I visited Bao Box for the first time in November 2024. The space is amazing. The service was very efficient and the food was quite savoury. We got a complimentary round of mini golf, so that was pretty awesome! Highly recommend for workmates and friends who'd like to unwind and have lots of fun.
This is such a lovely place to unwind with friends. The option of multiple games to select from was also amazing. Great customer service from the waiters. Always available to serve. I loved the idea of using tech in their billing system too. A place to come back definitely!
Got told about this place by someone and a group of 20 of us decided to go for lunch. This spot was unreal. How big the space is, how well designed and decorated, the food options, the service, all the games you can play. Everything was just exceptional. 12/10 stars!! Highly recommend!
I had been to the former location of Bao Box about 3 years ago and it was great being able to visit the new location during my visit to Nairobi. Bao Box has an ample location with various paid and unpaid activities that can be played. Unpaid are the smaller games like Jenga etc. There is a wide variety so no worries to miss out. The paid activities are for example midget golf, darts etc. It is a great opportunity to combine leisure with a nice environment. We opted to share some entrees of which the quality was really nice. I had a grape caipiroska which was really nice and well prepped. Main course was butter chicken and it was really good. Kudos to Bao Box for a great experience. Good food, good drinks and especially good atmosphere. Will definately be back in the future!
