About Thyme is a well-regarded Nairobi restaurant in a converted colonial-era house in Lavington, with an extensive garden for outdoor dining. The menu moves between European and East African influences — grilled fish, pasta, wood-fired pizzas, and Kenyan staples — and changes regularly. Sunday brunch here is a weekly ritual for many Nairobi residents.
The atmosphere is relaxed and slightly upscale without being pretentious. Tables fill up at weekends; booking ahead for Sunday lunch is advisable. The house and garden setting make it feel like a world removed from the traffic of nearby Ngong Road.
