On a crisp Saturday morning, I decided to explore a delightful spot tucked away in the conservation forest of Karen – Dari Restaurant, located at Dari Business Park. Surrounded by lush greenery, the ambiance instantly set a peaceful tone for the day, making it a haven for those looking to escape the city's hustle and bustle.
Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed by a friendly waiter named John, who was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. His recommendations made my decision-making a breeze. After some deliberation, I opted for the signature Dari Salad, which was priced at KSh 850, and the hearty grilled chicken, valued at KSh 1,200. The aromas wafting from the kitchen were incredible, heightening my anticipation.
As I settled into my beautifully set table outside, a gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, making it a perfect setting to enjoy a meal amidst the chirping of birds. The Dari Salad was a vibrant mix of fresh greens, avocados, and cherry tomatoes, all drizzled with their homemade dressing. Every bite was crisp and refreshing, a wonderful introduction to my dining experience! It’s no wonder that many reviews highlight the high-quality, fresh ingredients used at Dari Restaurant.
The grilled chicken was equally impressive. Grilled to perfection, it was juicy and tender, complemented by sides of seasoned vegetables and a generous scoop of creamy mashed potatoes. The portion size was satisfying, ensuring I left with my appetite more than fulfilled. The pricing was reasonable considering the high quality of the meal.
Throughout the meal, John stayed close by, ensuring I had everything I needed without being intrusive. His friendly demeanor added to the overall experience, and it was evident from other patrons' chatter that many felt the same way about the service.
As I finished my meal, I couldn’t resist trying their dessert, a decadent chocolate torte. Priced at KSh 600, it was rich and indulgent, the perfect way to round off my culinary adventure. I savored every bite under the warm sunlight, basking in the tranquil surroundings of the conservation forest.
Dari Restaurant truly stands out for its exquisite cuisine and exceptional service. The combination of the serene environment and the quality of the food makes every visit worthwhile. I couldn't help but reflect on how lucky I was to discover such a gem in Karen, particularly during a lovely day out in nature.

Not only will you enjoy a delectable meal, but you'll also experience top-notch service, thanks to dedicated staff like John.
