Carnivore Nairobi Review

Spacious, decent, friendly staff good food and excellent service. You might have to dig deep into your pocket for that though

The food is always great especially for meat lovers

This is the place to be this festive season. I can't even explain my experience. You have to see for yourself!

Nice place but does not have cocktail at the moment

As a KETO eater it can often be more difficult to find menu options that work within my diet without having to substitute over half a meal. Not the case here! The options all looked amazing as the came out and the unique options were fun. We tried a variety and went tapas style. I recommend doing this and trying new meats. Great flavors and sauces.

Ohhh Gosh,if u havent been ur missing out,tge meals are to die for,plus the music at the Simba Saloon. Nice super nice....

A great place to experience a variety of different meats.

At this place,was able to see an over edged wathog,wao,it was amazing,had lots of fun,drinks.....fresh air was the order of the day

They serve all kinds of meat, crocodile meat, ostrich meat, etc. They have variety and the cool music playing in the back ground.

Large variety of roast meat. I enjoy the crocodile and beef

Have succulent and tasty meat platters. Could do better with their restrooms though.

A ' Must Visit' whilst in Nairobi. Does what it says! - serves loads of tasty meats! The staff were great, as was the food. Excellent.

Place is amazing so is the service by staff. The food is superb. Worth every penny paid.

Goid place but not for everyone, hidden along the leafy langata road just next to wilson airport.

Excellent service and very attentive staff! Even after trying all the different kinds of meat on offer multiple times, they would still come to my table and ask if I wanted some more or a specific kind which they would get a few moments later. The food itself was also amazing! Definitely try the ostrich and tee honey-glazed pork ribs!

Great service even for a huge group of pple. Bwana Mathew Kiama took good care of us. Kudos

Wonderful place that caters for fun activities for all ages.

Great experience of Nairobi local delights. We wanted halal food so they changed our flag from yellow to the green. Even then they brought us alligator meat which we humbly declined to eat.

Overall beef meat was 10/10 and lamb was 8/10. Didn t like turkey, chicken and ostrich meat much though.

Oh yeah ostrich liver was good as well.

We concluded with deserts and it was delightful too.

Its the most inviting restaurant I've ever been to,large variety of meat in big chunks.
Its for those people that are sick and tired with vegetables . really good.

A place to be. Go relax and enjoy. Some metres off Langata road.

I like the environment around there beautiful flowers and grasses around. nice and high quality of food .

The service was excellent. The food was even better. And the ambience was perfect.

Fun, cool environment, great customer service. You will eat meat until you give up .

Awesome place with the nicest staff ever 5 stars!!!

The food is amazing. Oh my, you can never fail when it comes to the food. The service is great as well as the ambiance and the place

Lovely staff,very friendly. Has a baby changing area and the food was splendid.

Very good food. I didn't stay here but the Carnivore restaurant is always the place I go for lunch or dinner whenever I am around.

A very lovely place, good ambience, good food and in plenty, Good sounds and music;perfect grounds with ample parking space.Oh, they also accept payments in dollars but at a lower conversion rate. The staff are quite friendly and respectful to clients there and I really liked their fast service. I would also recommend prior bookings especially on weekends for good services. Kudos!

Now, this is a serious place!! These people have the biggest barbecue grill I ever saw. And I've seen some in my short time on earth.

First, the environment and ambience... It's tucked behind their sister hotel, the Tamarind Tree, which is itself an excellent hotel (that's subject for a separate review). Carnivore is a deliberately cozy place that gets a "natural, rural" ambience just right. It's a perfect reflection of the spirit of Kenya with it's many parks filled with a wondrous variety of wildlife. It's set away from the hustle and bustle of the city, but still close enough to be easily accessible. The greenery is an excellent touch and, again, in sync with the Kenyan experience.

