I’ve used Glovo every other time and I like that they not only deliver food, but you can also shop and have it brought to your place. It’s simple to set up and use. You download the app and set up your account using your phone number. You can choose to put a specific location if it’s where most of your orders will be delivered or choose a location when confirming your order. They also charge fairly for delivery. Most of my deliveries cost less than 200/= from Nakuru CBD to Milimani. That’s a distance of about 10km. The app lets you track your order. It’ll notify you when the restaurant gives the food to the rider. Then it updates the map to where the rider is every other minute. Also, if you order frequently, they give you discounts on the delivery fee. The rider also gets your number on the app. This helps a lot, especially with directions. In case they get lost, they can call you and you direct them. My most frequent order is the burger from Lennz pizza (they have the best burgers in Nakuru) Although unconventional (and I don’t know if it’s allowed) you can call the rider once he/she receives your order, and have them pick something from a shop near your place. This speaks to how friendly the riders are. I’m yet to disagree with any of their riders. Once the rider arrives, you should confirm the contents of your delivery coz twice, the restaurant has had my order wrong. If that happens, the rider can go back and get the correct order at the restaurant's expense. Glovo is convenience personified.

I only recently started using Jumia Food when a friend showed me how affordable their delivery fee is. They also have a good number of the not so well known restaurant. Like in Nakuru, you’ll find that Jumia Foods is the only app that has Majid restaurant (Majid has the tastiest samosas and the size of the samosas is massive). Setting up the account is simple although they do require your email address. I don’t like that but it might be necessary for them so that they can send promotional newsletters. In case you refer someone to Jumia Foods and they input your code when setting up their account, you get discounts on food or delivery fees. The way the app is set up, you get to see what’s favorite for most people which is good. I’ve also noticed something only the Jumia Food riders do. They call you as soon as they receive the order to confirm the location and all. This is even though the app informs you as soon as the rider receives the order. You also get to track the order from the moment you place it, to when it’s ready when the rider receives it, and the route the rider uses. Jumia Food is fairly new but the way they operate is top-notch. Maybe it’s coz they have experience with delivery from their main app, Jumia. Apart from their low delivery fee, nothing else stands out. Maybe that’s because I expect them to be as good (the things we take for granted) Overall, it’s a reliable app to have your food delivered.

This is the most recent mall in Nakuru and it is fantastic. It's located some 5 minutes drive from the CBD and a cab costs about 200/=. The first thing you notice when you get to the mall is its size. It’s massive (in Nakuru standards). The next thing you notice is the murals on the walls. They are spectacular. It’s amazing seeing art on buildings instead of the usual cold, painted wall. They have security checkpoints at the entrance and exit. The mall also has so much packing space. There’s parking on the ground floor, two floors dedicated to parking, and parking on the rooftop. And you know what, they don’t charge parking. You can’t miss things to do at the mall. If you want to have a coffee or food, there’s Origins Coffee on the ground floor. If you want to shop, there’s Chandarana on the ground floor. If you want your kids to have fun, there’s an arcade on the ground floor. If you want to party, there’s The Eagles Nest on the rooftop. You wouldn’t believe the view from the club. You can see the city with a backdrop of Lake Nakuru. At night, the lights from the city is beautiful. I was a bit disappointed that they didn’t set up a cinema. I’ve been looking forward to Nakuru having a cinema since my first time at Imax Anga House. It’s great seeing these developments in Nakuru. I’m looking forward to what the future has in store.

This is one of the oldest supermarkets in Nakuru. Heck, the whole of Kenya. It was formerly known as Nakuru Mattresses. Fun fact, if you remember Nakumatt, they originated from Woolmatt. Nakumatt - Nakuru Mattresses (see the similarity) They have two stores within the CBD. One is close to Westside Mall and the other is on the other side of the CBD. My first memory of shopping at Woolmatt is back when I was in primary school and they have maintained their affordability and great customer service. If you’ve been to Naivas or Chandarana, then the floor design of Woolmatt will disappoint you. They make up for that with the number of staff at your beck and call in case you don’t know where a particular thing is. Their prices and great service have attributed to their customer loyalty. My mum, for example, she’ll drive past Chandarana and Naivas to go to Woolmatt. One downside of customer loyalty is the queues during rush hour or when schools open. It’s maddening. But once you reach the counter, the cashier greets you with a familiar warm smile and they often ask how your day has been. I know some guys don’t like the small talk but I think it’s a big part of why I like Woolmatt. The management is also friendly. I remember there was a time we were doing Christmas carols in some spots in Nakuru. We just asked for the manager, he came. We explained what we wanted to do, and he didn’t even need time to think it through before giving the okay. Woolmatt is a benchmark of customer service.

This is one of my favorite spots to chill on Saturdays and Sundays. It’s located in Milimani, some 15 minutes from Nakuru CBD. The ambiance at Little Garden is crazy. It was a residential house that was converted into a bistro. There are several tents with some having four seats and others with benches. You decide on where to seat depending on the crowd you’re with. They also have a seat that swings and is a great place to seat with your partners as you take cocktails. I’m not a fan of how clubs are usually packed and the loud music and so, Little Garden offers the calmness and soft background music that I enjoy. The ambiance is also great if you’re hosting a party. You have to call in advance so that they can set up the venue. Because of the lawn’s size, guys can have their party while other guests can still chill in the other tents and enjoy their time. I have also had several meetings there and the guys I bring are impressed by its tranquility. The cost of drinks and food is also friendly. Beers range from 200/= to 350/ and a bottle of Gilbeys goes for 2500/= The staff is also very welcoming. Considering the number of times I’ve been there, I have a favorite waiter, Ben. So whenever he spots me, he knows what to serve without me asking. It's currently my favorite place to chill and if ever you’re in Nakuru and you want a place to relax and enjoy your drinks, Little Garden is that place.

