It’s the type of meat you can remember for a lifetime, the type of meat that builds memories and creates lasting impressions. Naturally grazed, grass fed, freshly butchered, and supremely roasted.
It’s meat that you feel good about devouring, it consists of grains you can feel and an Africa you can taste! Nyama Choma is truly at the top of Kenyan food!
Nairobi style nyama choma is a dream come true for any carnivore.
Nyama choma literally means “roasted meat.” Most of the time goat is the default genre, but beef (ng’ombe) and chicken (kuku) are also quite common and can be very delicious too.
You order your Nyama Choma straight from the butcher with his goats hanging in the window, you choose your cut and wait for it to be roasted.
Nyama Choma is usually eaten off a communal cutting board with your hands, as the main dish, with others dishes on the side.
Some prefer just straight meat and salt. Others like a bit of kachumbari (combination of chopped tomatoes, onions and cilantro, sometimes avocado) or pili pili (chili). For starch, ugali (cornmeal starch) or greasy chips (French fries) are common.
Yum! My favourite kenyan food
