We Ate WILD MEAT at Carnivore Restaurant Nairobi

[@DaveMani]

I MADE A MISTAKE!!! Carnivore opened in September 1980 not in 1999 like the guy in the video (aka me😂) said.

[@kenstudios]

Yes indeed. I was in Kenya in 1986 and it was open then and always packed

[@benjefc]

Just came on to say the same. I lived in Kenya in the 80s and went there then. Main memories were the cool see saw things in the playground over looking the airport.

[@steviepeesecondlife]

Ahhhh I forgot about this one...I was supposed to go here.

[@joshheuer7360]

Graduated high school in 1997 in Kenya. Carnivore was a place not just for eating meats but also clubbing like the "super soul Sunday's" they used to do. I came to correct the timeline of when it was open as well. But Dave Mani always tries to correct his information. Thanks for correction. Back the 80's and 90's we did get to eat the exotic meats.

[@briankimani9924]

My people :) its not a problem!

[@lonelion8098]

aah! Carnivore! its so nostalgic we used to rock and party at carnivore when I was in campus it was the go to place many people have met their wives there.

[@DaveMani]

Hahaha I heard it was THE spot back in the days! I wish I would have experienced that!!!

[@lonelion8098]

@@DaveMani yes indeed you would have loved it.

[@gertywilson1514]

I’ve never clicked so fast before…. Carnivore has always been great you guys took me back down memory lane and the dawa that goes with the meat is very refreshing 💕

[@DaveMani]

We actually were there again un Sunday night. We took all our family from Canada there. 🇨🇦

[@RichardFoale-ys7bi]

Dave I'm sure it was open before 1999, I'm not talking about the Golf Range, which it was originally. I left Kenya before 1999 and I'd spent many years visiting and partying at Carmivor

[@DaveMani]

You're right! I don't know why some website are saying 1999. My bad, I just pinned a comment to correct myself.

[@johnonyango6069]

We tried Carnivore back in 2021 and it was really good, actually in Nairobi right now, but had other places on my must try list this time around. Wewent to the The al-yusra 2 nights ago and it was fantastic, anyway, we love your videos =)

Enjoy Nairobi man! 🇰🇪😎

Now try to visit tigoni Village its really really beautiful place

[@DaveMani]

I'll look it up :D

[@philipfalconer9595]

Brought back great memories from a couple years ago! Great meat and ambience, but did hope for a few more exotics.

[@DaveMani]

Same here but sadly outside of crocodile and ostrich, the rest is illegal to eat in Kenya...

My favorite restaurant/meat place. I started going to the carnivore restaurant when my son was 9 months and he is now 11 years old. We still eat there but not as often as my kids have outgrown the play area

[@DaveMani]

Hahaha definitely a great spot to bring the family! :)

Haha cheers to that! :p

[@elwinmessey4751]

Just saw the video, its amazing. Actually all your videos are very informative and great tbh! And I really like the way you think - "Focus on what you're here for - meat , meat" ... Exactly like me. hahaha lol

[@DaveMani]

Haha thanks a lot Elwin! :p

[@snn772]

That guy behind Tracey is always on the phone, I want that battery. I’ve always loved carnivore, great vibe and nightlife too.

[@DaveMani]

Yeah! Its a good vibe indeed. :)

[@broderickfall]

My family and I have been patrons of this restaurant since the mid-80s. One thing I can say is that it's vastly different from what it used to be. due to new regulations, they no longer offer a lot of game meat that made this restaurant one of the world's top 50. Meats like wildebeest zebra and buffalo are sadly no longer on the menu. the seating is a lot more cramped these days, but that was to be expected. all in all, still perfect for a Sunday afternoon out, but gods do I miss 90s carnivore. thanks for the amazing content bro!

[@DaveMani]

Yeah, this is what many people told me. It is no longer what it was in the 80s and 90s.

