    The service was excellent, and while the wait time was a bit longer than expected, it was certainly worth it. Every dish was delicious......so much so that we took some to go, and the packaging was impressive. A special mention goes to our waiter, Felix, who was exceptionally helpful in guiding our selections and even took a few photos for us. Overall, it was a wonderful dining experience. I’d recommend making reservations, as the restaurant fills up quickly.

    I’ve been frequenting Haru for several years now, and they never disappoint. The quality of the food and the kindness of the staff have remained remarkably consistent over time. The fish is always fresh, and they have some of the most creative and delicious flavor pairings for their sushi. It’s easily some of the best in the Nairobi. I hope they never change!
