I went to this place on a week day (Tuesday evening). Great place it is, nice ambiance for lovely dinner while chatting. Great and quick service. I wanted to eat prawns and my palate was readyThey were good - except they don't spice them while cooking. no salt, no pepper, no spice at all. The spices are provided at the table which made them not taste very well as adding spices on cooked food is not the same as having the food cooked in spice. But generally good place.
Their sushi is delicious! Not to talk of the excellent service! A good n cheerful environment makes it surely one of the best n favourite food joints! Keep up
Very pricey. Average service. But I love their garlic mussels. And their jazz night is always entertaining.
Sea food lovers den. Had King size prawns platter with vegetables. I wasn’t disappointed at all. Great service with great staff. Excellent for evening get togethers.
If you are seafood lover then this place us your paradise. I personally liked the jumbo prawn platter. The serving style is unique though the service needs improvement. In terms of cost, it is not a pocket friendly place. I liked their Cape Town branch more than the Nairobi one.
Their shrimp is worth a try. They have excellent service. The atmosphere here is calm and elegant. Definitely a good place for date nights. The restaurant is unique and different from most restaurants in the city. It is a heaven for the sea-food lovers.
Nice ambiance, good food, polite staff, totally worth it
Perfect restaurant to enjoy your seafood with a group of friends. I've been a couple of times and so far I've had an excellent experience.
Ocean Basket is easily the best place for sea food in Nairobi. The place feels special as soon as you walk in, and the waiters are very helpful and patient even when dealing with indecisive patrons like me who don't know anything about sea food! The wine selection and cocktails are perfect. The selection of fish is broad and the seasoning varied enough that everyone finds something delicious to eat, from broiled lobster tails, Sea Bass, sushi, oysters, tuna, and lots of other stuff. If you get in in the evenings, there is a life band or enchanting accoustics to go with your drinks. All in all, Ocean Basket is perfect.
Had salmon and tuna sushi. Served fresh and tasty complete with soy sauce and wasabi. The complete Japanese experience. The outdoor sitting area was warm as there are fires lit around. It's also a beautiful place to watch a sunset at Westlands
They do well with their seafoods but i wouldnt call it the best. Great joint and even greater attentive staff. Bring something warm for the evenings if you choose to sit outdoors although they have heating thingys, unless you're close to one, it gets rather breezy.
My favorite seafood restaurant in Nairobi! The platter for one is amazing! It has a little bit of everything. Their cocktails are great too!
Fantastic sea food restaurant. A starter of delicious roasted prawns. The main dish was a huge platter of fish, lobsters and prawns washed down with some wine - Sweet Malbec Birds and bees. Of course the dessert was to die for, ice cream with a cherry and fluffy muffins. The service is fantastic and they had an after 4 pm offer of Oysters with Champagne.
Really good quality sushi at a reasonable price
I visited ocean basket looking to explore and have my first taste of sea food. First, I should say It's a beautiful space, especially at night the environment is ambient. We got great service from a young male waiter who understood we were first timers . However, I after the experience, I'm still not a huge fan of sea food.
Excellent seafood experience! Menu has too many options in the same things,could simplify.
And I thought Ocean Basket in Cresta shopping center in South Africa was good. This is much better with great food and very spacious balcony sitting not to mention Intimate. Definitely going back before I go back to South Africa
Best seafood in Nairobi, clean washrooms and ample parking. The gas warmers makes an evening superb
Really like it and we have struggled to find a decent fish restaurant that we liked. It isn't amazing because it is a chain and the cajun grilled food didn't have any extra kick to it. But for 8000 for 3 of us sharing a platter with 3 extra sides and 2 rounds of drinks, we liked it overall