I’ve used this app several times and I like how convenient it is. I think they have great charges for delivery, especially for long distances. Setting up the app is easy and even easier if you have Uber already signed in. I use Uber Eats many for ordering from mainstream fast food joints like KFC, Galitos, or Pizza Inn. I also think coz of how big Uber is as a company, they can give discounts, not only on the delivery fee but also on food. There was a time, I get a 3-piecer from KFC for almost half the price. You also get discounts if you refer someone to the app and they register using your code. The riders are friendly and patient. There was this time, I place an order from Chicken Inn Thika Road Mall and I asked the rider to check the order before leaving the mall. Several times I’ve ordered and asked for extra ketchup and the restaurants ignore it. So this rider got to the counter, opened and checked my order, and requested two extra ketchup sachets, the way I like it. Even after the rider opened my order, I didn’t find anything missing. Trust worth guys, those once. The app allows you to track your order from the time the rider receives it, to when they get to your door. Some riders are also chivalrous. Let’s say you live on the 4th floor, they’ll hand-deliver it to you. Others just leave it with the guard at the gate. The service is a key reason I choose Uber Eats over other delivery services.

This is the most recent supermarket in Nakuru. I thought it was totally new, but after some research, I found out that they’ve had stores in Nairobi and this is just their first branch in Nakuru. The store is located within the CBD (next to Woolmatt) where Naivas was before they moved to Westside mall. Being in the CBD, parking is a big issue and most of the time, you’ll have to circle the area a few times or park some distance from the store. This can be an issue if you’re shopping is bulky. A hack you can try is to park on the street behind the main entrance. They have two entrances, one at the front and the other at the back. The two entrances and exits also come in handy in reducing congestion at whichever counter you choose. As the name suggests, their setup is simple and clean. You know the feeling of shopping at a new store and everything looks clean, that’s how Cleanshelf is. It feels like a breath of fresh air from the norm of the existing supermarkets. I had a chance to try a donut from their bakery and I was mind blown. Just the right amount of sugar and chocolate. I hope it doesn’t change over time. I’ve seen in many supermarkets that when the number of customers increases, the quality suffers. They have all the necessities on the ground floor while electronics, furniture, and clothes are on the first floor. The staff is very helpful especially since it’s a new space and you don’t know where most things are. I like that new stores are coming up in Nakuru. I hope to see more of that.

If you want affordable but delicious ice cream, this is the spot. Plus they have branches all over Nairobi, so accessing it is no hassle. I’ve been to several of their spots and so when I heard that they were opening one in Nakuru, I was happy. The one in Nakuru is located along Kenyatta Avenue, opposite KCB bank. The location is very accessible but the downside is getting parking space. The counter is on the ground floor while the sitting area is on the first floor. It’s a huge sitting area coz they share the space with Pizza Inn, Chicken Inn, and Galito’s. There’s also a terrace with a street view which is a great spot if you’re on a date. You can get an ice cream cone from as low as 50/= and it’s mad tasty. I also find their portions generous. There’s also a variety of toppings (they charge 50/= for toppings) from syrups, sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or cherries. They also offer milkshakes, fresh juice, smoothies, sundaes, and snacks like donuts. You should try their donuts with vanilla icing plus sprinkles. One of the tastiest donuts I’ve had to date. Recently I tried their Peppermint double-thick milkshake (which goes for 350/=) and I did not like it one bit. I don’t know why I felt adventurous instead of sticking to my usual Caramel and Oreo double thick. I can’t believe people take that flavor. Lesson learned. Anyway, it’s great seeing Nakuru getting these brands. I hope guys enjoy them the way I know guys in Nairobi do.

You know those days you get home after a long day. You don’t have the energy to cook so you order from your favorite fast food joint. I used to do this a lot while in Nairobi but since I relocated to Nakuru, the options were limited. So when Chicken Inn announced that they’ll open a branch in Nakuru, I was excited but mostly relieved coz I’ll have several options to choose from. They had a grand opening last year and for a month or two, the place was always packed. The branch is located in the CBD, along Kenyatta Avenue. It helps with accessibility but it’s a nightmare to get parking. They have the counter on the ground floor and the dining area is on the first floor. It’s a huge dining space considering they’re sharing the space with Pizza Inn, Galito’s, and Creamy Inn. There’s also a terrace with a street view. It's a cool space for dates, meetings, or group hangouts. To be honest, my favorite item from Chicken Inn’s menu is the sweet and sour sauce. It goes for 30/= and it makes your meal so much tastier. Even when I get just a two-piecer (goes for 300/=), I get two of those sweet and sour sauces. Also, you can order from the various food delivery services and get their food right at your doorstep. I hope more franchises come to Nakuru and I also hope guys from Nakuru enjoy the ones that are here. You got to luv that chicken!

Nothing like tasty pizza to light up your day. I’ve been going to Pizza Inn for as long as I can remember. The downside was that I could only do it when in Nairobi. So when they announced that they’ll open a branch in Nakuru, you can guess how excited I was. The branch was opened last year. They did a huge grand opening with offers and all. It got Nakuru’s residents very excited and for like a month or two after, it was a hustle to get space to eat. I waited till the hype was over to get me their tasty pizza. They are located right in the CBD along Kenyatta avenue. Due to the location, parking is an issue. If you don’t want the hassle, you can order from any of the food delivery services. The counter is on the ground floor. The dining area is on the first floor and it’s huge. They have a terrace with a street view. A cool space if you’re on a date. Pizza Inn is consistent with its tasty pizza. Also, their toppings are really good. Recently I tried their chicken and bacon pizza and I don’t think I’ll order any other flavor for some time. They also have Terrific Tuesday on which you get 2 pizzas for the price of one, whichever the size. The prices range from 600/= to 1250/= and sizes include small, medium and large. I know guys in Nakuru will enjoy this spot. I know I do.

This is the newest club in Nakuru. One thing about Nakuru is when a new club opens, everyone flocks there for the coming months. The club is located on the rooftop of The Golden Life mall. It being on the rooftop means that the view is amazing. During the day, you can see Nakuru and Lake Nakuru. At night, the lights from the city are beautiful. Parking is never an issue because there are 2 floors dedicated to parking plus extra parking on the rooftop. On some nights when the club is packed, you’ll have to park on the ground floor. Once you enter the club, you have two options on where to sit. Either on the terrace, which is huge or towards the bar. The DJ has his/her decks in the middle of the terrace which gives the space a lot of energy. The service is almost always great considering the number of waiters, waitresses, and bouncers. Alcohol is moderately priced with beer ranging from 250/= to 350/=. Hard liquor ranges from 2000/= to 4000/= for the less exclusive bottles. I usually get Gilbeys which goes for 2500/= The club also invites guest DJs every other weekend. The last time I was there, they had Dj Grauchi, and if you know his performances, he brought the house down. It’s also a great spot to have brunch or dates coz it’s an open space and has a great view. They also have some of the cleanest washrooms I’ve seen in nightclubs. If you visit Nakuru and want a great night plus a peaceful night out, this is the place to visit.

