Tasty food and great service in a quite and serene area surrounded by trees in a quiet exclusive side of Nairobi. "I'll be back"

This is a gem of a restaurant tucked in the middle of Nairobi. The atmosphere is great and there was a live jazz band when I was there. The food was also really good, but a tad on the expensive side. They also have a nice wine selection.

This is a great place. the Ambiance is great, however, the customer service is quite poor. One time i was there, i had to practically go and look for the waiter. Food was great though.

There's assorted items -- grilled (I prefer the snapper), asian-style, Indian-style, even some Italian. It's a restaurant that doesn't know what it is. There's a new chef in the past few months, but so far, it's hard to see... More

The MoonFlower restaurant is a part of Palacina Residence and Suites. Decked up & tasteful interiors. Food was nice with a practically mixed International Cuisine. The live music was entertaining and matched the aesthetics. Value for Money - Yes!!!

I won't belabour the points about the serene setting or the refreshingly nonstandard food; both are true and make for a generally positive experience. And while the host did squeeze us in despite our not having a reservation, the waiter was foolish enough to stand watch directly over our table once the bill was brought though we weren't ready (mistake...
