Thai Chi Restaurant — Restaurant in Nairobi

Decided to try the new location in Lavington for a birthday dinner. Their original location was an old favourite many years ago, so this seemed like a good idea. First impressions were positive; the place was full. The rest went downhill rapidly from there. It took forever to get a server's attention and even get a drinks order in.