These guys were hosting one of the world’s most loved music groups, WSTRN, on the 30th of April 2022. I have been a fan of the group for a couple of years. Getting a chance to see their live performance was a chance I was not missing. The event was hosted at The Waterfront Karen which was a great choice for a venue (compared to other venues) coz it ensured almost no chances of losing my phone. The regular tickets were going for 2000/=. I wasn’t sure what time to go to the event but I hoped I didn’t miss any of the other great performances. I got there at around 9:30 pm. The venue has a great parking spot and parking is free for the first 90 minutes. I liked the way the organizers had set up the event. There was one checkpoint for the mall, then another one for the event. It was orderly and some distance from the tents which the search and moving around easy. I got there just in time to catch Miss Karun’s performance. It was so good and everyone was singing along. I liked that the event wasn’t excessively packed. There was one stall for buying booze and the prices were friendly. 350/= for beers and 2000/= to 6000/= for a bottle of liquor. At some point in the night, you had to wait for some time to be served but it was bearable. Some other performers included Lil Maina, Burukulyn Boyz, Silverstone Barz, Butross, Beyt, and several DJs. The performances were great but WSTRN brought the house down. They performed at around 2 am. Everyone was singing word for word. I liked that they performed for an hour and then some. It was one of my most memorable nights and I also got to make a new friend. I also noticed that the organizers had guys move within the crowd every few minutes picking litter. By the end of the event, you wouldn’t even guess that there was an event there coz the grounds were clean. I can’t wait for their next event. They are great organizers. If only other event organizers could emulate them.

Bata is the largest shoe manufacturer in Kenya. They’ve been around since 1939 with over 150 branches in Kenya. I believe most Kenyans have had at least one shoe from there. In Nakuru, they have 3 stores in the CBD alone. Their shoes are quality and long last above all their competitors. I have worn Bata shoes since kindergarten. Their main branch in Nakuru along Kenyatta Avenue has been my go-to since then. That particular store has not changed since then if you can believe that. It’s very compact and you’ll notice that if you visit them when schools open. It is packed to the brim. It’s almost unbearable at that time. On other days, the shopping experience is great. The staff is very pleasant. Always keen to get to the best shoe or shoe you the deals they have at that time. I like their service a lot. This is the go-to place if you want the best for your feet.

This is one of the main players in the petroleum sector in Kenya. In Nakuru alone, they have about 5 filling stations. I haven’t seen any stand-out quality about the only that, they never have queues at their stations. You are assured of a quick in-out when you choose Kobil. Their main branch in the CBD is the main bus stop for Easy Coach and that makes it the main stage for a lot of long-distance travelers. They also have a food mart which serves very tasty chips masala if you need some for the road. I’ve also noted that their staff is not talkative compared to other filling stations. That can be a good or bad thing depending on your preference. Their location in the CBD is also very convenient considering it’s right at the periphery. It’s a reliable filling station for fuel, tire pressure, and food.

This is a popular clinic where most of the referrals for x-rays are done. It’s located within Nakuru CBD which adds to its convenience and they have been open since time immemorial which adds to their reliability. I have been there several times and I can confidently claim that they are the best at their jobs. They have a huge lounge area with plenty of seats owing to their large clientele. It’s advisable to go at the earliest time possible because past midday, there is a long line. This happens Monday to Saturday. Their prices are fair and their staff an excellent. You are welcomed with a smile and while taking the X-ray, they direct you calmly on how to position yourself and all. They also produce the feedback quite fast and if it’ll take time, you’ll be told to come back after an hour, and true to their word, you’ll have your images. A wonderful clinic, no wonder they get so many referrals.

Mount Kenya University is fairly new when compared to the veteran universities in Kenya. Despite that, it has grown at such a fast rate to become a choice university for many. They have their main campus in Meru and several town campuses around the country. The campus in Nakuru is barely a decade old. It’s is located in the convenient CBD. The campus is huge. You can spot the building from a distance making it easy to spot if you want to pay a visit. I went there once just to satisfy my curiosity. Security at the gate is tight but is very delightful. They showed me to the reception when I had a chat with the receptionist who was gloomy. A bad day maybe? The classroom is huge and the lecture to student ratio is decent. They offer several courses but their champion course in Commerce. For me, it felt like a concrete jungle but that’s understandable considering its locale. It’s a decent campus and a good choice for anyone looking to join.

This is an old decor shop in the heart of Nairobi CBD. Floor Decor Kenya is popular with stores in the major towns in Kenya. I hadn’t known that they had an outlet in Nairobi until sometime back when I east looking for artificial grass for my balcony. I tried looking online but came up with nothing. My mum then suggested that I visited their store and gave me the directions. It’s a small store such that they have some of their products advertised on the corridor outside the store. I remember being very impressed with their display. The way the colors of the materials blend while some pieces are in complete contrast. The lady at the store look stern at first but after exchanging pleasantries, I found her delightful. I was able to get the artificial grass at a fair price and they even offered to deliver it but I didn’t need that at that time. Talk about customer service.

This is the main restaurant for The Ole Ken hotel. If you know Ole Ken, then be sure that this restaurant is very classy. My partner has organized a surprise dinner sometime back and I loved every moment of it. The hotel is pretty huge so finding it wasn’t an issue. You have to street park but there is CCTV and a guard so that’s a tick for safety. The interior of the hotel is very classy. There’s a beautiful blend of black white and brown plus the lighting brings it all together beautifully. We got to the restaurant and there was plenty of seating options including the terrace which has a view of Lake Nakuru. We decided to seat in the booths. The service was fast. I had T-bone steak and some dip, all very delicious, while she has fillet and some rice. There pricing is not so bad plus there is a lot of space for privacy. I loved the experience.

