About Thyme is a garden-style restaurant in Westlands/Kitisuru (Eldama Ravine Road, off Peponi Road) that feels intentionally removed from the city’s pace—lush greenery, intimate seating, and a calm atmosphere that works equally well for unhurried lunches and romantic, low-noise dinners. It’s the kind of place you choose when you want conversation to be easy, the setting to feel special, and the experience to last longer than a quick meal. The menu is built for variety without losing focus: an eclectic, international selection that moves across regions (their own description highlights a journey through Africa, Asia, and Europe), with beautifully presented dishes and options that cater to different preferences—including a strong vegetarian range. If you’re deciding what to prioritize, their desserts are repeatedly singled out as a standout, and the drinks list is positioned as a full experience on its own, with cocktail specials created by their mixologist. For planning, About Thyme takes reservations (use their booking links/contacts), and it’s worth booking ahead for evenings and weekends—especially if you want the best garden seating. Multiple reputable listings align on their typical service pattern: Monday closed; Tue–Fri lunch to late evening; weekend brunch hours (often starting around 10:00am), with Sunday ending earlier than Friday/Saturday—so confirm the exact hours on the day you’re going if timing is tight.
