Humans need to eat, too. For lunch, try one of Nairobi’s choice alfresco spots, the Talisman, at 320 Ngong Road, just beyond the Karen roundabout (254-20-883213). Admire the Talisman’s quintessential Kenyan style — its half-indoor, half-outdoor architecture, with a colorful bar, low couches and lush gardens. The menu is a tasty jumble of curries, stir fries, pastas and meats, with specials every day. Don’t miss the feta and coriander samosas as an appetizer (500 shillings). Lunch, including a drink, runs about 1,400 shillings.