This is arguable the best secondary school in Nyahururu. It’s so good that you have parents from all over the country trying to secure a spot at Nyahururu Elite for their kids. It’s a mixed boarding school and a private one. Their school fees are pricy but with it comes a lot of privileges such as great teachers, amazing co-curricular resources, great food, and even helps who clean clothes for the students there. The school is mixed but they have different classrooms for boys and girls. They interact on few occasions such as sporting events or major school meetings. What to keep in mind is that Nyahururu is pretty cold most of the year so make sure your child is super warm. All my friends who’ve been through that school insist that they wouldn’t want to have gone through high school anywhere else. A testament to its class.

This is one is a popular public primary school in Nakuru. It’s located along prison road some 10 minutes from Nakuru CBD. Over the years it has had a surge in the number of enrollments mainly due to good performance on KCPE and also an increase in resources. The school is huge and has all the classes from class one to class eight. It’s a day school and also a mixed school. They have a huge football pitch and you can see the kids playing if you pass by there at either break time or lunchtime. It’s also in a very secure location in between Milimani Estate and London Estate. Most of the students come from London estate and after classes, you can see a huge migration of kids as they get from school to their homes. It’s a good option for a public primary school.

This is one of a few cafes that I would visit every single day of the week and not tire. They have two branches, one in the village market and the other on the ground floor of the Riverfront building. Having been to both multiple times, I am amazed by their consistency. I only see such in fast food franchises but this place is an exception. They offer a serene environment to start your day or bring a date. The large windows allow for a beautiful view of the surrounding trees. The staff is friendly and your order takes the shortest time possible but still tastes amazing. The prices are a bit high but it’s worth every cent. Something I don’t see people trying is the mango mixed fruit smoothie and grilled chicken panini. That’s a combo made in heaven. It’s a must-visit if you’re in Nairobi.

Do you know of a place in Nairobi where you get to kick back, listen to birds while you enjoy your drink? If not, let me tell you about Chez Sonia. It’s a tranquil bar located along the suburban Peponi Road some 20 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab costs you about kes 600. The first time my partner showed me their Instagram, I was somewhat reluctant because it looked too chic. Upon visiting, I know that it will be among my favorite spots to unwind. It’s a great bar whose premises was a home now converted to a bar. The lush garden and lawn with lots of trees, the rustic feel of the decor, and the chilled music are things you didn’t know you need in your life till you experience it. I also think it’s an ideal spot to propose. I had a wonderful time and going back.

This is such a great spot to wind off. Whether is during the end of a weekday or on a lazy weekend, this is the place to kick back and relax. It’s located in Langata inside the National Park some 20 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab costs about kes 600. I went for this event they had, comedy in the wild, which was an absolute success. First, the tickets were cheap. Then they had a lineup of non-mainstream comedians which was a welcome relief. Then the space is fantastic. A lot of open space and clean air, wonderful decor, and comfortable seats. I especially like the mural at the restaurant's entrance. There was also happy hour happening so two cocktails for the price of one. Occasionally, a baboon or two would pass close by. It’s a place worth checking out.

This is a popular hotel located on the 6th floor of Krishna Centre in Westlands some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab cost about kes 400. My partner went there on a date some time back and my experience was fifty fifty. We got there some minutes to noon and went straight to the restaurant. The restaurant has a spectacular view of Westlands. However, the decor is nothing memorable. It looks really old. I don’t know if it’s the colors. The seats are hardly comfortable. I can’t imagine spending more than an hour there. I also don’t know if it’s the timing but they took such a long time to make our order. I had the chicken tikka masala which was priced fairly, about kes 800, but the taste just wasn’t there. They have room for improvement.

What a wonderful open space this hotel has. It’s located in Muthaiga some 20 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab costs about kes 600. I had heard a lot about this place, both negative and positive, and recently I got the chance to attend one of their Sunday brunches. My expectation was for a party like a brunch like the one in Milan but this place is more subtle. They have such a lovely space. Lots of open space and you can sit anywhere. One thing you have to keep in mind is how you dress. The guys there were looking sharp. I think it’s because of the numbers but it’s was a hustle to place an order and I ended up waiting for quite some time. It didn’t bother me much because the space is fantastic and the slow music is soothing. It’s worth the visit.

This place offers an amazing ambiance while indulging in amazing Spanish food, wine, or cocktails. I have been to the branch at Riverside following my partners' relentless pleas. The restaurant is located some 11 minutes from Nairobi CBD and we paid about kes 400 for a cab. It’s classy and I could see my partner fall in love from the moment we walked in. The decor is superb. There’s a lot of open space and dates get the privacy they deserve. I always like seeing art on restaurant walls and this place is no different. We had gone for the Friday happy hour which starts from 4 pm to 7 pm where you buy one cocktail and get one free. The place was packed and there was this happy vibe. We didn’t get space on the terrace. Nonetheless, we had a fantastic time.

We had a friend's birthday party at this restaurant a week ago and everything from the service, decor, and views made it a very memorable party. Hero restaurant is located on the 9th floor of Trademark hotel in Village market which is some 25 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab cost about kes 700. Before the d-day, we kissed with the management and they gave us the best date to come when there would be few people and also the best spot for a group to dine. Walking out of the elevator and into the restaurant, you notice the comic artwork on the walls. It looks fantastic. They had as at the far side of the restaurant where there was a couple of couches. Guys had already started taking lectures from the minute they walked in. One of the waiters, Reagan, took such good care of us. The management had given us a group package which saved some change considering this joint is fairly pricy. They are amazing hosts.

This is one Instagram-worthy hotel. From the waiting area, the restaurant, and the coffee spot, the design and decor are a sight to behold. The hotel is located along Milimani road, some 10 minutes from Nairobi CBD, and taking a cab cost about kes 250. Not too long ago, I had a meeting over breakfast at the Basasha coffee shop and it’s was delightful. The hotel’s architecture is a marvel. They have a Swahili theme and you know how beautiful Swahili architecture is. Walking past the reception, you can’t fail to notice the effort put into the decor. There’s this waiter who even offered to walk me to the coffee shop where the guy I was to meet was waiting sitting comfortably on these couches they have there. They also serve a mean cappuccino. This is a must-visit if you’re in Nairobi.

