Short Description

A warm, helpful guide on choosing the best meat cuts for soft, juicy ugali meals in Nairobi.

A Nairobi Classic We All Love

There’s something magical about ugali and meat.
It’s simple… but powerful.
It’s one of the meals that brings everyone to the table without negotiation.

But the truth is:
The choice of meat determines whether the meal is unforgettable or just average.

Let’s help you make it unforgettable.

1. Beef Fillet — When You Want It Super Tender

Soft, lean, and cooks fast.
Perfect for:

• pan-frying

• light stews

• searing

It melts beautifully next to ugali.

2. Beef Gishiri — The Stew Hero

If you want that deep, traditional taste, this is the cut.

Why Nairobi loves it:
✔ Strong flavour
✔ Perfect for slow cooking
✔ Builds that thick, rich stew that hugs your ugali

3. Goat Meat — For That Real Kenyan Taste

Goat + ugali = unbeatable.

Great for:

• boiling

• wet fry

• spicy stews

• weekend family meals

4. Chicken Thighs — Affordable and Always Juicy

They never dry out.
They work with onions, tomatoes, pilipili… anything.

A perfect weekday comfort meal.

5. Lamb Ribs — When You Want a Soft, Fatty, Rich Taste

This is the “treat yourself” cut.
Soft.
Rich.
Unforgettable.
