Asmara Restaurant - Lavington is an Eritrean, Ethiopian and Continental restaurant on Othaya Road in Lavington, Nairobi, Kenya. The branch combines traditional Horn of Africa cooking with a calm dining-room setting, creating a restaurant suited to breakfast meetings, casual lunches and intimate dinners.

The menu brings together Eritrean clay-pot cooking, hand-poured injera and familiar Continental choices. The food style balances traditional preparation with a broad format that works for diners looking for hearty regional cooking as well as those who prefer lighter or more familiar plates. Meat-focused meals and vegan options are part of the restaurant’s offering, giving the menu room for different dietary preferences.

The interior is described as cozy and Afro-contemporary, with a comfortable atmosphere rather than a loud or highly informal one. That setting supports the restaurant’s steady, business-friendly character while remaining appropriate for relaxed meals. It can suit a morning meeting, a daytime meal near Lavington or a quieter evening gathering.

Asmara Lavington forms part of a Nairobi restaurant group with branches in Karen, Pangani and Westlands, while retaining the brand’s focus on Eritrean food, Continental dining and consistent service.