I have been to Sagret Hotel twice and the one constant that I like is their Nyama Choma. The hotel is located along Milimani Road some 8 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab costs about kes 200. The times I’ve been here are with guys from my Rotary Club on Campus. Our management likes this spot for several reasons. One, they have ample space inter case that we come with a bus. Second, they have a lot of sitting space. Whether you dine on the terrace or indoor restaurant or the conference room, you will be able to fit several people. I also noticed that they have a playing area for kids. The main reason for liking it is the nyama choma. You walk up to the kitchen and choose which part you want, then they prepare scrumptious bbq meat. For the accompaniments, there’s an assortment of choices from ugali, fries, or ugali. Their nyama choma is fantastic.

In my escapades to find the best Chinese Restaurant, I got to experience this fine establishment. It’s located in Upper Hill some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab cost about kes 400. Whenever I visit a new Chinese restaurant, I always go with the safer options of dumplings but on my visit here, a delightful waitress suggested that I try their steamed chicken with chili sauce. I was a bit reluctant but I told myself, I only live once. The service was fast and I had my plate in minutes. The aroma is fantastic but they also put lots of chilies, you could cry. The first bite was all I needed to know that I have found another delicacy when visiting Chinese restaurants. It was well seasons and soft. I thought the chili would be a real pain but it complemented the dish so well. That is one dish you should try.

This is one of my favorite Chinese restaurants. From the food to the simple decor, it’s utterly pleasant to dine in this fine establishment. It’s located in Westlands along Riverside drive some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and taking a cab cost about kes 350. My partner and I always try to find the best restaurants in whatever cuisine and this place wowed us. The exterior has a lot of plants and ample space. I also like the sitting space. There is a terrace that can handle several people, then there’s a section of the interior that you can seat in twos and fours. If it’s for a more private engagement, there have separate rooms which a perfect for private dinner parties. I have had their tofu noodle ramen much time and it’s always left me wanting more. I would recommend Chengdu for all Chinese food lovers.

I heard about this spot from a friend who works at Sarit Centre. The restaurant is on the first floor of Sarit which is some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD. She swore on their garlic pork meal and chicken spring rolls. I haven’t gotten the opportunity to visit the restaurant but the other day, she brought me the garlic pork which costs about kes 900. First, I like their packaging. They have all these Chinese writing and some drawings on all sides. Then they know how to park so that the rice, pork, or spring roll (which comes as a complementary) don’t mix. So first I taste the chicken spring roll. It was crunchy on the outside and the chicken soft and moist. I dig into the pork and it’s so good. She was right. Their food is really amazing.

I have been to Yaya Centre so many times but it’s not till last year that I tried the Chinese Kitchen. Yaya Center has located some 11 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. When I did try them out, I was not impressed at all. They have a good space on the second floor at the food court. They have a lot of seats but at that time, there were hardly any clients. First, I had to wait for some time to place my order. The waiters were just talking in the corner and I’m sure they saw me. I tried their pork dumplings and I feel that they could have done better. It was dry plus the sauces didn’t help. I barely finished my disappointing food. I felt so wasted having to spend to pay for such food.

I had a meeting with a Chinese Contractor the other day and he was very insistent on dining here. The hotel is located some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD on a private compound and a cab cost about kes 400. Their gate was closed and we had to hoot several times to get the guard’s attention. The parking space is not that big but we found several guys there. Their decor is laid back. There’s a mixture of Chinese and Maasai decor. So this guy I’m with advice that I have the noodles with sweet pork. I liked their table cloths which have art on them. The food took some time but I didn’t mind since it gave me time to converse on some unresolved issues. The food was okay. Not among the best Chinese food I’ve had but good portions.

I was looking forward to having some tasty Chinese cuisine but I was very disappointed. The restaurant is located in the Junction Mall some 22 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 600. I usually dine at Junction Mall after church and the one time I decided to try something different, I regretted it. They have simple decor, nothing memorable. Although they have a private room that has karaoke plus some seat on the terrace with a great view. I tried the lentil soup and some pancake roll. First, I had to wait for 30 minutes to get my food. The portions were terrible considering their price. Barely enough to feel satisfied. I also didn’t like the taste of the pancake rolls plus the soup was blunt. I don’t think I’m going to trying that restaurant again.

This is a tiny restaurant that I happen to visit while doing some work on Karen and had some lovely pork. It’s located some 22 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 700. It was the only unique restaurant in that place so it’s only right that I tried them out. Their space is compact with a few tables. They have minimalistic Chinese decor and art on the walls. I was there at around noon and there was one other customer. I liked the service considering I didn’t know about the menu but the waitress took me through a couple of options before I settled on the braised pork with brown sauce. They took some time to prepare the meal but the flavor throughout my meal was explosive plus it was juicy. It cost about kes 900 and the servings were sizable. It’s a place I would recommend to Asian cuisine lovers.

This is a fairly new restaurant in Westlands. I think it was opened at the beginning of this year. I saw its hype on IG and got excited to try it out. It’s located on the ground floor of The Oval some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. I went there on a date and the experience was fifty fifty. The space is beautiful. The first thing that caught my eye is the graffiti on the entrance. It looks very appealing. They have some seating space outside. Mostly benches. I don’t know how comfortable that is. Inside they have some couches and seats with beautiful color. I hadn’t the slightest idea on what to eat but the waiter suggested the assorted Chaat. It’s an acquired taste for me. What surprised me what the bill had a 10% extra charge which they explained as the service tip. That’s thoughtful for the waiters but I think it should be optional.

The other day while I was coming from school, my partner calls me saying that she’s at this beautiful restaurant and we should have dinner there. It’s a small distance from the root I use so I just had to alight from the matatu and walk a small distance. Otherwise, it’s located some 20 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab costs about kes 450. I get there and immediately get drawn in by the decor. The wooden walls and floors contrast to the roof and tables which are matte black. They also have the most lovely lighting which I appreciated as it got dark and the setting becomes more intimate. I also noticed that they have a playing area for kids so I’m sure families are fond of this restaurant. I found her seated and had already placed the order, Sekela Chicken Tikka with Naan and chips masala. It was a good meal and it costs less than kes 2000 for both our dishes. You should visit.

