About

Nyumbani in Lavington serves Kenyan home cooking that tastes like someone's grandmother made it — proper mukimo, tender nyama choma, and sukuma wiki that isn't swimming in oil. The portions are generous, the prices are fair, and the vibe is casual and welcoming. Come for lunch when you're craving authentic Kenyan food without the tourist markup.
