Sampling the food eaten by locals is often about more than just satisfying appetites. It offers a glimpse into the regional character.

Those who who are not quite satisfied, can order chilled banana cream, the perfect way to complete your Kenya culinary experience. To complete your experience, try a Picana (mango juice). It is a common non-alcoholic beverage in this region.
