What customers say?

“ We visited About Thyme from around 3pm on Friday. When we arrived, the atmosphere was very relaxed and comfortable, and we were able to enjoy conversation without any noise or pressure. The food was good. Stand-out dishes were the teriyaki duck, the moussaka and the ribs. The pepper steak, however, was only average. It was not particularly appetising visually and could benefit from better presentation and concept. The vegetables added little to the dish and felt more like an afterthought. A few items on the menu were also unavailable at the time. Portion sizes were good, though slightly on the lighter side for those looking for a more filling meal. The daytime set-up of the restaurant is nice. There is a garden area with grass, although it is designated as a smoking area rather than a seating space. The seating is in the wooden deck area, bar area and lower deck (I’ll include a photo). In the evening, when the lights come on, the ambience improves significantly and feels much more vibrant and atmospheric. Our main challenge was the service. Our waiter was not very attentive and, as the evening became busier, it became increasingly difficult to get assistance. We regularly had to walk towards the bar or kitchen to look for a waiter. Having to repeatedly ask for our server was frustrating. A better system for managing tables was needed. During peak time, it was especially hard to locate our waiter. By the evening, the restaurant became very busy and quite loud, we could tell it is a popular Friday night spot. It is ideal for after-work drinks or a casual night out with friends. However, it is not particularly suitable for a quiet, romantic dinner or a family birthday celebration as you cant hear each other very well. The price point for the food, compared to other restaurants in Nairobi, is okay. Overall, we still had a good time and I would return – especially to try their well-known sticky date pudding. ”

“ Had a girls dinner date and everything was just lovely. Great welcome from the reception and we were seated well. Absolutely delicious meals (I had lemon grilled chicken) and their wine list was superb. The grounds are beautiful and to top it all was the commendable service we got from Dola and Jeff. They absolutely spoilt us. ”

“ It was a great experience. My friend and I drove by and decided to pop by for drinks after dinner. Arriving there was this hidden gem tropical location. With a pianist giving us a beautiful rhythm and classic jams. Lovely cocktails made by Katanga with his nice personality. We did not have dinner in this beautiful location but definitely will do when next I visit as it was my last day visiting Nairobi. But overall a lovely place to visit. We will be back again. ”
