Despite the challenges of last year, the Haru Japanese Restaurant in Nairobi still managed to clinch the Tripadvisor's Travellers’ Choice Award 2020, in the category of "Top 10 per cent of restaurants worldwide."

I was excited to dine there once again after a long hiatus. When we arrived, the staff were all in masks, temperature checks were carried out at the entrance and I noticed several hand sanitiser stations around the restaurant. We chose a table at the terrace.
