The bar and dining room at BALUX

The House

An elite escape, set in Nairobi.

BALUX is a dining room built for the evenings that matter — the anniversary, the deal closed, the friends you only get in one city at a time. Mediterranean cooking, a considered cellar and a room that knows when to be quiet.

Burrata and grilled octopus to begin, pasta rolled in our own kitchen, charcoal-grilled cuts, prawns and lobster from the coast. From the first plate to the last pour, the intention is the same: make it worth remembering.

The Kitchen

Mediterranean cooking over charcoal and in a wood-fired oven.

The Bar

Signature cocktails, Mediterranean labels and a long whisky shelf.

The Welcome

Attentive, discreet, never hurried. Your evening sets the pace.
