa.( check them out on Instagram) If you are an EDM music fan, i highly recommend. Definitely look out for the best djs(attached photos). Alex stands as the best I've experienced so far. The food there was kind of on the high end, also i was full so didn't get to try it. Did a cocktail and a shot. Can't remember which but just check the ingredients, no disappointments there.
I went to check out Nairobi Street Kitchen on a Wednesday night, and the timing worked out perfectly. It wasn’t too packed, which made it easy to move around and explore most of the stalls with no queues for food. The midweek crowd was relaxed, giving me the chance to properly take in the space, browse menus, and enjoy the experience without feeling rushed. Nairobi Street Kitchen is located on Mpaka Road in Westlands, right in the heart of one of Nairobi’s most popular social and dining areas. It’s easy to get there by taxi or ride-hailing services, and if you’re using public transport, matatus heading to Westlands will drop you nearby, followed by a short walk. Parking is available on-site and is generally manageable on weekdays, though it becomes more challenging on busy nights. From what I know and have researched, Nairobi Street Kitchen launched around 2021 as a modern street-food market rather than a single restaurant. The venue was created by repurposing an industrial space into a social hub that brings together food stalls, bars, music, and creative elements under one roof. While midweek feels laid-back, I know it gets much busier on weekends, with higher energy levels and longer wait times. The food offering is centered on variety, with each stall serving a different global street-food style. With no queues on a Wednesday, ordering was smooth and service was quick, making it easy to try more than one spot. My favourite stall was Siam Thai, which stood out for its bold flavours and well-executed dishes — easily the highlight of the night and the one I’d return to without hesitation. That evening also featured live music by the Kevin Munyi Trio, who were playing from after 7pm. The performance was free to check out and added a great live-music layer to the overall experience, giving the space a lively but still relaxed atmosphere. The ambience ties everything together. The open layout, industrial touches, colourful murals, and creative lighting give the venue a trendy yet casual feel. Beyond food and drinks, there’s even a barber on site, reinforcing the idea that Nairobi Street Kitchen is more of a lifestyle destination than just a place to eat. Overall, Nairobi Street Kitchen is ideal if you’re looking for variety, good food, and a social atmosphere in one place. A midweek visit is perfect for exploring at your own pace, while weekends cater to those looking for a louder, more energetic night out. It’s a solid Westlands spot that delivers both on experience and choice.
This beautiful place offers a vibrant, casual dining experience inspired by popular street food flavours with a creative, modern twist. The setting is relaxed and welcoming, with bold décor and a lively atmosphere that makes it a great choice for casual lunches, weekend hangouts, or a fun dinner with friends or family. The menu focuses on street food favourites elevated with quality ingredients and thoughtful presentation think loaded fries, grilled wraps, spicy wings, fusion bowls, and other hearty bites packed with flavour. Portions are generous, flavours are bold without being overwhelming, and the drinks selection complements the food well, with refreshing beverages and cocktails on offer. #EatOutApproved!
