The Carnivore Restaurant

Rated amongst the Best 50 Restaurants in the World, the Carnivore is considered 'Africa’s Greatest Eating Experience'. This open-air meat specialty restaurant has strikingly different food, service and atmosphere to anything ever seen in Kenya. Every type of meat imaginable, including four choices of wild game, are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a huge, visually spectacular charcoal pit that dominates the entrance of the restaurant.

The waiters then carry these swords around the restaurant, carving unlimited amounts of the prime meats onto sizzling, cast iron plates in front of you. A wide selection of salads, vegetable side dishes, and a variety of exotic sauces accompany the meat feast. Dessert and coffee follow this. The full meal including a soup course is at a set price.

As the name suggests, Carnivore is a true meat lover's paradise. Boasting a spectacular "all the meat you can eat" menu, the entire restaurant is centered around a large open fire pit, on which massive skewers of roasted. Fire roasted meat (locally known as Nyama Choma is a genuine Kenyan specialty.

While some may feel slightly squeamish about visiting Kenya and consuming the local wildlife, all of the game served is from eco-friendly game ranches which play an important role in conservation. Game ranching has far less impact on local habitats than farming cattle or other livestock.

The Carnivore is also the home of the Simba Saloon, Nairobi's most popular nightclub and disco. The informal outdoor atmosphere, exceptional snacks and outstanding entertainment ensure a vibrant and exciting night out. “Most agree that you have not really been to Kenya if you have not dined at the Carnivore”.
