Customer Reviews
Lovely place surrounded by greenery, perfect for a relaxing meal. The kids' play area with slides is a nice addition. The food was great, especially the dim sums. Thr chef was kind enough to prepare dishes for us without egg. Service was a bit slow, probably because it was busy but worth waiting. The tiramisu was too good. It’d be nice to have more eggless dessert options.
Great food, great ambience & very fast service. Our waiter, Daniel was super sweet, professional & patient. God bless that young waiter. I would 100% recommend Zen Garden to anyone.
We tried several quality restaurants in Nairobi this Christmas and during previous New Year breaks in Kenya; none exceeded our expectations. However, that was not the case after visiting ZEN GARDEN this last Monday; the food and the service were superb. The Asian-style menu is vast, comprehensive and reasonably priced, ensuring a host of untried delicacies awaiting a next visit. Eating out in one of the garden seating areas amidst the tranquil surroundings just added to the location's ambience, creating a sense of peace and relaxation. Our waiter, Antony, added the all-essential friendly touch to a magical dining experience.
