Chekafe Japanese Restaurant

"Great Atmosphere. Love the space, so airy wish they had live bands coz the space is so suitable for that. Love the plants all over. My drink, Andiamo spritz (orange) was a total 100/10. Sooooo good if you are a sweet tooth like I. Also I love that they brought a small “tester” for me to try before I got my drink. The fried octopus was sooo good. Had craved Karaage which sadly they didn’t have but this kinda did the job too. Really enjoyed. The free popcorns were an acquired taste, the more you eat them the more they grow on you lol. The thick Cheka pork ramen was quite nice but next time I think I would love to try Cheka Chicken instead as pork was quite “fatty” Chicken dumplings were extremely underwhelming. The teriyaki chicken also quite underwhelming. Would not recommend. I guess the spices used are just not for my friends and I taste buds. Finally, was a long wait before any waiter could attend to me, our order was also messed up by it being served to another table and we had to wait more for ours. But no stress as we weren’t in a hurry. And waitress profusely apologized so all cool."

"First time at their new location on Riara Road in Victoria Square. Absolutely beautiful space! 😍 Spacious and bright with nice decor, different styles of tables. Very comfortable. Excellent service. The food was good. But the broth a bit too salty to my liking. The dawa is fantastic, perfect ginger!"

"We had such a lovely lunch. The atmosphere is beautiful, especially a small outdoor terrace surrounded by greenery. The service was friendly and attentive, and every dish we ordered was fresh and delicious. We tried the oysters with sake, sushi, dumplings, the tuna salad and the fried chicken bento box, and everything was beautifully presented. The fried chicken bento box was definitely my favorite. A great spot for a relaxed lunch or dinner in Nairobi. I’ll definitely be back!"
