Our story

An outdoor garden restaurant built for Meru families

Ayana Gardens is a garden restaurant, bar and event venue in Mikinduri, Meru County. We grill goat and beef nyama choma over open flame, mix cocktails to order, and keep a safe playground running for the kids — all under the trees, all day, every day.

What we're known for

Slow-roasted nyama choma is our signature, but regulars come back for the wet fry, the mixed grill platters, chips and ugali, and a cocktail list built around passion fruit, ginger and lime. Everything is cooked to order in an open kitchen.

More than a restaurant

The same garden hosts weddings, birthdays, graduations, baby showers and corporate events. We handle catering from 20 to 500 guests, hire out tents of every size, and run bar and waitstaff service at our venue or yours anywhere around Meru.

Family first

An enclosed kids playground with a bouncy castle, a dedicated kids' menu, and ample free secure parking make Ayana Gardens one of the easiest places in Meru to bring the whole family — including the grandparents.