Looking to try some different food in Nyali, we decided to visit Li’s Chinese Restaurant. We had to do some research and this was one of the highly-rated restaurants. It’s located on the first floor of Nyali Petrocity Plaza which was close to where we were staying plus not hard to find. We got there just before sunset and found a handful of people eating. The good thing is they have a lot of seating space. Their decor is decent. A lot of white on the walls and furniture. We hadn’t made a reservation but the management was courteous enough to offer us a private room because we were like 7 guys. I don’t know if it’s coz of our number but it took them some time to prepare our food. I had fried vegetable rice, some vegetable spring rolls, and vegetable curry. I did like the spring rolls but the rest were too spicy for me. They are not pricy which is a plus. It’s a great spot for a date or private parties. It’s worth visiting.

If you love Chinese food, you must visit this restaurant. It’s very popular with the locals and it’s because they have cravable noodles and their portions are enormous. It’s located some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. The first time I was there, I had the most bomb chicken noodles. They were so good that I had my partner and I go back barely a week later. Their decor is simple. Chinese design with wooden poles all around the restaurant. A few booths but the rest of the furniture includes rustic chairs and tables the same color as the wooden poles. I also like that they have an open kitchen that you can see your food being prepared. I have tried the beef and chicken noodles with a sauce of your liking but my preference lies with the chicken. The service is fast and that’s a plus considering the number of customers there at lunchtime. Such a great place.

This spot offers the authentic taste of Thailand. This was honestly my first taste of Thia food and I wonder why it took me that long. The restaurant is located some 15 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. I was meeting up with my cousin for lunch. He suggested I try something new from a restaurant he loves. The restaurant is small. Just a handful of tables, they are not big on decor but what they’ve missed on decor, they’ve compensated with the food. My cousin makes the order for me, some pad se ew which has chicken, a lot of greens and rice noodles. My first bite was a bit reluctant but the flavors hit me light lightning. The owner is also the chef and at some point came to ask how we liked the dish. How courteous. The food is affordable, ranging from kes 400 to kes 1000. If you want to try out Thai food, this is the place.

I had one of the most romantic dinner dates with my partner here. It’s located on the first floor of The Stanley Hotel along Kimathi St. We had made a reservation a while back and to our surprise, they have a strict dressing code (formal or semi-casual). We got there at around 6 pm and the security guard was very polite and showed us to the restaurant. I loved the decor from the moment I walked in. The wood-paneled walls, the warm lighting plus the white tables blend well. They even have a candle and some roses on our table. The waiter, I think his name is Wilson, helped us with the menu. From the start to the dessert, we chose the chicken-based dish, very delicious. We ended up talking for hours. Their prices are steep but they deliver on every aspect.

This is a very popular spot for many Nairobians. This is due to its location, the amazing decor, and their delicious food. It’s located some 10 minutes from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 250. It’s right next to the highway with a short driveway leading to the parking lot then the restaurant. One thing I like is how much detail they’ve put into their decor. The terrace has some couches and several seats. The view of the highway is soothing. You walk in, first is the bar then several tables. They have a blend of rustic, a lot of plants all with a white background. Their prices are a bit high but the food is worth every penny. I usually indulge in steak and some beer but you have to try their milkshakes. Out of this world. Nothing short of heavenly if you ask me.

This is one of the few Spanish restaurants that I’ve been to and enjoyed the food. They have two spots. One at the village market and the other at The Alchemist in Westlands. I went to the one at The Alchemist a while back. If you’ve been to The Alchemist you know that there’s a lot of open space. So they’ve set up a beautiful kitchen where the magic happens. It looks magnificent with the lighting and a few seats. Most of the dining happens on the terrace where there are several benches. It’s a good place for intimate dinners or a party. I am not one to try new dishes but my partner compelled me to try their Huevos Rotos Con Jamon which has fried potatoes, ham, and sunny side up eggs. It was freaking delicious. A must-try if you can.

This is an amazing spot located in Upper Hill. It’s a 15-minute drive from Nairobi CBD and a cab cost about kes 350. This is their second branch in Kenya with the first one being in Nakuru. I’m from Nakuru so I know how good of a restaurant it is. When I got wind of their new branch, I had to check it out. Turns out it’s just as amazing as the other. They have a wonderful space. Past the gate, there’s a lot of parking space with the restaurant being on the other end. I liked that they have a car wash and a barbershop in that space. The restaurant is beautiful. You go past a flight of stairs to tap my seats on the terrace. They have huge windows so the lighting is fantastic plus the decor is on point especially the lights. The service is great and the food is even better although their prices are a bit high. This is a must-visit if you ask me.

This is among the most popular hardware in Nakuru. It’s been around for some time and is still as reliable as ever. Their first store is located a walking distance from Nakuru CBD while the second one is some 10 minutes from the CBD. I have made a couple of purchases from their store and I can tell you that their prices are some of the best. Their arrangement is neat and you can see a wide range of their products while at the counter. There was this time I had gone to get nails. I was served by a pleasant old guy who explained the different types of nails and what they are suitable for. I was even able to negotiate on the price. On leaving the store, my brother tells me that that is Gaigai, the owner of the hardware. I was impressed by the service I got. I recommend this store for all your hardware needs.

This is one of the oldest shops in Nakuru. One time, my mum told me that they used to get cake from there even before I was born. They have continued to be consistent and to this day, you are bound to find a handful of people there getting one thing or another. It’s located within Nakuru CBD making it convenient. I frequent their spot events now and then when I want to satisfy my sweet tooth. The joint is small and doesn’t have a sitting area. It works on a takeaway basis. There are usually elderly guys at the counter. Both are the chefs, I think. They are welcoming and always down to chat for a few minutes while they pack your order. The snacks that they have prepared for the day are on display at the counter and the scent is heavenly. Their prices are fair so keep in mind, you might go to get one thing, you leave with a handful of snacks. An amazing place.

This is a really old hotel near lake Nakuru that has now become a household name for many. It’s located some 15 minutes from Nakuru CBD. A cab costs about kes 250. I have been there a couple of times with my folks. They like the place especially on Sunday afternoons when they make amazing nyama choma. The architecture is old, nothing fancy but it feels cozy. One thing about places that don’t look so good is that their food is usually very tasty. Compensation maybe? The sitting area is tiny and you are likely to miss a seat at peak hours. I like that the staff always ask how your day has been before handing over the menu. There is also a view of lake Nakuru and if you want, you can stroll to the fence of lake Nakuru national park.

