About

Karamu means feast. For eleven years we have cooked for weddings of 50 to 1,200 guests: pilau and nyama choma, coastal biryani, continental buffets and vegetarian menus that nobody feels left out of. Our own trained waiters serve, we bring every chafing dish and plate, and we give you a tasting for four before you sign anything.

    Thank you Mercy! Chef Hamisi says hello.

    The food was good, but service started almost an hour late and some guests left before dessert.

    Chebet, we are truly sorry. Our truck broke down near Eldama Ravine and we didn't tell you soon enough. We've refunded part of the balance and now send a backup vehicle on every trip over 150 km.
