Both links ask Google Maps to centre on “Habibi Haven Koinange Street Nairobi” rather than on a coordinate we invented. The pin you see is theirs.

The hours, all three of them

  • Used 06:30–23:00 Google Maps listing — what a diner checks
  • Elsewhere 06:00–23:00 menu.or.ke live page
  • Elsewhere 09:00–17:00 Uber Eats store, flagged Currently unavailable

The Uber Eats window is a delivery window, and that store is flagged currently unavailable, which is why it is not the site's answer. Asked and unanswered: whether the kitchen really starts at half six. It is in docs/OPEN-QUESTIONS.md as a question for the restaurant.

The place

What the photographs show

Venue photography in hand is real but small (nine of ten frames 300×225), so full-bleed imagery still needs a shoot or the client's originals. That is why these frames sit at their real size instead of being stretched across a viewport — a stock shot of a different restaurant would be a lie about a specific place.

Shown at its real depth. Three reviews against five hundred and forty-one is a fact about the panel, not a defect to average away.

TripAdvisor listing

Two panels at different depths, shown side by side and never averaged. The site quotes the numbers as they are, including the uncomfortable one.

Dinner

Open

Goat mandy on the table, third cup of chai after it.

Closes in 1 h 1 min

The dial runs the whole day; 06:30–23:00 are the hours of record, and the chip says which side of them you are on. It changes the light in the room, not the menu, and it books nothing.

Where else they are

Their own words: “Come and enjoy our signature dish today — goat mandy.” — from @habibi.haven, quoted rather than improved.

Welcome to Habibi Haven, where every visit feels like coming home. — captions from the restaurant’s own Instagram Come and enjoy our signature dish today — goat mandy. Sip, savor, and stay a while. Every drink is a vibe. Peach, please! This one is irresistible. Which is your favorite drink? A Kenyan classic that never disappoints. Warning: dangerously delicious.
