Carnivore Nairobi/Carnivores Restaurant Nairobi
The Carnivore is an iconic Nairobi restaurant that has existed since 1980. I am pleased to say that I have had the pleasure of enjoying its offerings since the mid-eighties.
Located off Lang’ata Road, the world famous Carnivore Nairobi—it ranked 47th on Restaurant magazine’s “World’s Best 50 Restaurants” list in 2003—is a meat lover’s den where a vast selection of succulent meats are charcoal grilled and carved at your table. In their own words, they offer “a beast of a feast”.
In its heyday, Carnivore was popular for serving a slew of meat including game meat such as zebra, giraffe, and wildebeest in the popular Brazilian Rodízio style. That was until Kenya imposed a ban on the sale of game meat in 2004.
The Carnivore experience changed quite a bit after that and became a lot less exotic but still, today, eating at the Carnivore is an experience.
Starting from their welcome signature cocktail, a Dawa (it was invented at Carnivore Nairobi), a meal at The Carnivore features an all-you-can-eat meat buffet.
Today, only the meat of domestic animals such as beef, pork, lamb, and chicken, as well as farmed ostrich and crocodile meat is served.
The meat is skewered on Maasai swords, cooked on coals, and served on cast-iron plates.
The Carnivore also has a vegetarian option. You can see what that includes below.
Whatever the case, at Carnivore, you will always get delicious succulent meat, service with a great attitude, and an experience of a meal.
Simba Saloon
Adjoining the Carnivore main restaurant is the ‘Simba Saloon’ – a vibrant informal à la carte restaurant with a children’s playground.
Staying on the theme of good meat, Simba Saloon serves one of the tastiest hamburgers I have ever had in my life.
