• ABOUT US

  

  ạtė (pronounced eight or aah-tay) was founded in 2019:

   

  From the moment two delusional siblings saw the space where ạtė stands tall in all her glory, they knew this is where magic will happen.

   

  ạtė is our family’s love letter to you.

   

  Food that takes you on a journey, from the spice alleys of the middle east to the land of fermentation in the far east; from the curing methods of Southern America to an exciting take on the classic European flavours and techniques.

   

  So what kind of food do we serve? Beautiful food, no genre, just it’s own DNA. Where else in Nairobi will you find cod fish wrapped in lardo on vermouth cream with green grapes and toasted hazelnuts? Or tuna cured in a Thai & Indian blend, served with citrus jelly and cashew cream on a charcoal & black olive tostada?

   

  Our dishes are unconventional, playful, shaped by immense thought and the desire to push creative boundaries, by the assimilation of tastes and culinary stories from our travels, plus a measure of some good old nostalgia.

   

  The bar duo under the tutelage of the maverick bar owner of Re\Volver, possibly Kenya’s finest bar, create a premium restaurant bar experience where culture, inspiration and classics are fused to make a blend that is uniquely us. In true ạtė fashion, the cocktails play on classics, but also include bespoke drinks showcasing a hero ingredient. In another section, our bartenders’ eponymous originals.

   

  Our kitchen team? A crazy bunch of young Kenyan grown chefs who work tirelessly to bring to life their vision of new age cooking and dining. Add to that the warm and attentive service of our experienced servers and front-of-house.

   

  Our aspiration at ạtė is continual improvement, commitment to local small scale suppliers and dedication to learning. We have travelled the hills and fields to bring you the finest in terms of produce, partnering with some of the best producers in the country, whether it is small scale sustainable farmers or Prime Cuts, known to be the best meat suppliers around.

   

  Come dine in our more formal and romantic glass house overseeing the beautiful garden below, or al fresco on the patio under the black starry nights of Nairobi, or in the lush garden where sunbirds chirp, baby monkeys run up an old acacia tree and butterflies chase one another into a beautiful blue sky.

   

   

  We welcome you to be part of our little world,

   

  Love,

   

  Puja & Prableen

  ​​With three different spaces to choose from, ạtė provides a slate to create the event suited to your exact desires and needs. Choose the glass house overlooking the beautiful garden for your more celebratory or formal events or for an evening of cocktails, the patio for a bigger group of friends, family or workmates and the lounge by the fire place for a more cosy moody vibe. At ạtė we take out the mundane from event food that usually takes a back seat to functionality.Choose from an intimate fine dining experience for up to 20 guests, with each dish telling a story or showcasing the best of a season, paired with wines that come from the best wine regions in the world or bespoke cocktails that enhance these exceptional flavours. If you are looking to host a corporate event for up to 40 guests, we offer a sit down family style sharing menu or a dégustation (tasting) menu that can be paired with drinks, or you could choose an evening of cocktails and canapés while enjoying some live music from the wonderful local musicians of the ạtė family. The ạtė bar can also be booked for a party of up to 30 guests where they can experience a wine, whiskey or Gin tasting, while a smaller group of 10 can enjoy a private cocktail making evening. ạtė has just introduced its sundowner experience, providing a more relaxed and informal setting where your party can enjoy tapas style dining paired with sundowner cocktails or an ạtė high tea experience. Book out the patio for a group of 20 or choose to sit in the garden for 6 to 8 guests. Looking for something a little extra? Try out our exclusive dining experience for up to 8 guests in a private room where luxury meets theatre meets the unconventional. We promise to take you on a journey of flavours you would never think of, and drinks you will not find anywhere else. The crazy of the ạtė kitchen meets the genius of Re\Volver.  ạtė partners with some of the best local talent. Choose from Laka, our wonderful saxophonist; Jack, a great guitarist; or choose a jazz duo or band to make your event truly shine.  Please reach out to us using the icons below, and a member of our team will help you plan your event and provide the prices specific to what you choose.
