"If you’re craving authentic Indian food in Nairobi, Barbeque Nation is an absolute must-visit. The food is genuinely authentic, packed with rich flavors, and every dish we tried was delicious. What made the experience even more memorable was the warm hospitality. Both the owner and the chef are incredibly welcoming, friendly, and passionate about ensuring every guest has a great dining experience. Their personal attention truly sets this place apart. this restaurant is highly recommended and definitely worth visiting. The chef’s specialty Butter Chicken is a must-try—perfectly cooked with a rich, creamy gravy full of authentic Indian flavors. The Chicken Tikka Masala was equally outstanding. The mutton dishes were tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. We also loved the Chicken Biryani, which was aromatic, perfectly spiced, and incredibly tasty. From the quality of the food to the exceptional hospitality, everything exceeded our expectations. One of the best places in Nairobi for authentic Indian cuisine. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be back!"
"I have been coming here for years, whenever I am in Nairobi. The food is fantastic; breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The ingredients are always fresh and chosen with care. The a la carte lunch is outstanding and will definitely fill even the hungriest patron. A very convenient location in Westlands and a welcoming low-key, yet upscale, vibe. Highly recommended!"
"We visited this restaurant during our stopover in Nairobi, hoping to find some really good Indian food, and this place had high ratings. It absolutely lived up to the reviews! This place truly deserves a 5-star rating - not just for the delicious food, but also for the exceptional service and hospitality. Everyone in our group, including the children, thoroughly enjoyed the meal, with both the vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes being a big hit. Our kids were so impressed that they even went personally to compliment the chef! The chef and owner went above and beyond, taking personal attention to their guests and making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. That personal touch made the experience even more memorable. If you’re in Nairobi and looking for delicious Indian food with wonderful hospitality, this is definitely a must-visit!"
