About

Indoor mall with stores for clothing, cosmetics & electronics, plus a supermarket & a food court.

The layout is confusing at first—alleyways and floors that don't make sense—but once you learn it, you'll find Istanbul Restaurant for Turkish food, Artcaffé and Java for coffee, and Chandarana Foodplus for groceries. It's not the biggest mall in Nairobi, but it's one of the most reliable for errands and a quick bite.
