What you need to know:

  • Kenyans cannot have enough of Asian cuisine as Thai Chi brand opens a new outlet
  • The new stand-alone restaurant is located in the quiet Lavington area, off James Gichuru Road at 102 Manyani East Road

The palette of Kenyan food lovers is a diverse one that continues to evolve as specialty restaurants offering specific cuisines from all over the world. Chef Rahul Rana, the sous chef at a new Thai restaurant opening in Nairobi, agrees that the curiosity of Kenyans continues to grow and crave new culinary experiences, especially for Thai food.

“People travel a lot, especially to Asia and Europe, and love to explore which is why I feel Nairobi is becoming a hub of food from different cuisines. If you are observant, you can see that there are a lot of new restaurants popping up which brings healthy competition,” he says.
