Could this be Africa’s Slumdog Millionaire? Sure, it lacks the Oscar-winner’s big-name Director and commensurate budget, but Nairobi Half Life exudes something similarly beguiling; something money can’t buy.

You might have overlooked this small, unassuming restaurant located at the Muthaiga Shopping Centre.  And if you have, that would be a big mistake.  This new restaurant is providing Kenya with something it hasn’t had before- fantastic, original food from El Salvador.
