A Truly African delight in continental authentic dishes. Services are good and the smiles from staff are genuine
Great place to try true Kenyan fare and great prices. Choices are served up quickly and everything arrives hot. Try tilapia, goat, wet beef, ugali and kale is an all-around delicious experience. Wash it down with a Tuskers and you have a perfect evening.
Music is a little loud in the dining area if you want to talk, but adds to the total experience if you want a night out.

Your tour of Nairobi City Centre would be incomplete without a stopover at K’Osewe on Kimathi Street…I mean even Zuckerberg ate Fish there!!! How cool is that!! Whether you’re in town for shopping or any other business, Kosewe should not be missed by anyone. Nairobi just like any other city in the world has its good share of exotic 5-star hotels. Mostly that’s not where you want to be if you want to get the true Kenyan experience. K’Osewe offers culinary diversity, clearly reflected in the many Kenyan culinary traditions in terms of choice of ingredients, style of preparation, and cooking technique. They have something for every plate! The need for a quick lunch after a long morning of shopping made us rush to Kosewe. Lots of other restaurants around the same area also. Up a flight of stairs with our shopping, we went to the famous ranalos. To order one goes to the cashier and literally picks one of the receipts that are already punched and ready to be paid for. Prices are fair for such a place. The food was brought within a few minutes quickly and efficiently. The place fills up very quickly at lunchtime and we were lucky that we came early. Clean and comfortable. Its rooftop semi-inside/outside location is perfect for those warm Kenyan evenings. Authentic African menu at its best! Unlimited choice from Tilapia , omena chicken ,Aluru, Aliya ,boiled beef to wet fry. Osuga. Lisusa, akeyo to dek amongst other traditional veges. Brown/ white ugali .Al this drowned with either fresh juice or a favorite soft drink. My three favorite dishes are: coconut fish, athola(smoked beef), fried chicken & all the traditional veggies ( managu, kunde, sagaa etc). I especially love their swanky. If you’re into music from East and Central Africa (Rhumba, Benga, Soukous, Ndombolo) and you enjoy dancing to the beat and melodic sounds of a live band, Friday and Saturday nights at Ranalo’s is for you.

3.4/ 5

This is one of my regular must-visit restaurants in town and the food does not disappoint. It is traditional Kenyan food and always delicious; authentic Kenyan “hands-on” food. I would however note that the price of the food did appear to increased quite significantly since my last visit but still quite good value. We ate the Samaki with ugali and greens, yum! Everyone was eating with their hands, I asked for a knife and fork but in the end, set them aside and dug in with my fingers. If you’re a music lover, then this place offers you very good music from live bands or a DJ. The waiters were nice and friendly although it took a bit of time to get my food the effort put into making me comfortable overwhelmed me. Simply one of the best places to dine.
