Food Palace and Grill Restaurant Nakuru
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in Nakuru
About
A Nakuru highway stop where the mbuzi, kachumbari, and ugali are consistently good — skip the sausage and chicken, which aren't fresh. Good for nyama choma and bone soup for red meat lovers, though broiler chicken is sometimes sold as kienyeji.

Nice little place to stop for nyama choma. Decent food, the mbuzi was good every time, the kachumbari and ugali were good. I wouldn't recommend the sausage or chicken, it wasn't fresh or good. The staff was good and helpful. The owner was friendly.

Ordered kuku kienyeji stew. Was brought broiler wet fry in the name of kienyeji. This is the second time this is happening. Never going back again. The place is selling broiler chicken in the name of kienyeji.

Food Palace and Grill Nakuru services and atmosphere are quite ok. Its somewhere I'd recommend for anyone seeking fresh meals. However, their nyama choma has a significant gap for improvement.

This establishment is located close to Section 58, along the Nakuru-Nairobi highway. The food is superb, especially for those who are into red meat. They even serve bone soup, which is an important consideration for those diet restricts from such drinks as juices or tea. They also have meeting rooms. There is spacious parking space.
