    I was randomly searching for a restaurant to have dinner near where I was staying and The Lawns came up. And they did not disappoint. 1st of all, shout out to Anne, our waitress. She was so warm and bubbly, and made our experience a whole lot better with the recommendations and banter. What she recommended for us to eat was so good! The butter chicken, jeera chicken, butter and garlic naan and vegetable rice got us so full! The portions are really good for their prices. I wish I took pictures, but we were too hungry 😂. This is a place I am definitely visiting next time I am in Nakuru. Thank you, Anne and Lawns.

    ...a pleasant surprise to find a nice little Indian restaurant in Nakuru. Has something for everyone. There is a lovely play area for the kids, beautiful views for the adults. Plenty of secure parking. No wait to be seated. There is seating outside, upstairs on the balcony or inside. The staff is knowledgeable and assisted with selecting of meal. The food was absolutely delicious. I would definitely be back.
