About

The nyama choma pulls crowds near University of Eldoret, and the attendants always find you a table even when it's packed. One review raves about kitchen work, which is confusing, but the pattern is clear — top-notch service and a good place for dinner.

    We were very pleased with the timing and quality of work. Our kitchen looks amazing- couldn’t be happier.

  • Ben M.Google review · 6 Dec 2023

    A nice place. Most of the time fully packed but the attendants there will always find you a table. The services there are top notch. If you are visiting University of Eldoret and you wish to take some Nyama choma feel free to take some if your time and drop by Songa Inn.
