I recently went on a culinary trip to taste camel produce-meat and milk. My curiosity took me to a restaurant dubbed Kulan Cuisine and Coffee along Kaunda Street in Nairobi’s CBD. Owned by a family of Kenyan-Somalis, Kulan which translates to ‘place to eat’ has two locations. The first one situated in Eastleigh offers a wider range of Somali cuisine compared to the second eatery in the CBD.
Their menu features various dishes with camel meat such as camel balls, camel curry, camel steak, camel kebab, stir-fry, meatballs, burgers and more. They also serve other dishes including chicken, seafood, pasta, as well as Somali meals including dhaylo arosto (slow-roasted tender goat meat), kostato (slow boiled camel meat) as well as Ethiopian dishes.
