Beit e Selam

Nairobi, Kenya

Equal parts comfortable and cosmopolitan, a warm, positive energy exudes from the friendly staff at Beit e Selam, which means “house of peace” in Amharic. Located in the prosperous Westlands neighbourhood, a baroque metal gate serves as an entryway into this beloved community bar and restaurant, where guests are welcome to either gather in the oasis-like garden courtyard or pull up a chair in the roomy indoor space (complete with fireplace for chilly evenings). Inside, an eclectic mix of modern and vintage pan-African decor matches the vibrancy of some of the best food in Kenya. Featuring flavours that draw on various different culinary traditions from around the continent, both the food and the drinks – the menu offers contemporary cocktails and a smart wine and beer collection – represents the epitome of African hospitality.
