Carnivore Restaurant
Carnivore
A long-established restaurant famous for meat grilled on long skewers, where waiters carve from them at your table until you signal you are full with a small white flag.
The restaurant opened in 1980 near Wilson Airport in Langata. At the entrance, a huge charcoal pit holds rows of long iron skewers, like Maasai spears, roasting beef, lamb, pork and chicken. Waiters bring the skewers to your table and carve on the spot, and the meat keeps coming until you turn over the small white flag on the table. It was once known for game meat, but after Kenya banned hunting in 2004 it switched to farmed meats such as ostrich and crocodile. A set meal costs about 4,000–5,000 shillings per person, and the signature cocktail is called 'Dawa.' Dinner reservations are recommended.
