The Branch Restaurant is tucked inside Kenya Cinema Plaza, just up the left staircase from the main entrance. It’s a casual yet welcoming spot that serves hearty African food — not Swahili, but traditional African home-style dishes. I visited on a Tuesday evening around 4:30 p.m. Busy but seating was available. The restaurant offers both indoor and balcony seating. The balcony overlooks the busy street — it can get noisy from the road traffic, but conversation is still possible and the view gives it a nice city vibe. Food & Drinks: I ordered the Fried Beef Wet Fry (KSh 650) — big chunks of tender beef, not chewy at all, soft and flavorful, sitting in a delicious, rich sauce. It came with a side of rice, which was a generous scoop and complemented the dish well. The Chicken Wet Fry (KSh 700) was equally satisfying — large, juicy pieces of chicken coated in a thick, tasty sauce. For drinks, I had the Fresh Mango Juice (KSh 150) — homemade, thick, and bursting with flavor — and water (K

I had a wonderful experience at The Branch Restaurant in Nairobi. The food was authentically African, with dishes like fish and brown ugali that were both hearty and flavorful. What made it even better was the view of the city, giving me a chance to enjoy Nairobi’s vibrant atmosphere while dining. A great spot for tasty African cuisine and a lively city vibe.

The Branch Restaurant, a restaurant that serves an all African Cuisine, is located at the heart of Nairobi's CBD (Central Business District). The Entrance is inside Kenya Cinema. You are greeted by kind personnel right from the entrance. There's a huge tank that has hot water for washing ones hands. This comes in handy after eating their authentic African food. They have plenty of sitting space on the lower level, as well as upstairs. For a better experience, I recommend sitting upstairs. The staircases are a bit steep so watch your step. Once seated, the service team steps up to quickly provide you with two Menus - one for drinks and one for food. Orders take about five to twenty minutes at most. My meals always come in less than ten minutes. Shout out to my amazing server, Dan. He's been an amazing person for as long as I can remember. Brown Ugali and Liver are always my go to meal. I've tried their beef and it's very nice as well. If you're looking to really dive into their expa

The Branch is an iconic restaurant located at Kenya Cinema Building, on the first floor. You are greeted by kind personnel the minute you set foot inside. It's a spacious restaurant with two floors full of various tables : 2 pp, 4pp etc. I have frequented this gem for the past 5+ years & it never ceases to amaze me. The service is prompt after 11:00a.m. Before that, there's a limited number of Staff Members available hence the standard service. Took my Mom there and she absolutely loved her Brown Ugali, Beef & Kachumbari. I ordered Liver & Brown Ugali - Top Tier & Fresh as always. I tried their Long Island Cocktail & I was impressed. Special Thanks To Dan, who always serves me. This place is worth every dime & penny that you have. It being a central place to meet in Nairobi Town, it is very convenient & well priced. I simply cannot wait to be back again.

We went with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. They allowed us to come out own cake since they don't do pastries. The manager was friendly and organised for us to have tables joined together. Orders didn't take long. Chicken was abit hard since it was the kienyeji type. The rest of the food was okay. The waiter who was waiting on us was really good (Pascale)
