Wine 5 Cafe

I had a good dining experience at Wine 5 Café. I entered the restaurant during a weekday around lunchtime. I was very impressed by the décor; the flower arrangements, statues, and colors were something I had never seen before, but it was nothing overwhelming.
I was seated quickly in an empty dining room. I believe I asked the waiter what was «good», or popular, on the menu. She suggested one of the heartier burgers and a side of vegetable logs. I agreed to order what she suggested. The burger came with a good time frame. It was a very juicy burger, but was not anything I thought was particularly special. The vegetable logs, which were various vegetables battered and fried, were pretty tasty but a bit oily.
This was the first time I was served African style food. It left me with an impression of satisfaction; I did leave with a full belly. There is a vast menu, ranging from tacos to seafood entrees. I guess I have only scratched the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Nairobi cuisine. Stop by to Wine 5 Café for a taste of Africa.

They closed!!! Nooooooooooo!
That’s so sad, they had such good food. Maybe open up again in a different place?

The staff were 5 Star. The atmosphere is 5 Star also. For a diner with ethnic theme, the food way way too bland. I expected flavour galore. I had to salt and pepper my steak. Also, my steak was too pink for medium well. I could only eat the edges.

I love this place! Nice people, great food, decent prices. I go there often enough and everyone I took there with me loved the food.
From outside looks very modest but inside is welcoming so don’t avoid it, go and try it.

Stopped here on a drive to Vegas from Reno. I usually pack a cooler of fresh healthy bites in order to avoid road food. My cooler was empty and so was my stomach at 8:00am before a few meetings. I almost caved and went to the Golden arches but I prefer starving over joining a drive thru of 13 cars manned by people with strange pipes in their mouths. Wine 5 café saved the day with their «Nairobi Lite Brunch». A poached egg, fresh fruit, and oatmeal. All for $ 5.55. It was so good I ordered the «Country Scramble» also for $ 5.55. Wine 5 Café is a Kenyan themed restaurant with great ambience and nice African pop music in the background. My only suggestion (small personal one) would be to offer stronger coffee. Go here if you care about yourself!

If you want Kenyan/​American fusion in Vegas, this is your best choice. Well, your only choice anyway.
A couple of my friends have been urging me to go to Wine 5 Café for a while now, and they finally took me there themselves today at lunchtime. Located in the Target plaza at Cheyenne and Tenaya, just off I-​15 — yep, the same plaza as The Sandwich Spot — it’s no small drive for us Henderson /​Eastern LV residents. However, it’s definitely worth it.
They’re open for all three meals, and even though their web site states that their breakfast menu is only available until noon, they were more than happy to take breakfast orders when we ate at 1pm. They also have an early bird breakfast daily from 7−9am and a weekday happy hour from 3−5pm, both of which feature $ 5.55 foods and drinks, and both of which we sadly missed. Maybe next time…
They has a Unilocal check-​in offer for one free drink per person w/​purchase, which I used for their house white wine, a Moscato. It wasn’t the best Moscato that I’ve had — just sweetness without much to fall back on. But then again, I wasn’t here for the wine, and I didn’t care enough to order a more complex wine, so I’m pretty much ignoring it for rating purposes.
Owing to a glowing review by the Vegas Burger Blog, I decided to order the River Road Jetpack Burger ($ 9.99), which contains avocado, grilled sweet onions, house pickles, lettuce, and tomatoes. The bun was nice and the meat was seasoned fine, charred, and cooked properly to my request of medium-​rare. The sweet onions were very prominent, but the pickle wasn’t so noticeable, and I could’ve forgotten that there was avocado in the ingredient list. Still, the construction of it reminded me somewhat of Bachi Burger (which I love), and the addition of their milder hot sauce (ask the server for this or their very hot sauce) gave it enough depth of flavor. I wasn’t completely blown away, but I’d consider having this burger or another of their burgers in the future.
I tried a bit of the Nairobi Farmer’s Splendid ($ 8.99), which one friend was raving about and ended up ordering. It was better than my burger. It’s a mixture of ground beef, roasted corn (one of my favorite things), black beans, fried eggs, and cheese that can be eaten with mandazi, a fried bread that seems light and not greasy. The same sweet onion is provided on the side, and this along with the aforementioned milder hot sauce were welcome but not necessary for enjoying this dish. I’ll probably have to order this on my own in the future.
We were considering going elsewhere for something creamy and frozen, but we ended up getting desserts here. The Churro Split ($ 9.99) was the more interesting of our two choices at first glance, with churros, bananas, pineapple, pecans, vanilla bean ice cream, chocolate, and crème Chantilly. The flavors and textures were all there, and the pineapple was especially sweet and juicy, but I don’t think it came together cohesively as a dish.
On the other hand, the simpler sounding Sweet Goblet ($ 7.99 — with creamy cheesecake, Oreo cookie crumbles, strawberries, and reportedly a fresh berry coulis (but definitely some whipped cream and chocolate syrup) — exceeded expectations. It had figurative and literal layers that blended together harmoniously in a faux waffle cone serving cup. It tastes richer than the mundane sundae that it sounds and looks like, and it’s simply satisfying as a dessert, especially if you like cheesecake or cookies & cream.
Overall, my impression of Wine 5 Café is that it’s simple food done right, whether it draws inspiration more from its Kenyan roots or its American home. And like a lot of places, I wish it were closer, but at least it’s not far off the highway. My Northwest and Summerlin friends should definitely take notice and give this place a try.

