Galaxy Restaurant Eka Nairobi: Mombasa Road Dining and Menu Prices
Galaxy Restaurant at Eka Hotel gives a Mombasa Road dining search something concrete to compare: a ground-floor restaurant, a pool-facing terrace, a show kitchen and a detailed à-la-carte menu. It is a different proposition from choosing a city venue mainly for a rooftop view or a late-night programme. The official dining photograph accompanying this guide shows Galaxy’s actual room, with patterned chairs, dressed tables and pendant lights.
The hotel’s own dining page and Galaxy à-la-carte PDF were checked on 26 October 2026. The PDF identifies Eka Hotel Nairobi and Mombasa Road, but does not print a visible menu revision date. Prices below are its published document references. The document says they include government tax and service charge and are payable in Kenya shillings.
The restaurant, terrace and neighbouring outlets
Eka describes Galaxy as a 150-cover restaurant on the ground floor, with a live show kitchen and an outdoor terrace overlooking the pool. It offers buffet breakfast alongside all-day à-la-carte and snack dining. Those formats should be separated when comparing costs: the individually priced breakfast dishes in the PDF are not evidence of a buffet package price.
The wider hotel dining page also identifies Galaxy Bar, a separate coffee shop and Spur Restaurant. The coffee shop is specifically described as open 24 hours. That statement belongs to the coffee shop; it does not establish that every restaurant table or every à-la-carte dish is available around the clock. Galaxy Bar is described as an extension of the restaurant, including a bar deck and drinks selection.
For a table enquiry, the hotel publishes 0719045000 and lists its location along Mombasa Road. These details make Galaxy relevant to a day built around that side of Nairobi. They do not justify a fixed airport journey time, which depends on the actual route and traffic.
Breakfast from individual dishes
The breakfast page lists pancakes or waffles at KSh650 and French toast at KSh650. The latter is described as two slices with caramel sauce and berries. A pastry basket is KSh600, with toast, a bread roll, croissant and Danish pastry in its description. Cereal or porridge is KSh550, while a fresh fruit platter is KSh700.
Eggs are priced as a two-egg portion at KSh800, with hard-boiled, soft, scrambled or omelette preparations listed. Sausage is KSh600 and bacon KSh700. Because these are separate menu lines, adding eggs and sausage produces KSh1,400 before a separately ordered drink. It would be misleading to call that calculation the hotel’s full-breakfast package.
Soups and salads for a lighter meal
Tom khai gai soup is KSh700 and described with chicken, lemongrass, ginger and coconut milk. Butternut squash soup is also KSh700, while French onion soup and rich fish stew are KSh800 each. The fish stew description brings in saffron, garlic, tomato, onion and parsley, giving it a different flavour direction from the coconut-based chicken soup.
The salad section includes tandoori-marinated chicken at KSh1,200 and tuna salad at KSh1,200. Prawns avocado is KSh1,500 and specifies three queen prawns with avocado and vegetables in cocktail sauce. Chinese duck salad is KSh1,500, described with honey-and-hoisin-glazed duck on fried spicy egg noodles. That noodle base makes it a different kind of order from a simple bowl of leaves.
The meat section: read the cut and accompaniments
Beef tenderloin is listed as 180g at KSh1,900, with mushrooms, tomato, spinach and roast potatoes. Seven Old Wives Steak is also a 180g order at KSh1,900, described as char-grilled, butter-basted and served with mild pepper sauce. Rib-eye steak is KSh2,500, but the printed description does not state a weight, so a weight-for-weight comparison cannot be made from those lines alone.
Braised oxtail is KSh1,800 and specifies a Guinness-flavoured sauce, mashed potatoes and vegetables. Roast goat ribs are KSh1,650 with spinach and ugali. Lamb shank is KSh1,650 with Lyonnaise potatoes and vegetables. These accompaniments are part of each dish’s description, allowing a diner to choose between a Kenyan-style ugali plate and a potato-based main without guessing at an additional side order.
Pork spare ribs are KSh1,700, prepared with a honey, soy and ginger glaze and spring-onion mashed potatoes. The menu therefore gives several alternatives to steak within a similar spending range, with preparation and starch providing a more useful comparison than a generic meat category.
Chicken and seafood have their own routes
Chicken dania is KSh1,500, with chicken on the bone, chapati and rice. Chicken cordon bleu is KSh1,600 and includes ham and cheese in the filling. Chicken korma is KSh1,650, with rice, poppadum and chapati, while stir-fried chicken at KSh1,650 uses hoisin, sweet chilli, sesame oil and capsicum with onion-fried rice.
For fish, fresh tilapia fillet and darne of king fish are each KSh1,700. The tilapia description includes saffron crushed potatoes, olives, tomato and guacamole. Soy-and-Kenyan-honey-glazed salmon is KSh3,500, described with bok choy and parsley potato. Seafood stew is KSh2,000, bringing calamari, prawns and salmon together with white wine, tomato and rice.
Traditional English fish and chips is KSh1,500. Its printed description specifies beer batter, tartar sauce, lemon and kachumbari. That is a practical preparation detail for someone choosing between a fried fish plate and a pan-seared fillet, rather than a reason to assume the two orders are equivalent.
Vegetarian choices, burgers and dessert
Dal tadka is KSh1,200 with chapati, poppadum, rice and raita. Aloo Kashmiri is KSh1,200 and described as stuffed potatoes in curry sauce, while chilli paneer is KSh1,700. Stir-fried vegetables are KSh1,200 with rice or noodles. These named dishes give a vegetarian diner more information than a broad assurance that vegetables can be arranged.
Beef, cheese and chicken burgers are each KSh1,500; the gourmet burger is KSh1,700 and includes a 200g beef patty, cheese, bacon and fried egg. Spaghetti Bolognese, penne Alfredo and penne arrabbiata are each KSh1,200. The dessert page lists sticky toffee pudding and macadamia nut tart at KSh800, with lemon cheesecake at KSh850.
Galaxy’s dressed dining room suits anything from a tidy work lunch to a more deliberate dinner outfit. A small shoulder bag works for daytime; a clutch and simple earrings can carry an evening look. Moyo Lane’s collection offers accessories to browse around that plan, while the restaurant’s named dishes remain the useful basis for the meal budget.
Frequently asked questions
Where is Galaxy Restaurant? It is the ground-floor restaurant at Eka Hotel Nairobi, along Mombasa Road, with an outdoor terrace overlooking the pool.
Is the restaurant open 24 hours? Eka explicitly gives 24-hour opening for its coffee shop and describes Galaxy’s all-day dining separately. Those statements should not be combined into one restaurant-hours claim.
