What people say

We booked the 7-course Menu as part of our honeymoon trip celebration and it has been a wonderful experience. They have a great team and were really into details. Plates are very elaborated, could easily fit in a Michelin Star restaurant.
The name Embark is perfectly befitting for the restaurant as it is truly a culinary journey. If you are into fine dining and multi course meals this is the place to be! The space is cozy and the team is super friendly and well versed with their stuff. Truly enjoyed!

MARIA DEL ROSARIO Salazar★★★★★

Without a doubt, this is one of the best meals I have had in my life! The food was just exquisite, the flavors that toured us through Kenya with all the background of the different regions was fascinating. It was so delicious we ended up asking for seconds of thw tasting menu. Service and place were equally top. Amazing experience!

Rhoda Schnitzer★★★★★

We had an amazing dining experience here. Each course was an unusual creation which was delicious. The ambience is lovely and since we were the only group that evening, it felt like a private dinner in a friend’s garden. The service isn’t just impeccable, there is a genuine warmth and personal touch to it. Thank you to the team for an unforgettable evening. The values on the walls are truly lived by the team 🌟

Claire Baker★★★★★

This is hands down our favourite place in Nairobi but we save it for very special occasions because it’s such an amazing and unique experience. This is proper fine dining. Each course explained to you in detail and then you try and pick out the many ingredients from every single bite. Just amazing. The menu is designed by Dennis who manages to identify some unique flavours and mix them up - shiro and aubergine? Halloumi and ugali? Yes!! The service is superb and everyone truly cares about what they’re doing and I also love that it’s all ladies in the kitchen ;-) be sure to book ahead to book your table. You can choose the pairing menu with wines and tea or sample the cocktails, wines, teas etc to your own liking (our preference) they have a stellar bar tender.

Reginice★★★★★

This was, beyond, an amazing experience! Every dish was wonderful, flavorful, and unique. I’m still amazed at how the chefs turned veggies into an amazing, sweet dessert dish! I always appreciate when restaurants accommodate dietary requirements, such as mine. I had a fully vegan/ plant-based meal! The service was incredible! Pius and Kevin were amazing hosts! I love how they gave a descriptive, verbal presentation of each course, and we also learned a bit of history throughout. This was truly a fine dining experience, and a wonderful place to celebrate a birthday! I enjoyed and was wowed by the birthday surprise after the last course. I would visit Nairobi again, just to experience Embark again! Bravo! I need an encore!

Embark offers an intimate, thoughtful dining experience focused on creative, locally inspired cuisine served in a cozy garden setting. With seating limited to just a handful of guests per seating, the restaurant emphasizes care and attention the atmosphere is relaxed and personal, perfect for a quiet dinner or a special occasion. The menu changes regularly and features inventive multi-course meals that draw on African ingredients and global culinary techniques dishes are artfully plated, often offering unique flavour combinations and enough variety to cater to vegetarians or those with dietary preferences. Service is warm and attentive; staff take time to explain each course and often go out of their way to make the experience memorable. #EatOutApproved!

Raman Damodar Shahdadpuri★★★★★

Embark Restaurant lives up to the hype! Reservations are highly recommended. It’s pricey, but absolutely worth it—each dish is like a work of art. They carefully crafted every dish to suit our lacto-vegetarian diet. We hsd visited for our wedding anniversary, and they even surprised us with a thoughtful gift before we left. A truly memorable experience!
