"Brunch among the trees at About Thyme About Thyme is a tranquil, leafy restaurant set in Westlands, central Nairobi, serving European cuisine. Brunch here is excellent – three pages of eggs, French toast and bagel options await. It’s a great place to go with a group, where you can book out one of the hidden tables, fitted with its own hanging fairy lights, cushions and lanterns."

It was a great experience. My friend and I drove by and decided to pop by for drinks after dinner. Arriving there was this hidden gem tropical location. With a pianist giving us a beautiful rhythm and classic jams. Lovely cocktails made by Katanga with his nice personality. We did not have dinner in this beautiful location but definitely will do when next I visit as it was my last day visiting Nairobi. But overall a lovely place to visit. We will be back again.

Good variety of western meals and some local flavors. Broad cocktail menu reasonably strong. Nice variety of seating areas including bars pending your mood. Western style club music was a meh. Parking area with small walk down to restaurant.

Just found my new favorite spot in Nairobi. Hidden in a beautiful garden, it’s the perfect place for a slow Sunday lunch – this time with live saxophone music drifting through the trees. The food? Excellent. I started with crispy potato samosas dipped in tangy tamarind sauce, followed by a golden chicken pot pie that hit all the right notes. Definitely coming back for more.

I had the pleasure of having lunch at this establishment and I would highly recommend it. They were able to make substitutions for my cappuccino with almond milk 🥛. The steak was soft and delicious with well prepared mashed potatoes. The highlight of my meal was the decadent dark chocolate mousse with raspberries 10/10. On this particular Sunday, they also had live music which entertaining and did not overwhelmed the chilled dining experience.

Hidden gem in Westlands! Perfect spot for a lazy Sunday brunch, especially when the sun’s out. The outdoor area feels like a chic boho jungle, minus the mosquitoes (thankfully). Live saxophone set the mood without being to loud. We tried multiple starters, all delicious, and the service was fast and super friendly. Can’t believe it took me this long to discover this place.

The ambience was perfect, location was perfect, service was exceptional our waitress knew what we needed even before we asked ( I wish I could remember her name but she was wearing glasses- her second name starts with Shi) her instincts were beyond amazing. The food was amazing. Definetely a 10/10

We were there with the four of us . Three adults and a baby. The very friendly staff gave us a nice table where there was a quiet place for the baby. We had a delicious meal in a very nice relaxed atmosphere! Definitely worth repeating! Greetings from your Dutch guests!
