    ..The Carnivore experience in Kenya is a famous and lively all-you-can-eat restaurant in Nairobi that is known as "Africa's Greatest Eating Experience". The experience involves a variety of meats, including exotic options like crocodile and ostrich, roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a charcoal pit and carved tableside. It is accompanied by an array of side dishes, salads, desserts, and signature cocktails like the "Dawa". What to expect Unlimited meat feast: The meal is an all-you-can-eat "Beast of a Feast" where waiters bring skewers of different meats to your table to carve. Variety of meats: In addition to exotic meats like ostrich and crocodile, the restaurant serves beef, lamb, pork, and chicken. Interactive service: Servers, wearing traditional zebra-striped aprons and straw hats, bring the meat directly from a large charcoal pit to your table for carving. Side dishes and accompaniments: A buffet of side dishes, soups, and salads is available to complement the meat, along with a variety of sauces. The "Dawa" cocktail: A signature cocktail called "Dawa" (Swahili for "magic potion") is served to enhance your appetite and is mixed tableside. Vegetarian options: The restaurant also caters to vegetarians with a separate menu of salads and vegetables. Atmosphere: The restaurant is set in tropical gardens and has a rustic, relaxed atmosphere that is often described as a combination of a rural setting and a medieval banquet hall. The "flag system": To signal you are finished, you simply lower the white flag in the center of your table. Important to know Location: The restaurant is located in Nairobi, Kenya. Hours: It is open daily for lunch and dinner, though times vary, so it's a good idea to check. Booking: Booking in advance is recommended to ensure your seat. Hotel transfers: Many tours include hotel pickup and drop-off for added convenience.

    Attended an event here, the service was great but the food was pretty mid. They were out of vegetarian options so fast and that left us veg eating fries that tasted like the frozen kind.
