What an experience

This cosy, sweetly decorated, super delicious Japanese restaurant is now my favourite place to eat in Nairobi. We have been there three times and we are never disappointed. The food is AMAZING! The service is great and the atmosphere is so comfortable. We LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Haru! 🥂🥂🥂🥂🥂

Incredible restaurant. Been going here for 7 or 8 years and they keep the standard of everything so high. Affordable, friendly and helpful staff, excellent food, lots of variety, incredible peanut sauce salad free before meal.

Real Japanese Goodness!

Delicious, filling meal with a wide range of flavours, cooked in front of us - 4 adults and 2 older children. Each of us made a sea food and/or meat choice from the set Teppanyaki menu. It was entertaining and interesting to watch the skilled chef Alex at work. We enjoyed our 2.5h experience and will go again.
