About

Everyone's working hard and prices are fair, but meals come out slow—plan for a leisurely stop, not a quick bite. Good highway rest point between Nairobi and Nakuru if you've got time.

  • Emmanuel M.Google review · 19 Dec 2025

    Everybody seemed to be working really hard. Prices were fairly good. However, the meals were served cold. Super hot Ugali but cold tasteless meat Several orders were mixed up. The floor was dirty with no apparent cleaning effort ongoing. Bills were mixed up. Not only does the management need an overhaul, but the whole establishment also needs a rebirth. Hard for me to go back voluntarily.

    For a well deserved stopover to and from western Kenya is a must at Shemeji. Their tumbukiza beef and soup broth replenishes the stress & lost carolies along highway.

    For mouth watering choma, and other African dishes, a convenient store and a butchery, no bookings, just walk in and order your favorite food. Suitable for all ages and also have a separate bar.

    Stopped over during a longer journey. It was highly recommended by previous patrons. Had ugali choma for a group of 8 snd was sufficiently satisfied. The bone soup offered was very good, though required a little bit of salt to preference. Ugali may have been cooked a bit better.
