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.
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.
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.
THE CHEF BEHIND THE MAGIC:
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.
A MENU THAT MATCHES YOUR MOOD:
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.
As General Manager Alexandre Glauser puts it, “Being just a restaurant is not enough anymore.” And honestly, he’s right.

NAIROBI’S PALATE HAS ENTERED ITS GLOBAL ERA:
If you’ve been paying attention, you’ve probably noticed something exciting. Nairobi diners have evolved. We’re curious, experimental, and increasingly sophisticated in our tastes.
With chefs from across the world bringing their influence into the city, Nairobi has become a true culinary playground. And Upepo is right at the forefront of this shift embracing what can only be described as the rise of ‘fine-casual luxury.’
It’s polished, but never pretentious. Elevated, but still fun.
If Upepo has anything to say about it, the future of dining in Nairobi is experiential, immersive, and constantly evolving.
Expect innovation that doesn’t just follow trends but sets them. Expect a space that keeps giving you reasons to come back. Most importantly, expect a standard that refuses to drop.