[@broderickfall]

@@DaveMani still, the Tamarind Group have several amazing and unique restaurants here in Kenya. Would recommend their Dhow restaurant in the coast next time you're here

[@Truthinmatrix]

Atlanta is watching..I love it

[@DaveMani]

Thanks!!!!

[@desteriusshitsamamulama828]

Carnivore is way older to have been opened in 1999. As a young student in the mid 90s Carnivore was the place to be on a good Friday.

[@DaveMani]

You're right! I don't know why some website are saying 1999. It actually opened in September 1980. My bad, I just pinned a comment to correct myself.

[@ladysafari01]

I knew teenagers who used to sneak out there in the 80's.

Wow You really guys really hit the dart this time. Carnivore looked interesting hope the food was good too.❤

[@DaveMani]

The food was pretty good for sure!!

[@janechadwick2635]

This is used as a time filling location, by UK tour companies, when the last flight from the Mara gets you to Nairobi many hours before your departure flight. We were very unimpressed, both with the food and the service, and would have been much happier to have gone to a much nicer restaurant, or even a hotel to fill the time. Off to Botswana in 10days, I can't wait 😊

[@DaveMani]

Well if you are looking for a nicer restaurant m, next time try Talisman not too far from Carnivore. Otherwise, enjoy Botswana. 👍🏼

Delicious!!!

[@corylions8299]

Love the food at Carnivore and sitting outside. It was fun to watch my travel group's reactions to vervets who came to play in the trees near us. If anyone leaves Carnivore hungry, they've done something wrong ;-)

[@DaveMani]

Haha I agree! They literally have infinite meat! 🤣

[@kagishomashiloane3630]

Dear Dave. We love you in Africa. Please tell Tracy that in Africa, South Africa especially. Chicken livers, gizzard, feet, necks and intestine have always been the so called "economic" portions that most families living below the bread line have preferred. I personally love those portions because I grew up enjoying them. Give the livers a try. My favorite Italian restaurant in Sandton specializes in chicken livers and Italian bread. Hint hints

[@DaveMani]

What's the name of that restaurant? :)

[@kagishomashiloane3630]

Casa Bella at Monte Casino. They are amazing

[@kagishomashiloane3630]

You can find the chicken livers as a starter under their "Date Night" menu. It seem to be a popular starter.

[@oscar-kibet]

Jumping into memory lane where my father savoured the delectable game cuisines from this iconic restaurant. Let's revive those rich flavors and gastronomic adventures. Stay tuned to a culinary journey unparalleled.

[@DaveMani]

We will for sure! We already did one about the restaurant too.

[@martino6205]

You should also try The Lord Erroll restaurant.

[@DaveMani]

Yeah, we are trying but they are not answering us. We simply want to confirm with them that we can film. Since it's a "fancier" spot, we don't want to show up there with our camera and be turned around...

[@daviddavis7959]

They should have a dedicated farm raising buffalo, zebra, impala, or any other wild game.

[@DaveMani]

Yeah! That would be great.

[@bengooner6096]

Then they will no longer be wild game.

[@alphaomega1610]

Sacre bleu!! You had to call the holy crocodile an alligator? Unforgivable! Anyways, Carnivore is a national treasure. They do have concerts playing from time to time. Great place. Always nice to watch your videos.

Well to be honest that mistake was all on Tracey! 🤣🤣🤣

[@Johndoe1y]

I used to devour game meat there in the 90's. I stopped going when game meat was banned 😢. I loved the place though. It was also a famous for it's disco😂.

Haha I heard it was quite something back in the days. Even tho they don't have as much meat as before, what they have is pretty good. 👍🏼

[@lifeiseverything9]

What was the price tag please, you didn't tell us

Carnivore is the most overated restaurant in Nairobi. Terrible food, terrible ambiance. Pretty sad that you guys are objective on the reviews you are making.

[@DaveMani]

I really think that we are objective. We are not paid for those reviews therefor, we have nothing to gain by saying that something is good if it is not. We simply think that it is a gun place to go with friends, and that most, not all, the meat was good. That is all.
