Best Bhajia in Nairobi, KE

This is the historical epicenter of the 'Maru' style bhajia in Kenya. For over 27 years, they have perfected the art of paper-thin potato slices coated in a secret gram flour blend that remains undefeated in crispiness and nostalgia.

While famous for their chicken, Hashmi's bhajias are elevated by their signature 'Poussin' sauce—a buttery, tangy, and spicy glaze that transforms standard potato fritters into a gourmet experience.

Often cited by locals as the superior alternative to Maru's for those who prefer a cleaner environment and even crunchier potatoes. Their consistency over decades has earned them a cult following.

Marita's is the gold standard for value. Their portions are massive, and the bhajias are infused with a heavy hand of aromatic herbs like dhania (coriander) and ginger, giving them a distinctively fresh profile.
