Carnivore Restaurant: A Unique Eating Experience in Nairobi

This was ine of the best experiences I've ever had. I surely enjoyed with my partner. Food, good music and lots of fun.

We booked this method of getting to the restaurant because it was supposed to be trouble free and convenient. We contacted the tour operator before our trip started and a few days prior to confirm our pick up time (17:00) and reservation. The day of our booking, we were messaged at 12:30 that we would be picked up at 13:30 to go to a cultural village! An hour was spent with our hotel staff and we were unable to reach the company by phone. Responses through the message app were slow. Eventually the driver showed up at 13:30 and put me on the phone with his boss who tried to say we had booked a tour including the cultural village. (Intensive review of our booking on Viator shows no mention of this.) We were told our supper booking was for 17:00 and we needed to leave at 16:30 due to traffic which we agreed to do. Upon arriving at 17:00 the restaurant staff informed us our reservation was for 18:00, showed us their phone logs and reservation information forwarded by the tour operator and told us they had clearly informed him Earlier Today! That they did not open for supper until 18:00. We had to wait an hour at the bar before eating. The restaurant was what you would expect and we have no complaints about it. I leave it up to you to decide if this is the company you want to trust with your arrangements.

It’s not often I get such poor service but this one was a doozy. The tour company confirmed in writing a 5pm pick-up to the restaurant. On the day of, at 1230 told us we were leaving at 1330 to see the bomas of Kenya. When challenged in writing company representative James wrote a pick for 1730. Then the driver showed up at 1330 anyways. When we finally got James on the phone he said we were to leave at 1600, then 1630. He then gaslighted me and told me I booked the bomas of Kenya tour and there was no problem. The problem was he kept changing our timings and trying to add a tour that we didn’t book. When I looked up the tour and said it was simply a ride to the restaurant he claimed I was wrong. Then he made the poor driver wait from 1330 to 1630 to wait for us. We get to the restaurant at 1700 and it wasn’t even open. Dinner starts at 1800. The manager apologized and said he spoke to James and specifically told him the time. This was simply James’ way of ensuring we would be punished for declining to go the the bomas for which he would have gotten a commission. Avoid this company. James is dishonest and out to lunch. Hire a taxi to go to this restaurant and make your own reservation if you want to go. The restaurant was good but service was super slow.

First of all the cost for this service is to taxi you to and from the Restaurant. The meal is NOT included. This 30 dollar ride only cost 8 dollars by Uber. We made reservations for 12 noon but was booked by this agency for an evening reservation. After we called to complain about not being picked up- they apologized and said they would change the reservation time. We took an Uber over to Carnivore and while in transit we made reservations as well. When we arrived we checked to see if they had made the reservations and they had- which cost 30 dollars because I only received a partial refund.

Amazing service, fast and kind. I warmly recommand it to everyone. The food is godess ! Place to be👌 Thank youuuuuuuuuu

An excellent restaurant as well in quality as in the novelty of the experience offered, the flesh being available coming from different species of antelopes, zebras, crocs as well as from domestic bovine, pig etc

The experience was very good, the place is amazing. The service is the best. And Kago it’s amazing. We'd definitely be back.

Buffet food at an expensive price, but according to the experience. It is eaten from pork, lamb, ostrich to crocodile accompanied with potatoes and different sauces. The place is very nice on the outskirts of Nairobi.

I really enjoyed our dinner. Incredible Service / Awesome Food, Especially the meat and signature drinks. Love Love Love

Very good meat selections, enjoyed seeing the meats cooked on a giant grill right int he restaurant. Some selections no longer available, like zebra and antelope, but what was there was good. Their DAWA drink was very good for cutting the African dust. They could use more vegetarian choices for people like my wife.