The service. Oh, Lord! Where do I start from?! Let me open with "excellent!!" Carnivore is run by a particularly helpful and respectful staff. As soon as one steps in, they envelope you with warmth. They bend over backwards to make you feel at home. They take their time to answer questions and explain the exotic theme that you're experiencing, if you ask them. When I was there with a bunch of Sub-Saharan African scholars and Civil Society reps, they 'conveniently' forgot to explain that as soon as you came in, Carnivore was at "war" with you. Their objective is to feed you a wild assortment of meat and to do so in great quantum until you surrender by knocking over the flag on your table.

And the food was good!! They opened proceedings with this heavenly soup. All along, some nice fellow walked from table to table putting together this beautiful cocktail called "dawa" for any who were interested. I took mine with a shot of vodka.
The meat is served on hot cast-iron plates. The folks there carry the meat to your table on these big swords and carve unto your plate until you tell them to move along. They helpfully indicate which of the sauces (by now there is already a variety on the table) go with what meat. And you should listen to them.

There is no way that I can do Carnivore enough justice with this review. I am not a linguistically gifted mortal. I'd just say, if you happen to be in Nairobi for any reason, and you want a memorable experience, you may want to put Carnivore on the itinerary.

The experience is good if you like meat. They cook in an African barbecue and all the meat is fantastic. You can eat lamb, beef, pork, chicken, turkey, ostrich and crocodile, cook it in different ways. The all you can eat menu includes a soup as a starter, all the meat that you want, a dessert and tea or coffee. I highly recommend the passion fruit cheesecake! The price of the menu is 3400 ksh, and the drinks are not included. For example a beer is 400ksh, a coke 200 ksh and the cocktail they offer at the beginning 700 ksh. We really enjoyed our stay in the Carnivore restaurant!

Fantastic food and service. Great atmosphere and surroundings. Highly Recommend visiting.

Go go meat eaters ! Great party area. Service is way above average, was a great evening but had so much meat i became a veg. eater after ! A must at least 1 time

The place has lost nothing of it's charm since it opened, back in the eighties. Well maintained, clean, attentive staff. The quality of the food varies sometimes, unfortunately. Several bars and a discotheque in the same location make it an interesting place to spend an evening.

Excellent. Everything top notch. The food, the ambience, the service people. All those peeps are awesome ones!!

The watershed of Nairobi nightlife. Brilliant service and great food and a wide array of wine to taste. Love it and would recommend anyone for a visit. Its very popular with tourists eager to enjoy some nyama choma (roast beef, chicken or goat)

New Jack swing was amazing. You should do it more often.

its ok but no longer have a long list of exotic foods

Lovely ground and excellent nyama choma and tasty meals.
Attended a wedding and the parking was excellently managed.

Amazing experience. Not enough words to describe. Absolutely worth it.

Fresh food. Great ambience. Definitely a must visit

It's a cool place with fresh air and amazing spaces

One of the few places you have an opportunity of feasting on game meat. This includes The Nile Crocodile and Masai Ostrich. Mr. Dawa can quench your thirst with a touch of honey and vodka tailored specifically to your taste.

Always a place to enjoy with friends both national and international. The food is a party and the cocktail list is varied yet ALWAYS pick Dawa. Also music for ambience. Best to book dinner table for weekends. On weekdays I have chanced it without booking and was lucky.

Good food, good service, fun atmosphere.

These days they don't have anything very exotic on the menu. The most outside of ordinary thing you're likely to get is crocodile (a little like lobster), or buffalo testicle.

It's an iconic Nairobi mainstay. Worth doing once.

Obviously not a good option for vegans...

The food was good. Ambience was perfect. The service was great!

They the original meat delicacy with extraordinary taste

Honestly no better place to eat meat the platters are amazing different type of meat
A place that allows you to eat to your hearts content
It's has an outdoor area just to seat and enjoy the view but if you thing that's all l then you are wrong carnivore grounds is usually known for it's entertainment from comedy to dancers... Enjoy your visit and hope this was helpful.

It's a good place to hangout with friends, it awesome food and drinks are great.. And good service I suggest to add vegetarian dishes..
