Greater service at the branch at Tankard Dagoretti corner.

Great food at both places but the service is definately better @ the Tankard.

The restaurant there is a lack of clarity in terms of price and increases with the location of eating from one location to another not advised

Well prepared tilapia plus, plus delicacy genetic

Where is Palm house from your restaurant

Off Karen road near Karen inn and suites

How much is fish there?

The price changes with size 500 being the smallest size going upwards

How much is a plate of fish??

Varies depending on size. From 500

I was very disappointed when I sent a rider to collect fresh fish which I ordered from marc and he gave him rotten fish!!!!

@chaka and it was very disappointing He's called Mark I spoke to him in the morning n sent a rider

There is a group of seven people who came at Mama oliech to get their supper and after eating and feeling satisfied they asked for the bill and after they were given they started complaining about the price and accusing the waiters and the boss

The problem is that their are some food like fry chips previously they were 1000 but now are 1100 hundred but they don't want to understand

Sometimes I normally wonder about other customers who accuse the waiters falsely and yet they have been given good service,just to ask,how a we as waiters supposed to react for such the manner?

Mr muthuri you are correct

hello dear ones nice to be in your plat form ,,am Solomon lengeny from Kenya Cleanig and Garbage limited we do both cleaning and Garbage collection we are located at westalands ,, i will like to inquire more from you for our services in any case.

Nice one Solomon...

Mama Oliech is most known for their tilapia, which is excellent, both the dry fry and wet fry (fried then drenched in sauce). Great place to eat fish and hang out.

Had the most delicious coconut fish, brown ugali and traditional vegaletables at this place. The service was absolutely great. The food was excellent. Customer care was great. Ambience is perfect! The restaurant is extremely spacious. The rest rooms are clean. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible.

This is the place to go if you want to have an authentic Kenyan food, the Tilapia fish. Choose how you want the fish to be prepared, either dry (deep fried) or wet (with red sauce). It comes with greens and tomato onion salad. And you choose to eat with ugali or rice or chapati. Simple dish but really tasty!

The food here was delicious, simple menu. I ordered fish with Ugali. It comes with Greens and katchumbari. I will recommend getting a side of chopped green chili peppers for those who like peppers. The food was quickly prepared and brought to the table within 10min. Friendly staff, clean location. A must visit for anyone with a love for fish. One thing to note, parking is limited but the staff there can assist with finding a suitable location.

Don't know if I just happened to catch them on a bad day or not. I was there last evening briefly, but left shortly thereafter. I was creeped out by the fact that I was the only client there & that my drink was flat. The prices generally are waay too high e.g. chips is 300/-, most places a whole fish ranges between 650 and 900 on the menu. The cheapest fish dish is 1,250/- and accompaniments are charged separately. Won't be back.

Mama Oliech stands for it’s name in delivering quality delicious food. First time going to this restaurant and I was not disappointed. The fish was well prepared and it kind of took me back to Kisumu where they make such awesome fish. Please try this restaurant out it’s worth the hype. Even Mark Zuckerberg ate there (:

I hope they get their groove back on but the last experience i had there was just horrible. Exorbitant prices in exchange for some stale fish and the service was just very slow. Previously had very nicely made fish, greens and ugali and wanted to share my discovery with a friend lets just say if it were a first date the score would have been zero on a scale of 0-10 with zero been very very disappointed. I still have hope they will get back to the once lively and warm place that was serving out of the world fish.
