There’s something truly special about the Nairobi dining experience right now, that needs to be applauded. A certain confidence, a global rhythm, a taste for the finer things. Right at the centre of it all? Rooftop dining that doesn’t just serve food, but curates a whole atmosphere of luxury.

🎵 What's the Story?

Upepo at Kwetu Nairobi, Curio Collection by Hilton, a space that has quietly become the destination for Nairobi’s discerning diner. With sweeping views of Karura Forest and an ambience that effortlessly shifts from golden hour chic to late-night energy, Upepo isn’t just a restaurant. It’s a lifestyle.

A MENU THAT TRAVELS THE CONTINENT — WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR TABLE:

The newly unveiled pan-Asian menu is exactly what Nairobi didn’t know it needed but now won’t stop talking about.

🗣️ The Details

We’re talking bold, nostalgic, and indulgent flavors from across Asia. Think the comforting, wok-tossed magic of Nasi Goreng and Singaporean aged beef Sirloin , the delicate precision of sushi deluxe platters, and the rich, aromatic depth of Chicken Karaage. Each dish executed with the kind of finesse that reminds you this is award-winning territory.

At the heart of this culinary evolution is Head Chef Phayan Rityim, whose journey from Thailand to Dubai and beyond has shaped a style that is both authentic and elevated.

His philosophy is simple: “Don’t reinvent for the sake of it! Simply refine, perfect, and deliver consistently exceptional plates.” The result? A menu that feels globally fluent yet deeply intentional.

Every bite carries technique, experience, and just the right amount of edge.

One of the standout elements of this new offering is its versatility. Whether you’re craving something light and fresh, rich and indulgent, or somewhere in between there’s always a dish that meets you exactly where you are.

While Upepo doesn’t need to lean into “signature dishes,” what you will find is an incredibly refined selection of pan-Asian classics done right, every single time.
