Jibs Hotel offered an exceptional dining experience. The BBQ honey wings, poussin wings, Maru Bhajia, Sweet Potato fries, and vanilla latte I enjoyed were outstanding. The attentive service and pleasant atmosphere make it a top recommendation.

I love Jib’s. A must visit restaurant when you are in Nanyuki.
The prices are great for the quality of food and service they offer. You can also grab drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic. They have quite a range, again their price point is good.
The butter chicken and naan was fantastic, a 12/10. Highly recommend.
My friend wanted chicken soup, but I believe the way it’s stated in the menu was a bit confusing as he got boiled chicken served aside, but the soup was not from the same chicken. It was prepared separately.
Also, please increase the soup portion, it’s quite little when you compare it to the rice portion.
Aside from this everything else was fantastic, the staff are very friendly and the service is impeccable.
The owner Jibran is also really good with guests.
The place is kid friendly and they also have games that you can play, the likes of Monopoly and Scrabble.
I’m a fan of Jibs & have eaten there frequently in the past. Tonight was disappointing. Samosas that were still cold, upon complaining brought back microwaved & returned once again. When fresh hot samosas finally bought, main meal (Butter Chicken) brought at the same time and returned, I want to eat my starter before my main.
Fresh butter chicken & naan brought out later and while hot disappointing. Butter chicken almost tasteless, a hint of dhaneer but no interest. Could have been chicken in a tomato soup. Naan dry & floury, 100% of the garlic fell off.
Service great throughout and the beer was cold. Otherwise food was poor and kitchen overwhelmed due to a group upstairs meaning those downstairs got second best.

Its quite a beautiful place with great lighting and decor. Slow music to go along with the ambience. I did like the food. Great taste. The chefs really outdid themselves. The drinks too are really good. Cocktails were well blended. Not many restaurants have them as jib's did. The only downside side was the service. It was quite wanting. Our waiter served us, and later didn't bother with us. We weren't given hand towels to sanitise, we were left unattended the whole time when we needed to ask for several things. They kept on going back and forth to the whites' tables. We even had to go to the counter and ask for our bill. Well the food was great but with poor service it is never good enough.

My experience at Jib's Cafe Bistro was fantastic. The cozy ambiance and attentive staff made it a welcoming place. The menu offered a delightful array of dishes, and I particularly enjoyed the flavorful options they had. The attention to detail in both presentation and taste showcased the commitment to quality. Whether it was a casual coffee catch-up or a hearty meal, Jib's delivered a satisfying dining experience. The reasonable prices added to the overall appeal, making it a go-to spot for me. I would highly recommend Jib's Cafe Bistro for anyone looking for a great meal in a cozy setting.

The food is very hit and miss, when it's good it's mind blowing, but, that's what makes the lows really annoying. The breakfast service is the worst. No consistency, staff seem irritated by your questions and if you find a busy breakfast session just know it will be mediocre. Dinner time however is a different story, the service is good, very friendly staff, and the food is also good. Worth a try.

There's no disappointment greater than that of an over salted dish.Unfortunately the chicken tikka was too salty for my palette.. and that coming from someone who likes salty snacks. Cool place and friendly staff tho. I might give it a second chance but I'm definitely not going to order this curry again.

Butter Chicken
Pleasant cafe at the heart of Nanyuki town.
The terrace seating arrangement is well done accomodating both solo and group foodies. I went there for a laptop work session and was happy to see the sockets at the edge of the seat that's easily accessible. They also have WIFI coverage that you can use for email and work documents without any trouble. The only downside of seating at the terrace is that it attracts a lot of smokers so for non-smokers this might be a bit of a bother.
The food was lovely too. Tried the curry noodle and loved it. The service was also good but may take time especially during peak hours.
Loved the selection of music too and it wasn't too loud.
Another plus are the clean and private washrooms.
