Haru Restaurant: A Celebration of Authentic Japanese Cuisine


Established in October 2009, Haru Restaurant has become a culinary landmark in Karen, renowned for its authentic Japanese cuisine, inviting ambiance, and exceptional hospitality. Inspired by the essence of Haru—the beauty of spring and new beginnings—we strive to create unforgettable dining experiences for our guests.


Following our recent renovation, Haru now offers an enhanced dining space, including a brand-new VIP room designed for intimate gatherings and exclusive experiences.

Under the leadership of our esteemed owner and chef, Mr. Park, who brings nearly two decades of hospitality expertise, Haru continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. Whether you're savoring expertly prepared sushi, delicate sashimi, or a comforting bowl of ramen, every meal at Haru is a moment to be cherished.


To complement our cuisine, we offer a diverse selection of premium Japanese sake, carefully curated to enhance your dining experience. From crisp and refreshing to rich and full-bodied varieties, our sake collection invites you to explore the depth and elegance of Japan’s traditional brew.


Join us and experience the essence of Japan in the heart of Karen—where tradition meets innovation, and every visit is a celebration of flavor and hospitality.



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.
