Last weekend, I decided to indulge in a culinary adventure at Roasters Inn located on the bustling Garden Estate Road. As soon as I stepped inside, I was instantly embraced by the inviting aroma of grilled meats and the warm, vibrant atmosphere that felt like home.
Roasters Inn is popularly known as a nyama choma haven, and I could see why. I arrived around 5 PM, just in time to catch the lively vibe as families and friends gathered around tables, laughter and chatter blending beautifully with the sizzle of marinated meats on the grill. The staff was friendly and welcoming, making sure our experience was as delightful as their menu.
After perusing the menu, I was particularly drawn to their signature dish: the 1 kg Nyama Choma, priced at a reasonable KSh 1,500. I placed my order and was eagerly anticipating the first bite. While waiting, I couldn’t help but notice how well the waiters managed the bustling environment. One in particular, James, stood out. He was attentive and full of recommendations, ensuring everyone was having a great time.
When my nyama choma arrived, it was a feast for the eyes. The beautifully grilled meat was served with a side of ugali and kachumbari, making it a classic Kenyan meal. The first bite was an explosion of flavors; the meat was juicy, tender, and perfectly seasoned with a smoky char that was simply irresistible. I understood why so many reviewers rave about this dish—it’s not just a meal, it’s an experience!
I also decided to try their grilled tilapia, which cost KSh 800. It was equally impressive, served fresh and with just the right amount of spices that enhanced rather than overwhelmed the natural flavors of the fish. The crispy skin and tender meat paired excellently with a side of light and refreshing kachumbari. Many patrons emphasized the freshness of their seafood, and I wholeheartedly agree—it was cooked to perfection!
Finally, to quench my thirst, I opted for a passion fruit soda priced at KSh 200. It was sweet, tangy, and incredibly refreshing, serving as the perfect complement to my hearty meal. After finishing my plates, I felt satisfied—not just because of the food, but because I had experienced the vibe of Roasters Inn.
If you’re in the area of Garden Estate Road and looking for a place to enjoy authentic nyama choma, I cannot recommend Roasters Inn enough. With their affordable prices, friendly service, and incredible food, it’s definitely a hidden gem that deserves more attention. Make sure to ask for James when you go; his recommendations made my visit even more enjoyable!
Next time I crave grilled delights, I know exactly where to return.
