Village Market

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I had my first bowling experience at Village Market, and it was fantastic! The mall is a vibrant blend of shopping, dining, and entertainment, with over 250 outlets and more than 50 diverse restaurants. The unique architecture offers both indoor and outdoor experiences, making it a perfect spot for families and friends. Highly recommend visiting!

My favorite place in Nairobi (outside of the parks). I spent a full day here to kill time and go shopping and I couldn't have picked a better spot. It's a large, open-air mall with free wifi, two food courts, stand-alone restaurants, and many retail shops from clothing to souvenirs to textiles to plants to the Carrefour grocery store. The array of food is impressive including Italian, Chinese, Korean, Thai, oysters and champagne, bubble tea, gelato, and even a locally-made cheese shop! Most shops are more costly and aimed at foreigners and expats, so be aware. Excellent place to look for locally-sourced Kenyan clothes and products, and to spend a day shopping.

I'm writing about the retail and food complex, not the adjacent hotel. Loved it. It was my go-to place for everything that I needed when I was in Nairobi. There are plenty of restaurants serving local and international cuisines. There is a big supermarket (Carrefour) and lots of souvenir shops. The Masai even hold a flea market on Fridays and I was able to buy very beautiful Kenyan handicrafts.

An ideal mall for family outings and meet up with friends besides offering an expansive array of retail shops and restaurants. This is a great architectural marvel with the latest extension consisting of the famous under the sea area ideal for kids and young adults. The Christmas season with dazzling lights and decorations adds the charm making every shopper enjoy every minute spent within this mall memorable.

This is a great mall. Very unique, with outdoor and indoor spaces, good restaurants and entertainment.

It's a really fun place for a couple or family day out. Budget some money if you are planning to go for more than one attraction though cause it can get expensive but apart from that there's a variety of activities for all tastes here. Minigolf VR arcade bowling pool table tennis trampolines gym restaurants and all kinds of shops. Adults and kids can have a lot of fun here and the place looks really cute. There's a big parking lot inside but I'm not sure if you have to pay for it.

Great place to hangout with loads to do. A one stop shop. There are plenty of restaurants to choose from, all sorts of shops, a supermarket, a hospital, TBC, arcade etc. You will not be short of options. It is however, an expensive place. Make sure you have enough money. Plenty of activities for kids too.

My visit to The Village Market in Gigiri was a unique and varied shopping experience. Nestled in a leafy environment, the presence of armed police added an extra layer of security, likely due to its proximity to diplomatic missions, ensuring a safe shopping environment. The Village Market boasts a diverse range of shops, offering a wide array of products and services. The layout is well-organized, providing shoppers with a seamless navigation through the different sections. What stood out to me was the presence of two sophisticated food courts, each offering a delightful selection of cuisines. The thoughtful arrangement prevents the overwhelming feeling often associated with competing restaurants, allowing for a relaxed dining experience. For those seeking fine dining options, Harvest restaurant provides an elegant setting. The inclusion of separate restaurants adds a touch of versatility, catering to various culinary preferences. However, the bowling alley was a contrasting element, contributing to a noisy atmosphere that might not appeal to everyone. The Village Market excels in meeting grocery needs with three major supermarkets and various specialty grocery shops. The availability of multiple cafes further enhances the social and leisure aspect of the shopping complex. In conclusion, The Village Market offers a comprehensive shopping experience, combining a secure environment with a diverse range of shops and dining options. While the noisy bowling alley may not be to everyone's liking, the overall layout and variety make it a noteworthy destination for those seeking a well-rounded and enjoyable shopping outing.
