While I personally enjoy eating meat, I found the constant presence of various meats like crocodile, pork, lamb, and turkey to be overwhelming. However, the service, atmosphere, and music were all excellent.

The restaurant also offered lamb, pork, turkey, chicken, and ostrich prepared in various ways. However, I was not a fan of the bull testicles they served as a final dish.

You pay a fixed price for a buffet-style meal, and waiters continuously serve food at your table until you can eat no more. Although this place is quite touristy, it is definitely worth a visit for at least once to enjoy the experience. It’s located near the outskirts, so it’s recommended to take a taxi and arrange for a round-trip fare. Be prepared to wait about an hour for your return ride.

Similar to the Brazilian rodizio dining style, this restaurant offers a fixed price menu featuring a wide array of African meats, accompanied by a diverse selection of salads and sauces, typically beginning with a soup. Desserts and coffee are also included in the price. Knowledgeable bartenders walk around the restaurant, continuously offering diners a variety of exotic, charcoal-grilled meats served on the iconic "skewers," or Maasai swords. Among the meats available are ostrich, wild boar, crocodile, pig, lamb, and chicken. Until recently, the menu also featured giraffe, zebra, and gazelle, but these offerings have been discontinued due to conservation laws protecting these species. The success of this restaurant has led to its expansion as franchises in several African countries, and the Carnivore brand has gained immense prestige among locals. One popular drink at the restaurant is "Dawa," which means "vitalizing medicine" in Swahili, a classic choice for meat lovers. Locals assure that all meat suppliers possess hunting licenses issued by the Kenyan government.
