The Best Vegetarian Restaurants in Nairobi

 

View

It doesn’t take long to realize that most Kenyans love their nyama (meat). With Nairobi’s rapidly evolving foodie scene and diverse cultural influences, however, vegetarians should not worry about finding a variety of delicious places to eat. Here are some especially great restaurants for veggie lovers.

Nook Café

Cafe, Fusion, Vegetarian, Vegan

Nook is a sweet little hole-in-the-wall restaurant, creating daily menus based on different themes and occasionally hosting special dinner events. It is run by Nicole McMahon of Pop-Up Nairobi, an organization that runs hospitality skills training and employment programs for youth and hosts an array of food-related fundraisers. Because Nicole is vegetarian, the menu always includes creative and delicious vegetarian options, along with meat versions of main dishes. Think Vietnamese, Mexican, or Malaysian, all of which can be challenging cravings to satisfy in the city. Ingredients are organic and homegrown whenever possible and everything is delicious.
