His sentiments were supported by a number of Kenyans online who also shared their experience at the restaurant.
"When I was looking for a wedding venue, first they wouldn't respond to emails. Then they said they couldn't shut down the restaurant for a day because of their "regular customers." Even though it was a Thursday wedding... I got the impression they weren't there for black Kenyans," one user wrote.

According to the Restaurant's official website, the Talisman is described as an elegant Gastrolounge with an eclectic twist.
It was described as “The best place in town” by New York Times Spirited Traveler and one of Kenya’s top rated restaurants on TripAdvisor.
“The best place in town and the most happening place to see the local scene. With its low couches and beautiful gardens, the only thing needed to complete the scene is a Tusker or Dawa in hand” – O’ Donnell – The Spirited Traveler, New York Times.
Earlier in December, Raila Junior defended NTV journalist Larry Madowo after he was summoned by the Director of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to record a statement over an interview with opposition Chief Strategist David Ndii.
According to the letter, Larry was expected to avail himself to record a statement at the DCI headquarters in Nairobi.
In response to the matter, Raila Odinga Junior condemned this incident terming it an attack on press freedom and a threat to democracy.
"This is not just a blatant attack on press freedom but a threat to democracy and a violation of individual liberty," wrote Odinga junior on one of his social media pages.
