My three months in Kenya made me explore the country more. I was mostly cooking my own food and sometimes eating out. Here, I will share some of my favourite vegetarian restaurants in Nairobi. Most of them don’t some Vegetarian food only but they will have a good range of vegetarian meal.
Kenya is one of the easiest countries to live in as a vegan because of the availability of farmers fresh fruits and vegetables in every market. You can never go hungry or struggle finding food as a vegan anywhere in Kenya. There’s the option of grabbing a roasted corn by the road, a plate of nicely chopped fruits from a Kibanda(Kiosk), or just pick some veggies and make your own meal.
In case you’re the eat out kind of Vegan or Vegetarian, here is a list of restaurants that will definitely understand what you need.

Urban Eatery is in PWC Tower, Delta Corner