This is a veteran hospital in Nakuru. It’s been there for as far as I can remember and is still the first choice for many who go to public hospitals. It’s located some 10 minutes from Nakuru CBD which makes it very convenient. It’s not at all fancy, an old building but well maintained. It’s also very compact as compared to other hospitals. Regardless, it is a level 4 hospital that accepts NHIF as payment. I am yet to hear a negative comment about it. A good number of the nurses are a bit elderly but there’s something about elderly nurses that radiates motherly care. They are one of the best when it comes to maternity which speaks volumes about the care the staff offer. I know of a good number of mums who've given birth here. It makes me think of the saying “old is gold.”

This is the perfect spot for a weekend gateway. It’s a cabin in the middle of nowhere with an amazing view. If you are looking to unwind and reset, this is the go-to place. It is located some 35 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab costs about kes 700 from the CBD. When you get to lord Egerton castle, it’s a small distance further. I went there a while back with my partner and the experience was one of a kind. The welcome was pleasant and we got a seat at the terrace next to the garden. The decor is rustic and I especially liked that they had such unique items for lights had flower pots. It’s very green and the air feels different, cleaner in a way. There were several people there, some playing games on the lawn, other riding horses while some sat on hammocks drinking beer. We were conversing and laughing till late into the night. I’m must go back one of these days.

This is a veteran club in the heart of Nakuru CBD. Anyone who goes clubbing in Nakuru has had to go to Sans Chic at least once. It’s located along with Kenyatta Avenue opposite family back. If you pass by that street at night, you can hear the music from a distance. It’s on the first floor and their entrance is somewhat hidden but you’ll be directed by the guys who have shops on the ground floor. I have been there for their karaoke nights which is usually on Thursdays and it was lit. They don’t do much for decor. Looks like your typical old club. Their prices are fair with beer going for kes 250. They had an amazing Dj from the moment I got in and when you want to sing, you put your name down and a waitress will bring a mic to your table. It’s a whole vibe.

This is a great budget hotel in the heart of Nakuru CBD. It’s located on a tall building opposite Tuskys supermarket. It’s hard to miss it. I was there some time back for a lunch meeting. The dining area is very private but a bit dark for my liking. The waiter was friendly but told us about their specials. To be honest, the food wasn’t that good though I enjoyed having a beer while having a view of Lake Nakuru. Their prices are fair even for the rooms going for about kes 4000 per night. The rooms are on higher floors and offer an even better view of the lake and menengai crater. They have internet in all the rooms as well as breakfast. If you are looking for a budget stay in the CBD, they offer a good bargain.

This is an amazing getaway spot in the outskirts of Nakuru. It offers a great experience for individuals, couples, or families looking to have a relaxed weekend away from the city. Also, their offers for bed and breakfast start from kes 5000 which is a steal considering the beautiful handy and crafted decor, the pools, and the view. I happen to be invited to a birthday party at the lodge and I don’t think you can pick a better budget location to hold a party as Ziwa lodge. It’s aged some 30 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab costs about kes 700. From the moment you get to the gate, you feel one with nature. Lush gardens manicured lawns and a view of the plain and Lake Nakuru. The bar was great, with the warm lighting and the bartender had the most pleasant laugh. They helped us with the cake and music. It was a great experience.

This is one of the most visited resorts in Nakuru. If you happen to go there on the weekends, you’ll find so many people there: families, couples all sorts of people having a good time. It’s located some 10 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab cost about kes 250. I have been there so many times I can say that I’m a regular. Although I prefer going during the weekdays when it’s not packed. What I like the most are the palm trees. They are a lot and huge. You don’t expect to find them in Nakuru, but there they are, next to the pools. They also have one of the biggest pools in Nakuru. When dining, I enjoy their mutton. It’s freaking delicious. They also offer camping but I'm yet to experience it. This is a must-visit when in Nakuru.

This is a favorite spot for travelers considering it's among the first restaurant you meet when you get to Nakuru. It’s right next to the highway which adds to its convenience. For the residents of Nakuru, it offers some of the best nyama choma around. It’s is located some 20 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab costs about kes 400. I have been there a couple of times with my folks on Sunday afternoon after church. It’s usually packed at that time but it’s because of their nyama choma. The prices are fair and they serve huge portions. The meat is soft and well marinated served with kachumbari and either ugali or fries. I find the staff very pleasant and they are keen to know how your food tastes or whether you need water. They are always moving around so you get helped almost immediately. It’s a great spot.

This is one of my favorite bars in Nakuru. It’s one of those places I have to go with my partner or the guys whenever I’m in Nakuru. It’s located some 15 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab cost about kes 300. You can’t spot it from the highway which is great for privacy but the view once you’re at the terrace or even the parking lot is spectacular. You get a view of the whole lake Nakuru and the national park. The sunset, while you’re at the terrace sipping on a cold beer, is unlike anything else. The decor is not fancy at all. The high chairs at the counter and some outside. Sidearm chars outside with tables. Then the pool table in the middle of the bar always has competitive duels. The darts game on the terrace is also a plus. I love this place.

This is one of the places I frequent when I want to chill alone and maybe catch a game. For me, it offers convenience because of its proximity to home. Even if I leave the bar at around 10 pm, I’ll be home in 5 minutes while on foot. Plus its location is in the leafy suburbs of Nakuru, Milimani so security is a non-issue. If you are coming from the CBD, it’s some 10 minutes drive and a cab costs about kes 200. Its compound comprises a manicured lawn with several trees where they put tables beneath for shade. The inside decor is laid back with one side having a restaurant set up for dining and across the room, there is a bar with dim lighting and a couple of TVs if you want to catch a game. Their prices are slightly on the higher end but not breaking the bank. The outside lawn is great for dates and even events can be held. Overall, it’s a great space.

This is another hidden gem in the outskirts of Nakuru that I enjoy going to. It’s located right after Greensteds International School some 30 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab cost about kes 700. I go there mostly with a couple of friends when we want to swim in a hotel that is not packed. It offers great privacy. Their security is also tight considering that it’s inside a gated community. You have to leave your details and state where you’re going. It’s not a huge place but space is well utilized. You have a lawn with a couple of tables. Then the interior decor is rustic with comfortable armchairs and a handsome bar. Their prices are a bit high end but you’re paying for privacy. They also have rooms but I have never been in that section. Behind the building, you have a beautiful pool and some tables on the terrace. It’s a great place to have parties too. I would recommend visiting this place.

