The restaurant is supposed to be fine dining. Was quiet empty on a week day evening, but might be reservation basis when busy. The waiters were friendly and quick to serve. I went for beef burger which was amazing and light despite the big size, i am planning to get it again. The steak was also great, but the coconut rice was a bit disappointing. Drinks were great too. Prices on the higher side Thoughtful decorated creating such a comfortable and relaxing ambiance. We went on a Friday and they had live music playing, which made the whole experience even better. Service was great—fast, friendly, and really on point. We felt well taken care of. On to the food - everything we tried was a hit. Top for me were the coffee pork ribs (such a cool flavor combo), the signature shrimp maki, and the sirloin steak—cooked perfectly, juicy and full of flavor. Definitely a spot we’ll be going back to. Highly recommend! The ambience is immaculate. The hostess welcoming us was superb. Foodwise, great flavours but execution wasn't great. The sushi kept breaking apart. Both the surf and turf roll and the swahili chicken roll were quite tasty. Be warned that they are on the spicy side. Our waiter was okay. My dad liked the salmon but the pan-fried veggies lacked enough seasoning. Would definitely try it again and see what else is on the menu.

We had such an amazing dining experience at Slate! The beef fillet was perfectly tender and flavorful, the salmon was cooked to perfection, and we ended it all with a heavenly red velvet gâteau that was rich and delicious. Truly a memorable meal – highly recommend!

I visited Slate for the first time on a solo trip, and I honestly couldn’t have picked a better place. The vibe is modern and relaxed, perfect for unwinding and enjoying some time to yourself. What made it truly special was my service Bavelyne was an absolute star. She made me feel so comfortable and welcome from the moment I sat down. As a solo diner, that meant everything. She was attentive without being overbearing, and her warmth made the experience feel personal. The food? Absolutely delicious. Every bite was bursting with flavour, and the presentation was just as beautiful as the setting. For anyone visiting Nairobi, Slate is a must-visit!! And if you’re served by Bavelyne, you’re in the best hands. Thank you for a lovely experience!
