      @@nightnyungwe5945 Oh I'm sure that many, many folks in Nairobi would never eat at a roadside makeshift eatery like that. It is my understanding that they are illegal because of the many obvious health violations. I wanted to try to cross it off my bucket list. There is nothing healthy nor sanitary about it but given that this is not going to be a common occurrence, I wanted to give it a try. Did you happen to see the Diani food review video? That's more my style of eating. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/K6dQYceeM5c/v-deo.html

      Hi Ben. Help me solve it. Is that type of business called a Kibanda or Kibandaski?

    • @alexchui3511
      @alexchui3511 Рік тому

      Either applies. Original word is kibanda which means a makeshift eatery structure but youths also came along with the name kibandaski to make is sound cool/popular. In truth though, kibanda is more of a makeshift restaurant and that one was open air eatery but I guess the name still applies. Another fact, legally they are outlawed because of hygiene issues but no one really enforces the by-laws. Once in a while, the authorities enforce the law and destroy the vibandas (plural for kibanda) and the cycle repeats itself.
