This is easily the most over-rated restaurant in Nairobi. The ambience and setting are nice. Unfortunately with the ban on game meat, the meat platter is quite skimpy. I have had bad tasting sausages repeatedly brought to my table. The only reason this restaurant is being kept alive is because of its past history -- and desperate promotion by tour... more

Wow – what a busy place. This was a Thursday night, but I’m glad I booked a table before hand – the place was packed. Got a great table on the outside terrace and the buzz in the restaurant was great, everyone was having a fun time – the atmosphere was fantastic. Service was efficient and fast. Drink orders were... more

I was so dissapointed as I had been to carnivore before (ok it was when there was poitical violence in Kenya and the place was empty!We had a great time) This time i was on my honeymoon and suggested to my husband we go there for an evening meal. We phoned in advance to book a table for 8pm, arrived... more

This restaurant was given good reviews in the books. We turned up without a booking and got a table for two almost straight away which was good. The idea was good and service was quick and efficient. As others have said the meat was a bit dry and salads fairly limp. When we cam to the pay the waiter brought... more

Unless, maybe, you are with a large rowdy, half-in-the-bag group, this place is not much. I heard that years ago it was great. Sales people hawk this place heavily, maybe for generous kickbacks. Waiters bring you little bits of meat to go with a salad and bread. At first them come by quite often, then you have to almost tackle... more

After recomendation we went out of our way to visit Carnivore but made the mistake of not booking- a 1 hour wait was then required. The food was plentiful but as mentionned by others the "game" is no longer on the menu and thus not really extraordinary! The prices are higher than you might expect, be warned! All in all... more

Me and my partner went here twice on our holiday to kenya, the first time was just the 2 of us and the 2nd time was with a group of people we had met on our holiday, it was great on both times. Its got a really good atmosphere! We liked the way it was eat as much as you... more

We had heard really good things about Carnivore restaurant, but it did not live up to its expectations. First of all, only one specialty food is served per night which changes depending on which day that you go. On the night that we went, the specialty food was ostrich meatballs. Servers come around with a variety of different meats that... more

Sort of like a rodizio restaurant. Don't expect to get rare meat, other than beef, chicken, sasage and lamb. The soup or salad that comes with it, is boring and minimalist. The restaurant itself is a long drive from Nairobi. Service is fast and not personalized. I have eaten many rodizio's in different countries (US, Brazil, Argentina, UK). So you... more
