  • Yaya Centre has continued to improve. I'm glad that the Haven Wine store has opened there. It has an excellent selection of wines from various countries.

  • Had an exchange with good rates. There’s a good Foodplus chain market and some other useful stores. But it’s only worth it if you are around

  • The security is tight up in this centre. It’s located is a very busy fast pace area. Drivers be wilding out, it’s like they don’t see pedestrians. The centre was very clean and plenty to purchase from. The only hiccup I ran across was the machines to pay weren’t working. Which was a big inconvenience since Im not from the country.
  • It’s nice for a very small mall. Most prices are quite high though and selection is limited. But if you are in a crunch and need to get it nearby and fast this is the place to go to. It has several restaurants too if you need a quick meal. We ate at ArtCafe once. See my other review. The place has a small parking garage. Which is convenient. And security guards are friendly.
  • Wonderful service. The place is clean and organized. Good for kids and also people with disabilities can access the premises. Food courts, supermarkets and other shops are all functional. The mall is spacious and has a child-friendly environment.
  • Pretty cool mall with plenty of cafes and shops. I particularly enjoyed art caffe which had decent coffee (just about average) and pretty good French toast (Kenyan style) all in all I will Definitely come back at some point. Beware though, the area the centre is located in is a bit dangerous so don’t go out with your camera on display!
  • A nice mall to do all your shopping. It's a little pricey though. It also has a play area for kids, which you have to pay, but it's good for the kids to go get their energy out
