With so many restaurants in Nairobi, all tastes and budgets are catered for. This diverse city has a truly international flavour and is a paradise for food lovers. Most of Nairobi's medium sized restaurants specialise in curries. Very notable exceptions are one or two good swahili restaurants and the popular African Heritage. The city has famously good beef and other fleshy delights and so, if you enjoy it, indulge here.

Not surprisingly, however, Nairobi has no great national dishes: the living standards of the majority of people do not allow for frills and food is generally plain and filling. For culinary arts though, a diverse culture can be found in Nairobi from local dishes to foreign delicacies.
