AI Search is the text-based search bar at the top of this page. Type what you are looking for in plain language: a vibe, an occasion, a cuisine, a location, a budget. It returns a curated shortlist of matching restaurants from the Nairobi Feast database.

You do not need to know exact restaurant names. Try things like "romantic rooftop dinner", "family lunch under KES 2,000", or "Japanese food in Westlands".

When you submit a search, the platform runs two passes:

• Instant results: a fast keyword and filter pass surfaces matching restaurants immediately so you are never waiting.
• AI refinement: a second pass uses AI to understand the intent behind your query, re-rank results by relevance, and generate a short summary of why each restaurant fits.

The AI only surfaces restaurants that are actually listed on Nairobi Feast. No hallucinated suggestions.

AI Search understands natural, descriptive queries including:

• Vibe: "lively spot for a birthday", "quiet place to work"
• Occasion: "first date", "business lunch", "family Sunday brunch"
• Cuisine: "Japanese", "nyama choma", "Mediterranean"
• Location: "Westlands", "Karen", "CBD", "near me"
• Budget: "under KES 1,500 per person", "fine dining"
• Features: "rooftop", "outdoor seating", "live music", "pet-friendly"

Combine them freely: "outdoor lunch in Karen under KES 2,000" works just as well.
