The Veranda Cafe - كافيه البرندة
Ranked in Best Cafes & Bakeries in Kilimani
About
Most welcoming, affordable, delicious place for tea or whole meals with the Sudanese restaurant next door. A bit hidden but once you find it, you'll enjoy it. Great place for Sudanese and Middle Eastern cuisine at very cheap prices. Nice for families and friends — no alcohol served, board games available.

Great place to try Sudanese and Middle Eastern cuisine, it’s also very cheap... nice for families and friends especially because they don’t serve alcohol and have board games
