A Taste of Tradition

Kenyan cuisine is deeply rooted in the country’s rich cultural heritage. Sample the beloved hearty staple dish, Ugali, made from maize flour, which accompanies various stews and grilled meats. Indulge in the aromatic delights of Nyama Choma, succulent roasted meat, often served with sides like Kachumbari (a fresh tomato and onion salad) and Sukuma Wiki (collard greens). Don’t miss out on sampling traditional dishes like Pilau (spiced rice), Mukimo (mashed vegetables), and Githeri (a flavorful mix of corn and beans).

A Fusion of Flavors

Kenyan cuisine is a harmonious blend of various culinary traditions influenced by Swahili, Indian, Arab, and British cultures. Explore the vibrant spice markets and savor the aroma of traditional dishes such as pilau, biryani, and samosas that reflect Indian and Arabian influences.

Exploring the Street Food Scene

No food tour in Kenya would be complete without exploring the bustling street food scene. From the vibrant food markets of Nairobi to the coastal city of Mombasa, the streets come alive with an array of mouthwatering delicacies.

Sample the popular street food staple, “Mahindi Choma” (grilled corn), seasoned with spices and lime. Sink your teeth into a plate of “Mutura,” a spicy and savory Kenyan sausage made from offal and spices.

Don’t forget to try the beloved “Mandazi,” a sweet and fluffy deep-fried doughnut-like treat, or taste the creamy and refreshing Mahamri (sweet, deep-fried bread) often enjoyed with a cup of spicy chai (tea).
