Carnivore

Carnivore restaurant

Oskari Nyqvist

For barbecue and big game meat, there is no other place than the famous Carnivore.  It lies just out of town on Langata road past Wilson Airport. Carnivore serves some of the best meat in the world. 

The menu nowadays only ranges from the normal chicken, pork, to beef and lamb. All the exotic game meats are no longer available. The special offerings that were available in the past (giraffe, zebra, hartebeest, wildebeest) are unfortunately no longer served, 'because of governement restrictions' as a waiter claimed. This takes away a lot of the reason to go to the Carnivore and makes the price you have to pay for something that you can get everywhere else quite high...

The meat that is served is cut off onto your plate from huge swords and the waiters keep coming around until you “surrender” by lowering your white flag on your table. The all-you-can-eat extravaganza will run you about KSh 1,300. If you can still stand afterwards, there’s the Simba Saloon next door!
