Nice variety of meat, but not always prepaired well, good side dishes, wine is a problem, and the place has become very expensive over the years

After a long 4 month slog across the upper regions of the continent it was great to arrive in Nairobi where one could have a soft bed and eat to ones content. One evening I went to Carnivore and was blown away by the choices of wild game and servings of bread and salad. If you want to load up... More

Went here with a group. The food was very good and it was a fun atmosphere. They obviously handle large groups well - no waiting, prompt service.

Be ready for a fun, Disneyland-like experience. The staff is exceptional. I paid with my credit card and inadvertently left the restaurant without having the card returned. Three members of the restaurant staff contacted my taxi driver to find out where I was staying and they came to my hotel to return the card (it was close to midnight). Am... More

As the name suggests, this is all about the meat. I was reluctant to go, having read about it and thought it sounded a bit tacky, but we had to dine out on our final night in Nairobi and my husband loves meat, so we went along. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The decor is fun and... More
