Al-Yusra Restaurant

Al-Yusra Restaurant is a halal dining venue on Banda Street in Nairobi City, Kenya, positioned next to Jamia Mosque. The restaurant’s menu brings together several food traditions, with choices for breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as Arabian specialities, Swahili and traditional dishes, and familiar international-style meals.

Breakfast covers both sweet and savoury plates, including pancakes, French toast, eggs, omelettes, sausages, home fries, toast and traditional morning options such as porridge, cereals and mbaazi cooked with coconut. The broader menu includes grilled chicken, fish, salads, burgers and pastries, giving the restaurant a wide range of choices across the day.

Arabian cooking forms an important part of the offering. Shawarma is served in wraps, with rice, or as a platter, while hummus and moutabal provide options for a lighter meal or shared table. Mandi, biryani and Afghani pulau add rice-based specialities, with chicken, mutton, fish and other halal preparations appearing across the menu.

Swahili and coastal influences are also represented through dishes such as coconut-based pigeon peas, coconut fish curry, fish with ugali and other traditional combinations. The menu includes meat, poultry and seafood alongside salads and vegetable-based accompaniments, allowing different dining preferences to be considered within the same restaurant.

The setting suits diners looking for a straightforward meal near one of Nairobi’s central religious and commercial landmarks. The range makes Al-Yusra suitable for an early breakfast, a midday meal, an evening dinner or a shared order built around Arabian and traditional dishes. Office workers, mosque visitors, local residents and visitors seeking halal food in central Nairobi can all find relevant options on the menu.

Al-Yusra also provides office and home delivery, extending the restaurant’s menu beyond the Banda Street dining room. The branch is one of several Al-Yusra locations, so the Banda Street address and branch contact are useful when arranging collection, delivery or other practical details.
