    The only part i dont agree with you is getting halal restaurant can be difficult. The best statement would be getting a 5 star Halal restaurant in Nairobi is difficult or High end for that matter. Ask Muslims where they eat and its 100% Halal and you will get at least 10 places within Nairobi alone.

    I love that halal food is getting more fine dining and also in diff places in the city. Years back, to get halal food I used to go to South C estate because there was a higher Muslim population than where I lived at the time. Fun story, a close friend back in high school, told me halal food is pretty much like the food I eat and I didn't believe her. It's when I visited her and got more educated on both the culture and religion that I understood her. I'm not a Muslim but I do enjoy diff cuisines and cooking styles/methods. I hope to a kosher restaurant in Kenya one day.

    • @DaveMani
      @DaveMani  Před 3 měsíci

    Its always shocked me how halal food is not as widespread in Kenya in general and Nairobi considering the large sizable Muslim Kenyans there I heard its almost half of the population there so its good to see more option for practicing Muslims as we really suffer in the west so much and always have to opt for the vegan options in Non Halal restaurants as even fish nowadays is cooked in pork oil or alcohol :( *tears*

      There is a considerable population of Muslims in North Eastern Kenya (Somali dominated region), Nairobi and large parts of Coast of Kenya. Most halal foods and meat are to be found in areas where these populations live, mostly in the working class areas and a few upscale areas. You just have to know where to look. And no, the Muslim population in Kenya is 11% not anywhere near 50%.

In fact, Kenya Meat Comission follows halal slaughter process, which makes almost all non private meat in Kenya are considered halal, as long as the meat is from halal animal e.g NOT from pig, dogs, carnivores, lizards, etc...