This is a classy hotel within Nakuru CBD. Another plus is its affordability. Considering the effort they’ve put in their decor and the great food, their pricing is a steal. It’s a walking distance from Kenyatta Avenue. Due to its location, their parking is underground and it is more than sufficient for many cars. I have been there several times but the most memorable experience was this time they hosted Upgrade Poetry ( This event that I love, hosted monthly, brings artists from Kenya be it poets, spoken word artists, or musicians) The hotel hosted us in their restaurant which has a huge capacity. The decor is class with such comfortable chairs. The waiters waited on us pleasantly while also enjoying the show. Their prices are fair for dining and accommodation. Their suites above par and I highly recommend Legacy hotel for travelers.

This is one of the most chilled campgrounds I have been to. I promise you the utmost relaxation from the minute you step in. It’s located a few minutes past Greensteds International Schools, 35 minutes from Nakuru CBD, and a cab cost about kes 800. I was there with my folks for my mum’s birthday and I can’t get over how happy I was. We had booked a family tent which hosts 4 people. We paid about kes 7,400 for full board. We got there in the late afternoon and got a wonderful welcome from this guy called Sam. He even helped us get the bags to the tent. After settling, we got a tour around the facility. The decor is rustic and I especially liked the bed they have outside under the shed and the washroom is made fully out of rustic bamboo. We had dinner while at the bonfire and talked till late at night. Then next morning they had breakfast ready on the lawn and the view of the sunrise was beautiful. They have offers of biking and hiking plus tours into soysambu conservancy. They also have a small pool but it came in hand when the day got hot. It was an amazing experience.

This is a fairly new hotel in the outskirts of Nakuru but has quickly become a favorite for many. It’s located some 20 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab cost about kes 550. You can’t miss it considering it’s close to the highway plus it’s the only towering building in its vicinity. I have been there a couple of times following invites from a friend of mine. There’s a huge pool with several tables on its side so you can swim and dine at the same time. There's also a bouncing castle which kids love. The restaurant is on the top floor with a spectacular view. There’s also a club below the restaurant which I’ve had such lit times in. Their suites are top-notch for you travelers even though their prices are slightly high. Value for money if you ask me.

This hotel was opened not too long ago and it has made its mark as a favorite mainly for business meetings and conferences. It’s right at the CBD and a walking distance from Kenyatta Avenue. I was there for a work conference and I can attest to their quality amenities and staff. There is parking outside the building and then some in the basement. The reception is beautiful, the lighting plus the marble finishing on almost all surfaces. We walked past the restaurant which has beautiful wooden finishing on the tables and chairs. The conference room was huge with a whiteboard and a good sound system. during the meeting, we got to sample some snacks. I enjoyed the samosas a little too much. After the meeting, a friend and I decided to pass by the bar and that was undoubtedly their best feature. They have such comfortable seats, different from the restaurants. Their prices were fair hotel-wise and the music relaxed. This is the place to be while in Nakuru.

This is a fairly new hotel in Nakuru CBD. I hadn’t been in Nakuru for a while so this one time I’d driven to my local and I come across this huge new building with a huge name board. I couldn’t resist checking it out. I parked right in front of it and proceeded inside. They don’t have alternative parking other than the street parking but the guards assured me that the car is safe. I walk in and I’m blown away by how it oozes luxury. A golden sculpture that blends well with the warm lighting and marble finishing for the reception. The receptionist had such a wide smile that I couldn’t help reciprocated. She asks me what service I’d like and I ask for directions to the bar. While heading to the bar, I keep glancing at everything. The lounge couches looked so comfortable. The bar was simply an Extention of the luxurious decor. Comfortable seats with a view of Nakuru through the huge glass windows. Their prices were fair which came as a shock considering the decor. It’s a place I’ll go back to for sure.

Recently I was looking for a place for team building for a church group. I happen to have this friend who works in Tumaini who recommended that I use their place. I hadn’t even had of it so I went scouting before deciding. It’s somewhat hidden, very far from the highway, maybe that’s why I hadn’t heard of it. It’s some 20 minutes from Nakuru CBD and I paid kes 550 for a cab. I wish I hadn’t alighted at the gate because of the distance from there to the hotel. While walking I saw how big their field is, that’s a good sign for team building. At the reception, the receptionist was welcoming and helped call my friend who took me for a tour. Their decor is not all that but they have a huge dining area. The pool is what surprised me. It’s huge. They also had a huge conference room which was necessary for the team I was bringing. Their rates on food and activities were also fair so I ended up having the team building there and it was great.

This is a beautiful budget hotel on the outskirts of Nakuru. I hadn’t been there before so this one Saturday my dad asks me to accompany him to that hotel to meet his friend, I was eager to go. It’s is located some 20 minutes from Nakuru CBD and a cab cost about kes 500. It’s right next to the highway making it very accessible. We got there at around 4 pm and the place was packed. Very few parking spots left and keep in mind they have a huge parking space. That speaks volumes about its popularity. Their restaurant is great. A modern look with a good blend of orange seats and brown tables. There was so much going on which is not something I look for in restaurants. The service, however, was good. Very quick to get us the menu and the food was there in no time. I tried their fillet which was above average. It’s not very private but I noticed that older guys were the majority. The prices are fair for food. They have a bar which I didn’t get a chance to see. Let’s see, maybe I’ll go back soon.

This is a small restaurant within Nakuru CBD that has been there for as long as I can remember. Its location is good. A serene road, quiet with a lot of trees. Their restaurant has a view of Lake Nakuru. For me, that is the best feature for the hotel and maybe their prices being very budget-friendly. The compound is mainly concrete with a few plants here and there. The decor is plain nothing memorable. It’s one of those places you go to have lunch when you’re at work because of its location. The times I’ve been there, the service has been slow which sucks. I don’t get how service can be slow even when their place is not packed. I can only imagine how it gets when packed. The food varies from day to day which says a lot for consistency. I wouldn't recommend dining here.
