The all you can eat offers have been around for a while but their popularity is starting to rise. Technically a buffet is all you can eat. Buffets can be found at most if not all hotels and a number of restaurants. The all you can eat I am referring to though isn’t buffet style but usually an offer on a particular item on the menu.
Here are some of my favourites.
1. Fogo Gaucho
Fogo Gaucho is located in Viking House, Waiyaki Way in Westlands. The cuisine is Brazilian. The all you can eat offer goes for and covers over a dozen cuts of meat including beef, chicken, pork and twenty different salads.
The ambience is great and the food is delicious. To make enquiries and/or reservations call 020/354-4037.
2. Pampa Churascarria
There are two Pampas in Nairobi. One is on the 1st floor of the Panari Cantre while the other is in Thompson Estate, Kingara Rd, Lavington. The cuisine is Brazilian. The all you can eat offer is priced at 2150 a person and consists of a variety of different cuts of meat including beef, chicken, pork, turkey and crocodile. In addition diners can choose from more than 16 different kinds of salads from the salad bar.
The ambience and food are great. I’d definitely recommend it for group functions. To make enquiries and/or reservations call 020 820601/2, 0722 131 047 for Panari and 020 2611539/40, 0727 785 302 for Lavington.
3. Spurs
There are two Spurs in Nairobi. One is in Southern Sun and the other is at Eka Hotel on Mombasa road. The all you can eat is on the pork ribs and goes for just 1600 per person.
The pork ribs are finger-licking delicious. Reservation details: Southern Sun is 20-374-6769 and Eka Hotel is 0719 045 000/0732 105 000.
4. Carnivore
Carnivore, on Langata road, is one of the most famous restaurants in Nairobi when it comes to all you can eat and with good reason. The variety is great with beef, pork, chicken and exotic meats like crocodile on offer.
To make enquiries and reservations call 0733 611608.
The all you can eat is a bit pricy in that it really depends on your stomach capacity and has the catch that you cannot take a doggy bag home even of what’s half eaten on your plate. However, the food is delicious and it’s a great eating out plan especially for groups.
