Carnivore Restaurant Experience Tour
The Carnivore Restaurant is the ultimate leading restaurant and well known for the variety of meat which is roasted over charcoal and carved at your table.
It offers massive barbecue bit where all kinds of meat are skewered and cooked on traditional Maasai swords. A massive barbecue pit dominates the entrance at Carnivore.
Delicious side dishes and an exceptional array of sauces complement the feast that also includes soup, a selection of desserts and Kenyan coffee. The restaurant has the informal indoor/outdoor atmosphere, exceptional snacks and the pulsating rhythms of Africa combine to ensure an exciting ambiance.
The Carnivore restaurant is considered as the Africa’s Greatest eating experience. When Carnivore in Nairobi first opened, it had all sorts of exotic game meat on offer.
Kenya banned the sale of wild game meat in 2004, and Carnivore updated its menu to include domestic animals like chicken, beef, pork, turkey and some farm-raised exotic meats like ostrich and crocodile.
The concept is an all-you-can-eat meat feast, though there is a vegetarian option available too.
It’s similar to the Brazilian-style restaurants we’ve been to where a variety of salads are offered, but the stars of the dinner show are the various types of meat brought around on swords.
You can try what you like, and as much of it as you like. Then when the meat sweats start and you finally call mercy, you take down your flag in surrender.
Carnivore is also famous for their Dawa, a Kenyan cocktail that they make table side with a bit of fun pomp and circumstance. Dawa is Swahili for medicine, though this cocktail tastes nothing like a medicinal-like alcohol you cringe at. It’s vodka with honey, lime and sugar.
A lazy susan provides easy access to all the sauces.
Each meat-wielding server explains exactly what they’ve got. If you’re just not into that particular meat, you’re more than welcome to turn it down.
We went with the attitude that we’d at least try everything, even the ox balls – which was honestly the only thing that didn’t sound appealing to me.
