    Thank you for watching this ultimate Kenyan street food tour in Nairobi! I met up with my friend James who took me around to a few of his favorite spots to eat.
    Kawangware, Nairobi, Kenya
    Here's most of the food we tried on this amazing tour of Nairobi:
    Ann Restaurant - Dagoretti Corner - This small street food stall on Dagoretti Corner in Nairobi serves all sorts of Kenyan / East African foods. Their chapatis are especially good, and their Lake Victoria sardines fried with tomatoes.
    Chapati
    Dagaa - Lake Victoria sardine
    Matumbo - stomach stew
    Githeri - beans and maize
    The guy sitting across the table - “you should not eat beans and sardines together, or you’ll have gas.”
    Total bill - 1,050 KES ($10.39) - we paid for 4 or 5 guys eating there
    Stomach Clinix - This was the best food stop of the day, a neighborhood meat shop that James took me to that specializes in cow head soup. The grilled tongue was also spectacular, but the soup was the best.
    Total price - 200 KES ($1.98)
    Dagoretti Market - After the meat, we took a walk over to Dagoretti Market. After browsing around for a while, we stopped for another plate of mixed Kenyan food, mostly dengu, which are mung beans. It was simple, but quite good.
    Dengu - mung beans
    Total price - 300 KES ($2.97)
    Unity Cafe Hotel - We met up with some of James' friend in Kawangware, and went to eat across the street from their shoe shop. The mandazi mix was the highlight of this Kenyan meal.
    Total price - 600 KES ($5.94) for all
    Cow foot fry - Next we headed over to Oscar who makes cow food soup, fry and boil. He was a very friendly man, and showed me his entire process of making cow foot soup. It was delicious!
    Total price - 450 KES ($4.45)
    Kenyan street food - To end this Kenyan street food tour of Nairobi we had to eat one of the ultimate Kenyan fast food meat treats. You'll see these types of grills all over the streets in the late afternoon throughout Nairobi. You just choose what you want, it's cut on the chopping board, and you stand and eat.
    Esophagus
    Intestines
    Mutura - minced meat sausage
    Mutura - blood sausage
    Udder
    Total price - 200 KES ($1.97)
    Thank you for watching this ultimate Nairobi street food tour!

    With all due respect. I have a lot of respect for Mark because I could tell there were probably some foods he didn’t like at all but he’s so kind, respectful and cautious of what he says so he’s not disrespecting anyone’s culture. Thank you Mark for your politeness and positivity. You are a example on how one should respect other people’s cultures!

      I don't like that they put the hot and boiling soups in the plastic bottles, the traditional way years ago probably had the soups prepared in their native jugs made from clay or something but then plastic was introduced and they probably found it easier to use and are unaware of the dangers lurking in some heated plastics ....

      75% of Kenyans? your stats are misleading. 60% of Kenyans live in Rural areas [with better hygienic organic food], 40% live in the cities (Kenya National Bureau of Statistics, 2017), at most only 20% of those in the cities reside in slums. It is this 20% poor that mark decided to visit - majority of Kenyans can't even visit those places he went to, not because of their 'choice of food' but mostly for lack of security

    As a Mexican, it was really cool seeing how some of these Kenyan dishes were similar to some Mexican dishes. It was thrilling to see other cultures enjoy the same parts of the cow that my culture likes. If anyone is curious of which dishes I'm referring to, it's the cow tongue with chili. In my culture we love to eat cow tongue in tacos with salsa. There was also the dish that had rice and beans with beef stew. In my culture we have a similar dish that is a beef stew that is cooked with tomatoes and green chilies. It is also served with rice and beans.

      NADHII TRANSPORT, you are partially correct. If you are accustomed to eating foods served in unhygienic conditions your stomach already has bacteria that will take care of business and you will not get sick. Cooking kills the harmful bacteria, it is the dirty plates, knives, forks, hands, etc. that transmit the bacteria that will cause problems.
      However, if you are from a developed country and have never been exposed to foods served in those conditions in the video, I can guarantee you will not be going out the next day. When I was a kid, I ate at those places.
      Today, after many years in the US, I will pass. I don't want stuff happening to me.

    Thanks Mark for making me nostalgic..I have greatest memories of my life in Nairobi..I actually enjoyed every moment of my life when I was in Nairobi in 2014. The Kenyan people are great and lovable. Especially I always liked the Indian food they have prepared. I was literally amazed to taste the Indian food because many of the Indian also can’t prepare that kind of taste. The chapati is a pure Indian food and as Indians are living there for many years, many Indian food items have become part of their plate.
    Thanks again for giving me a video tour of Nairobi..

      The family then moved to the Democratic Republic of Congo, where they stayed for about three and a half years. Mark was homeschooled during this period. The family moved to Nairobi, Kenya, after war broke out in DRC. Mark completed his high school education in an International School in Kenya.
