    We ate here three times during our stay in Naivasha. For two people we always paid around 600-800 KES. Lots of vegan options! Very friedly staff that gave us lots of recommendations. On a sunday the place is packed. There are some parking spaces in front of the restaurant altough not too many.

    Very nice place, delicious food (also vegetarian options) and kind service. Would definitely recommend, also for foreign tourists.

    I visited Mothers Kitchen in Naivasha with my boyfriend today, and we were absolutely blown away. The waitress was incredibly kind and guided us through the entire menu. Since we don’t eat meat, she put together two vegetarian dishes for us — and they were both unbelievably delicious! She also recommended some drinks that were just perfect. We will definitely be happy to come back anytime, and we highly recommend this place to everyone. Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

    We came for breakfast and asked if they could prepare us a local meal Kenyans eat for breakfast. They even gave us a fried egg on top. It was so good, we even ordered lunch to go (Mukimo with Beef), which was also very delicious. 10/10 can recommend this place.
