The 20 Essential Nairobi Restaurants

"About Thyme serves an eclectic continental menu in a comfy, formerly residential space complete with a garden. The space is decked out with fairy lights and there’s comfortable couch seating where shisha (hookah) is available for guests. Try the sticky date pudding, coconut-battered snapper, and pumpkin-amaretti tortellini." - Wendy Watta, Soni Adriance

"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."

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.

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.

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!

This is a good place for quality food and drinks in Westlands Nairobi. I enjoyed their continental breakfast in one beautiful Sunday morning. The restaurant is ideal for people who like passing time in a natural environment. Price is on the high end, and service was good. The atmosphere was warm with a solo saxophonist ▶️ playing some popular tunes.

Beautiful ambience. We visited for breakfast/ brunch on Sunday morning. The vibe was beautiful! Live music playing in the background. The food was delicious and fresh and very satisfying. This is a pet friendly restaurant, and our little furr babies absolutely enjoyed their time here. Be sure to book if you plan to visit on a Sunday. They have a fully stocked bar and I am sure it's a good place for friday evening wind down. Beautiful place! Delicious Food! Good Service!.

Great restaurant with very kind people. Delicious food and drinks. We had Oyster karagee and Tuna tartar as a starter. Tuna steak, vegetables/ cheese tart. During dinner, we've got free samples of beer, which we tasted and ordered extra from. Recommended restaurant to visit! Cheers!

We absolutely loved our evening meal. We sat outside on the verandah. I would recommend eating on the patios set underneath leafy trees and vegetation. We had salmon with lemon which was absolutely delicious and the portions are very generous. The staff are pleasant and service was quick. Some monkeys play on the roof and are apparently known to snatch food. I would highly recommend a visit.
