NYAMA CHOMA- THE HEART OF KENYAN BARBECUE

Why I like it

Nyama Choma, which means ‘ roasted meat’ in Swahili, is the classic Kenyan barbecue. The meat, usually goat or beef, is marinated and grilled to perfection over an open flame. What I love about Nyama Choma is its simplicity and the smoky, charred flavor that the grilling process imparts.

Personal Touch

My first taste of Nyama Choma was in Kiserian Nairobi, at a lively local spot where friends gather to enjoy good food and great company. The convivial atmosphere, filled with laughter and conversation, paired with the succulent, well-seasoned meat, made the experience unforgettable. Nyama Choma is more than just food; it is a social ritual that brings people together.

Recommendation

To truly appreciate Nyama Choma, it is best experienced in a local setting, preferably outdoors, where the aroma of grilling meat fills the air. This dish is best enjoyed with friends, accompanied by a cold beverage and lively conversation.