Came with my lovely gf on empty stomachs from California. We weren’t sure what kind of place we were coming to. I just saw it had almost five stars so we had to try.
(oh man are we happy we came)
If I’m ever in Nevada again if definitely come and eat here again. Our sever (grace) is so nice and friendly. Great customer service

Seriously, what a hidden gem! I went here for my mom’s birthday, and this place just makes me want to come back for breakfast! (Which, by the way, they do serve)
Ambiance: 5 — Unique. It almost made me feel like I was in the backyard of a someone’s house in Louisiana as they were cooking us up goods from the kitchen window! At the same time, the space makes it feel intimate and formal – it’s easily somewhere you can take the man (or woman) on a date ;)
Service: 5 — Amazing service. And they’re also super friendly!
Food: 4 — Can get expensive sometimes, but the food here is pretty good, and I’m surprised more people don’t come here more often! I had the steak and eggs for breakfast and it was delicious! I also had the chicken curry, which in my opinion, is the best thing on their menu!
Try it out! It’s definitely a unique experience and some of the best food up North!

We have been meaning to come here for sometime. In the TARGET center. The HAPPY HOUR IS 7 days a week (a plus) wine and a list of apps for $ 5.55. They also have a kids menu which was not typical and awesome! Homemade, wedge cut «log fries» and chicken strips that were clearly made from scratch. The happy hour menu descriptions do not do the food justice. Veggie Quesadilla (with choice of meat) were so flavorful and the veggie and sausage pizzeria toto could have been a full meal, it had almost a full salad on top! Will be back, to explore even more of the menu!

The restaurant is located in West Cheyenne and N Tenaya Way in the same strip of Target Shopping center.
The ambiance is cute and cozy, I couldn’t help but noticed the intricate details of the restaurant, it made me feel like I was in Kenya. The menu consists of American dishes touched with species from Kenya. The menu consists of variety of choices from grilled chicken salad, rib-​eye steaks, tacos, burgers and authentic Kenya dishes.
I came here last night with couple of friends for dinner. I was debating between Taste of Nairobi which is chicken curry and chapatti but went with Traditional Nayama and Ugali that has tender braised beef, white polenta, spinach stew, sweet potato logs. I had the beef medium well which was perfect and the flavor was unique. I had a taste of their South African wine Cabernet Sauvignon which was light and crisp and I really liked it.
The waiter was attentive and I inquired which ones were authentic Kenyan dishes and he suggested some of the ones he liked. The price of the food was reasonable and the food was plentiful.

Had Nairobi Farmer’s splendid for 8.99.
It was delicious.
Juicy ground beef, with roasted corn, beans, fried eggs and a light cheese blend enjoyed, with mandazi. (Kenyan bread)
I recommend this place very highly.
The service was outstanding and the atmosphere is great! What else can you ask for? Check it out, you’ll like what you discover!

Omg! Can’t say how much I love this place! Love the atmosphere, ambience, and overall service excellence! The wine (Stella Organic Pinot Grage) is so good, you’ll want to ask for a whole bottle to take home! It’s amazing. The hubby and I had «The Exception» burger and might I tell you it was amazing! The veggie fries are so wonderfully made too! I say order them!!! Overall, if you want ambience, relaxation, great food, and service excellence; Wine 5 Café is THE place to go! Oh! Ask for Grace! She’s amazing!!!

