Kenyan public figure Boina has publicly criticized a restaurant in Karen, Nairobi, after claiming she was made to wait while foreign guests were served before her. This incident has raised concerns about racial discrimination that some Kenyans face in their own country.

Boina expressed her frustration, stating, 'For a moment, I thought I was in Atlanta, Georgia, only to realize I was actually in Karen, Kenya.' This comment underscores her feelings about the treatment she received compared to that of foreign patrons. Many online commentators believe the restaurant in question is Cultiva, a popular dining spot in the area.
