Pop’s Diner, located in Mwanzi Market, Westlands is possibly Nairobi’s first American style diner and as someone who spent a good chunk of her life on that side of the world, I was very excited to have a classic diner experience right here without incurring a flight cost. They really hit the mark on the decor, working in different elements of classic America like the juke boxes (wish they had one that actually works!

Tokyo is a Japanese restaurant located in the Lavington area. It’s such a nice spacious place with both indoor and outdoor seating surrounded by lush greenery. Came here for dinner on a weekday so it wasn’t super packed which is usually what I prefer. I found it odd that they had so many signs up about their last order times, like around each corner of the restaurant You can never say you didn’t know that they take their last orders at 9pm and close at 10pm lol.

Last but not least on the #watamueats series is Seafood Cafe. This roadside cafe is quite easy to find, it’s right by the main Watamu sign on Gede Road. It’s a simple restaurant with very little thought to decor and ambience though I did appreciate the graffiti murals on the walls. The place gives very much kibanda-esque vibes which I was happy because that means the food will be excellent