As usual I’m trying to be objective and rate an establishment on three aspects: food, service and interior space.
Food:
Ordered Philly sandwich and W5 assorted grill. We ended up waiting about 40 minutes for food. I wish I was told that some items may take a long time then I might have ordered appetizer or something different to avoid such a long wait.
Mixed grill plate ended up being rather below average quality — salmon was raw inside and tasted unseasoned, pork was OK, chicken wing is… a chicken wing and steak even though was cooked as requested (MR) had a lot of gristle in it to the point of frustration. Philly sandwich interpretation wasn’t bad. Steak fries had a lot of breading on it (of which we were told).
Service: prompt and attentive so no complaints here.
Interior: cozy and I could see the owners effort.
P. S. I wish that kid menu was not on the glossy paper. It is close to impossible to color it with crayons for a little one. You might want to switch it to regular paper on next batch.

We walked in on a whim for breakfast, and I’m glad we did! There is really no other restaurant like Wine 5 Café. The décor and the music are great! The food was delicious. I had the waffles with a very fruity mimosa. Everything was savory and sweet. Best mimosa I’ve ever had, too. I’ve never had Kenyan food before, but I will definitely be coming back to this place. The prices were very reasonable as well.
Our waiter was also a peach!

Great customer service, with a welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast dishes were amazing served quickly, and tasted great. Definitely would recommend for American and Kenyan dishes.

I love this place. I never would have guessed it was this great judging by location and exterior front.
Kitchen and dining are very clean and the décor is so fun! Lots of African flare which makes for super fun visual stimulation.
Our host/​server was so sweet and inviting. She knew her menu well too!
Now for the important stuff… the food…
The caramelized onions are to die for. Almost like an onion jam! Great over honeydew.
The Chefs omelet was perfection. I have never had a more perfectly cooked omelet. Great selection of fresh ingredients and the perfect combo of cheeses. The potatoes that cam with it were seasoned just right and crispy but not crunchy… if that makes sense. I highly recommend this dish on their standard breakfast menu.
Orange juice was good.
Coffee was the only thing I wasnt crazy about honestly. Great flavor but not strong enough for my personal taste.

We went here for Mother’s Day Brunch (found out about this place the day before) and was surprised it was rather empty — we arrived at around 10:40am, or maybe closer to 11am.
Seating:
We were greeted promptly and were sat relatively quickly (our server/​host just had to set the table/​wipe down the booth). Of course, I noticed the Mimosa station upon entering, so when we were asked what we wanted to drink, I asked for a (Delightful) mimosa… and coffee. :)
Food:
There were a lot of choices on the menu and a short description of what was included. A lot of «Traditional» American breakfast fare, some with a Kenyan twist. I wanted to try the «Hakuna Matata Rafiki Breakfast» (yes, Lion King fan here ;)), but my eye was drawn to the «Tatu Estate Brunch Special» — aka Chicken and Waffles! ZOMG. Chicken. So. Good. Waffles. Crispy! The sweet potato fries topper was a pleasant surprise, too. It was all flavourful, but not overpowering. The spinach nu jue complimented the entire plate. Did I mention the chicken was so good? :)
Also tried the Mandazi. We didn’t know what it was, but our server explained it as deep-​fried dough. Hello donuts! Kenyan-​style. It paired well with honey.
Serving size was great and more than enough (except for my bro who’s bulking up and inhaled his steak and eggs) ;)
Service:
Our server was prompt, friendly, attentive, and quick! Our food came out fast, too. I’m glad we had an «earlier» brunch since the place started to fill-​up when we were in the middle of our meal.
Ambiance:
The décor was eclectic, but cosy. It wasn’t too-​in-​your-​face-​Kenyan/​East African-​themed, but there were little trinkets here and there that gave the impression you weren’t just in a «regular» restaurant.
I’m definitely a fan and will return to try the other dishes!

Another hidden gem of Las Vegas. Beef and greens samosas are worth the visit alone. Large portioned, fresh and crisp. Had the steak dinner for two with traditional Kenyan sides, and home made flat bread. Fantastic!!! Service was exceptional. Really eclectic interior, so cute, island feel.
Laid back feel with fine dining treatment.
Make sure you hug the chef, she is fabulous.
There is something on the menu for everyone including kids.

Something great for anyone with a truly unique menu and good selection of wine.
As I walked in to get a late lunch exiting patrons made a point of telling me how much I was going to enjoy the food. They had recently discovered this café two weeks ago and had come back 5 times already.
This is my favorite place for a meal in this area.

Been here twice for a late lunch (2pm). Restaurant was empty both times. Service was slow the first time (took a while to get the check bc the hostess disappeared), but the second time was much better.
I ordered the Cheyenne pork sandwich on both occasions. It was so tasty the first time I had to try it again. The meat has a lil sweet kick to it. I would probably order it again. Average prices. Clean restaurant.
Wine 5 is located in the same plaza as Target, so go eat, then shop to walk off the calories. Parking is a non-​issue.
