Our story

Our backyard to the world.

bamba is the vision of three friends from Palestine, Lebanon and Sudan who met and connected here in Nairobi. We cook the food we grew up on, loosened up a little, and we serve it the way it was always meant to be served: too many plates, in the middle of the table.

Family friendly Pet friendly Garden seating
The kitchen

Everything here is meant to be passed around.

Mezze first, then something from the fire and something from the oven, followed by little tastes of sweetness. Order more than you think you need — that is the correct amount.

The bar

Sumac, zaatar, tamarind, jaba.

Our signatures borrow from the pantry: a gin sour sharpened with sumac, bourbon sweetened with zaatar honey, mezcal cut with raw jaba juice. Classics done properly too — and mocktails nobody apologises for.
