Ranked in Best Street Food in Nairobi

Smoky, tender cuts of meat that keep coming to your table in proper Brazilian rodizio style — the top sirloin and garlic sauce are standouts. The Kilimani branch has a lively atmosphere, and the portions are generous enough that you won't leave hungry.

Amazing experience from start to finish. The service was attentive, the meat selection was excellent, and the top sirloin stood out as a highlight. Save room for the grilled pineapple at the end. It is absolutely worth it and a perfect finish to the meal. Highly recommended if you are in Kenya and want a proper churrasco experience.

I expected a better variety of meat, missed tenderloin beef, but overall it was a fun experience and I would go again. Pricey for what you get, 24€ per person, kids 5-10 half price

Glovo delivery review..... Fast Delivery, food hot, very well packaged, wonderful cutlery pack, portionagood size. Loved the smokey grilled flavour of the Top Sirloin. Garlic Sauce was in point.. chilli sauce way to hot for me. The ironic thing is I have dined in 3 times over the last 3 months, and never got such tender well cooked meat while dining in the restaurant. A very enjoyable meal.

The experience at Fogo was amazing. From the meat which was juicy, tender, and cooked just right, the serving of different cuts, and each one better than the last, to the place which had a lively vibe, friendly staff, and a nice atmosphere that makes a person want to stay longer. A perfect spot if you love good food and want to enjoy a fun evening out with friends or family.

Fogo Gaucho is a delightful dining haven located on the ground floor of the Galana building, strategically found along Galana Road, just off the bustling Argwings Kodhek Road in the vibrant Kilimani area. This was my inaugural experience of partaking in a rodizio, which is a style of service in Brazilian restaurants where a wide variety of meats are brought to the table, one after another, until you signal that you've had enough. The restaurant stands out with its exquisite decor, creating an inviting atmosphere from the moment you step through the doors, immediately captivating your senses. We opted for the all-you-can-eat option, driven by a desire to fully experience what Fogo Gaucho had to offer, and I must say, I was not let down in the slightest. The culinary delights provided were nothing short of spectacular. The meal progression, starting from the tantalizing appetizers, moving to the flavorful main courses, and concluding with delectable desserts, was a culinary journey worth every moment. The highlight of the dining experience was undoubtedly the parade of meats. My personal favorites included succulent cuts of steak, tender sirloins, delectable lamb, and even the uniquely exotic crocodile meat, which was astonishingly soft and tender. The pork ribs were a perfect combination of savory and sweet, and although the shrimps were not to my preference due to their peculiar aroma, the fish dish was outstanding. Among the various meats, the lamb captivated my palate the most; it was so juicy, flavorful, and mouth-watering that I couldn't resist its allure. The continuous flow of meat was both comforting and overwhelming until the moment when enough was enough, and we waved the iconic "stop" sign. As a dessert enthusiast, I indulged my sweet tooth with the impressive assortment of treats offered at the end of our meal, delighting in the sugary finale. Accompanying drinks were available in both alcoholic and non-alcoholic varieties, and as a wine aficionado myself, I was thrilled with their extensive selection of wines to complement the sumptuous feast. From the second we stepped foot into the establishment, the service was impeccable. We were received with generous smiles, indicative of the warm hospitality that the staff at Fogo Gaucho is renowned for. Having made a reservation, we were swiftly guided to our designated table, ensuring a smooth transition from anticipation to enjoyment. The ambiance was calm and inviting, embellished by soothing country music softly playing in the background, which enhanced our dining experience. The attentive waitstaff was dedicated to ensuring our comfort and satisfaction throughout the meal, making for a truly commendable service that deserves acclaim. The restaurant's cleanliness was noteworthy, extending from the immaculate dining area to the spotless washrooms, ensuring guests are met with hygienic surroundings. Parking was readily available both inside and outside the venue, and the noticeable presence of security at the main entrance further added to the sense of safety and security for all patrons visiting the establishment. I wholeheartedly advocate for Fogo Gaucho as a prime dining spot. It is a family-friendly establishment where you can bring your children; there's even a bouncing castle that promises fun and excitement as they mingle with other kids while adults enjoy their dining experiences, whether through savoring the delicious food or engaging in great conversation. Moreover, it's an ideal venue for business luncheons, meetings with colleagues, or intimate dates, providing both a professional and relaxed atmosphere. In conclusion, my first visit to Fogo Gaucho was nothing short of extraordinary, leaving me with cherished memories and a longing anticipation for my next visit. 😊
