Thank you for watching this ultimate Kenyan street food tour in Nairobi! I met up with my friend James who took me around to a few of his favorite spots to eat.

Kawangware, Nairobi, Kenya

Here’s most of the food we tried on this amazing tour of Nairobi:

Ann Restaurant – Dagoretti Corner – This small street food stall on Dagoretti Corner in Nairobi serves all sorts of Kenyan / East African foods. Their chapatis are especially good, and their Lake Victoria sardines fried with tomatoes.
Chapati
Dagaa – Lake Victoria sardine
Matumbo – stomach stew
Githeri – beans and maize
The guy sitting across the table – “you should not eat beans and sardines together, or you’ll have gas.”
Total bill – 1,050 KES ($10.39) – we paid for 4 or 5 guys eating there

Stomach Clinix – This was the best food stop of the day, a neighborhood meat shop that James took me to that specializes in cow head soup. The grilled tongue was also spectacular, but the soup was the best.
Total price – 200 KES ($1.98)

Dagoretti Market – After the meat, we took a walk over to Dagoretti Market. After browsing around for a while, we stopped for another plate of mixed Kenyan food, mostly dengu, which are mung beans. It was simple, but quite good.
Dengu – mung beans
Total price – 300 KES ($2.97)

Unity Cafe Hotel – We met up with some of James’ friend in Kawangware, and went to eat across the street from their shoe shop. The mandazi mix was the highlight of this Kenyan meal.
Total price – 600 KES ($5.94) for all

Cow foot fry – Next we headed over to Oscar who makes cow food soup, fry and boil. He was a very friendly man, and showed me his entire process of making cow foot soup. It was delicious!
Total price – 450 KES ($4.45)

Kenyan street food – To end this Kenyan street food tour of Nairobi we had to eat one of the ultimate Kenyan fast food meat treats. You’ll see these types of grills all over the streets in the late afternoon throughout Nairobi. You just choose what you want, it’s cut on the chopping board, and you stand and eat.
Esophagus
Intestines
Mutura – minced meat sausage
Mutura – blood sausage
Udder
Total price – 200 KES ($1.97)

  6. I love that you give credit to the true people ok Kenya and other filters. That warms my heart. Thank you Mark and family.

  21. I love the part where in the end you get exploited??lol ?they took too much from????all that you should have paid less than 7 bucks?????

  30. People forget that Mark lived in Kenya during his high school years . Kenyan cuisine is familiar to him and he probably didn't have enough time to explore numerous street food joints that are most popular with the locals that live close to the poverty line.

    It's his moment to eat whatever he wants and enjoy the dishes he rarely got to sample as a kid.

    For all who think that this is all that Nairobi has to offer, you are wrong. Just like any other city you have fast food, expensive, oriental etc restaurants and food trucks. Let a man eat!!! He literally passed a freaking mall with pizza parlours (2$ pizzas!) and Kenyan restaurants (traditional Kenyan full course meals at 5$) on his way to Ann's Restaurant.

    Ya'll are too focused on the poor and disease riddled picture of Africa and happily "sympathize" with his stomach…that superiority attitude without context will come and bite you in your…?
