A few months ago, I chanced upon the page of a new Vietnamese cafe called Ôkia and made a mental note to check it out. A few days after that I saw that the proprietor of Măm Măm, the Vietnamese spot in Westlands, was also the proprietor of Ôkia Cafe and made an even more solid note to check it out because she had done such a great job at măm măm already.

We finally have an authentic Vietnamese restaurant in Nairobi! Măm Măm is located at the Mwanzi Market in Westlands and is the first Vietnamese restaurant to open shop in Nairobi. I was very excited to try it out because they focus on Vietnamese street food and one thing about Asian cuisine, it’s gonna slap😋 The restaurant itself is such vibes already from the thematic red flowing through the place to the colourful seats and decor, it transports you to a place of fun, food and vibes.
