The Top Ten Burger Joints in Nairobi

 

Urban Gourmet

 

Known for their extravagant speciality burgers, Urban Gourmet is definitely the place to go to when one is looking to satisfy a burger craving. They ensure that their burgers have juicy, perfectly-seasoned patties smothered in perfectly melted smoked cheddar and perched atop a bun so soft you could get lost in it.Whether it’s their massive Texan burger lined with a fried egg. or the snooty French Connection burger served up with blue cheese, Urban Gourmet has got you covered.

 

Snack Attack

 

 

 

Typically Snack Attack is renown for their amazing chicken and loaded fries - but did you know that they also make delicious burgers? Their crispy, crunchy chicken burgers are a must try. The burgers are only available at their branch at Adams Arcade - their Westlands branch doesn’t offer burgers, but we’re still hopeful!

 

Big Square

 

 

 

Most people who go to Big Square go there for their ribs. Big Square serves up burgers of every variety- apart from pork- but a few of their burgers have a bacon option to them. Their meal combos are always worth it, though a burger and a shake will ensure you’re set for a week.

 

Strollers Haven

 

 

Unlike the other eateries, Strollers Haven is not an out and out franchise. It is a small neighbourhood eatery based in Kileleshwa. Many people who frequent this establishment for drinks do not realise how amazing their food is, especially their burgers, which are larger than most people can handle but definitely worth the challenge.

 

Sirville Brewery

 

 

 

Although this eatery in Langata is quite the distance away it’s definitely worth the trip, with their succulent burger offerings and more than generous portions. There are a variety of burgers and toppings to choose from as well as tasty sides and their in-house beer to wash it all down.

 

Steers

 

 

 

Sometimes you’re in a hurry, and that often means you’re relegated to a sloppily-wrapped burger that tastes like cardboard. However if you want a quick fix, this South African franchise is the go to place for flame grilled goodness. The flavour that the grill infuses in their burgers in particular is scrumptious, and the prices are low enough that you can pair one with the classic chocolate milkshakes..

All the beef burgers are made from freshly ground beef every day from their in house butchery. They use dry aged angus beef from their Marania farm in Timau. Because their beef is of such high quality, their burgers do not really need the extra toppings.
