Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Forget being spicy it was lower than mild. May be their other dishes are...good. But I had very forgettable dinneMore

We were there yesterday evening. Frankly speaking, the name should be changed from Open House to Full House as it was really full with excellent services. We appreciate the excellent services by "Mrefu" and Dan. It was also great to meet Vanch, Anilbhai, Victor and...all the other staff. The food was delicious and truly world class. Congratulations for the excellent work. Keep it up... Regards, MAYUR SHAHMore

What began as a long-shot discussion amongst family to someday go on an African Safari turned rapidly into reality when things evolved and tickets were purchased. All of a sudden, a group of 6 of us were going. For real !! All reservations for travel...and stay in Kenya and Tanzania were arranged as an all-inclusive package by our tour operator. Our first night’s stay on arrival in Nairobi was at Movenpick. For dinner that night, we were taken to this Indian restaurant --- because we were Indians ? From America ?? Or because the restaurant was then at their old location, near our hotel ? Well.. fatal error, as Indians from everywhere do not have to behave and act as from India. We do like Indian food and have a lot at home (which is why I do not like going out for Indian meals) but I was looking for more of a local food experience.. Kenyan barbecue would have been the right ticket. Anyhow: the food looked great and tasted good, but was overspiced ! …even though we asked for mild spices. It left me with indigestion for the rest of my 13-day trip in Kenya and Tanzania… not good, trip planners !!More

We were there yesterday in celebration of my wife's belated birthday. The staff, spearheaded by Victor, Fred, Sehej, Vansh and most importantly Anilbhai made us feel appreciated and at home. They welcomed us so well and accorded us excellent services. The menu was mouth-watering and...the best of the best. Indeed, I must say, open house has the best cuisine in the world. Keep it up.

A long-time favourite of mine ever from their previous location. Tasty Indian cuisine, decently priced and great portion sizes. Ever smiling and friendly servers complement the efforts of the kitchen staff. The restaurant is a bit dated, but that notwithstanding still a favourite

On behalf of Mr. Sundip and my family, I would like to congratulate Open House restaurant for the excellent services accorded to us on Saturday. The food was world class and par with the Indian restaurants - one of the best. The staff spearheaded by:...Fred, Victor, Vansh, Sehej among others did an excellent job. The ambience is excellent. Congratulations to Anilbhai, one of the co-founders of Open House Restaurant. We surely miss the Legendary Mathew who left this world a couple of years ago. Keep up the excellent work.
