Boho Eatery Karen Nairobi: Bowls, Plant-Based Choices and Menu Prices
Boho Eatery in Karen gives a Nairobi meal a particularly strong vegetable-led identity. Its menu combines bowls, tacos, dosa, mezze and familiar restaurant dishes with a focus on whole foods and locally available ingredients. Meat and fish appear alongside substantial plant-based options, making it useful when a group wants one table with several different ways to eat. The setting and menu work especially well for a leisurely lunch or a planned dinner with friends.
Boho's Karen location and opening pattern
The official contact information gives 114 Ndovu Road, Hardy, Karen, Nairobi. Enquiries and bookings are listed on +254 727 502416, with info@boho.co.ke as the email. Use the Eatery name when enquiring, because the operator's website also presents other Boho food concepts.
The published schedule gives Tuesday and Wednesday from 11:30 am to 5:30 pm, Thursday and Friday from 11:30 am to 10 pm, Saturday from 9 am to 10 pm and Sunday from 9 am to 5:30 pm. The later Thursday-to-Saturday service creates a different opportunity from the shorter daytime sittings earlier in the week.
Choose the meal around that pattern. A Saturday lunch can be part of a longer Karen outing, while a Thursday dinner has a more specific evening focus. For a group, give everyone the same venue name and arrival time before working out which dishes to share.
A whole-food approach with a broad menu
Boho describes an emphasis on vegan and vegetarian cooking and says much of its menu is plant-based. Its own account also discusses local seasonal produce, house-made breads and sauces, and alternatives to dairy milk. Those are features of the operator's approach rather than a reason to assume every dish has the same ingredients.
The prices below come from the live official Eatery menu checked on 25 October 2026. The page does not print an edition date, so the date here records the source check. The menu uses Kenyan shillings and identifies different dietary characteristics alongside the dish descriptions.
For a mixed group, begin by deciding whether each person wants an individual bowl or whether the table will share starters and mains. The menu makes both approaches possible. A vegetable-led meal can be substantial without needing a meat substitute in every course.
Small plates with contrasting textures
Halloumi saganaki is KSh 950, served with a fruit-and-herb salsa. Fuchka is KSh 750, beetroot tartar KSh 650 and oyster-mushroom ceviche KSh 750. Those dishes offer different bases and textures, from cheese to crisp fritters, beets and marinated mushrooms.
Tostones are KSh 750, with plantain and guacamole, while garlic-butter artichokes are KSh 900. Burrata is KSh 950. A table can use those options to create contrast before a larger main rather than simply ordering several fried starters in succession.
For diners seeking meat or fish, chicken cigars are KSh 950, salmon-and-pea cakes KSh 850 and tuna tostada KSh 950. Beef tataki is KSh 950. Choose the protein and preparation deliberately, especially when someone at the table wants to keep their shared food plant-based.
Bowls as a complete meal
The wellness and nourish bowls are each KSh 1,400. Their descriptions combine grains, vegetables and different toppings, with dressings helping define the flavour. The nourish bowl offers falafel or halloumi, so the topping choice is part of the order rather than a minor detail.
Several other bowls are KSh 1,600, including poké, kimchi, Sonora, Medi, katsu and noodle options. Their names cover quite different ingredients. Poké offers a fish or mushroom route, Sonora has a choice of chicken, steak or cauliflower, and the noodle bowl offers several proteins over rice vermicelli.
Read the actual combination instead of choosing a bowl only because its name sounds familiar. A diner who wants a lighter fish preparation and someone who prefers warm rice with vegetables can both find a different route through the section. The price alone does not explain the complete meal.
Mezze, tacos and a sharing order
Mediterranean mezze is KSh 2,600, combining dips, falafel, halloumi, vegetables, olives and breads in its description. It provides an explicit mixed plate for a table interested in several flavours. Choose the components with the restaurant if a particular guest needs a fully plant-based version.
Black-bean tacos and tempeh-and-mushroom tacos are each KSh 1,400. Chicken tacos and fish tacos are KSh 1,600. This makes the taco section useful for a mixed group: similar meal structures can still have different fillings and dietary characteristics.
A KSh 2,600 mezze order with KSh 1,400 black-bean tacos and KSh 1,600 fish tacos totals KSh 5,600 before drinks or dessert. That is an assembled menu comparison rather than a package or a claim about how many diners it will feed. Adjust the quantity to the table's appetite.
Dosa and familiar restaurant choices
Paper dosa is KSh 800, while garlic-cheese dosa and masala dosa are KSh 1,200. The garlic-cheese masala version is KSh 1,400. The menu describes chutney and sambar with these dishes, giving them a distinct place beside the bowls and tacos.
For a more familiar main, the pulled-beef burger is KSh 1,600 and crispy-mushroom burger KSh 1,200. Falafel platter is KSh 1,400, zucchini noodles KSh 1,200 and raw vegan lasagne KSh 1,400. Those alternatives show that the vegetable focus extends beyond simply ordering salad.
Someone choosing a burger may want a different first course from a diner planning dosa. Use the small plates to add variety, rather than automatically building the same meal for everyone. That approach is particularly helpful at a table with both meat-eating and vegetarian friends.
Dessert, coffee and a meal budget
Affogato and coconut chia pudding are each KSh 500. Boho Mess is KSh 750, chocolate mousse KSh 900 and vegan cheesecake KSh 900. Gelato is listed at KSh 300. These offer different endings, from coffee and ice cream to a fuller dessert.
Espresso is KSh 200, cappuccino and latte KSh 350, and matcha latte KSh 400. A KSh 1,400 wellness bowl, KSh 500 chia pudding and KSh 350 cappuccino total KSh 2,250. Two KSh 1,600 bowls with two KSh 350 coffees total KSh 3,900 before any shared starter or dessert.
For a birthday lunch, decide whether the invitation is a full meal or simply coffee and something sweet.
A Karen outing and a useful accessory
A simple outfit in light, comfortable fabrics works for a meal that may continue into other Karen plans. A compact shoulder bag keeps essentials together, while earrings or a textured clutch can give a dinner look a more defined finish.
Explore Moyo Lane's catalogue for bags and jewellery that work across future outings as well as this meal. When the accessory is a gift, choose something that reflects the recipient's usual wardrobe, then let the lunch or dinner provide the setting for giving it.
