The Souk Karen — Local services in Nairobi

This was my first time at the souk and first impress was that the place looks really nice the hay table and pallets chairs with beatiful maasai leso covers and cushion. When we arrived our waiter was at hand to serve us with a water bowl for our dog. As a pet owner finding restaurants that allow pets especially dogs is a relief so for me this was a plus.
