About Us
Our "field-to-fork" philosophy means ethically sourced, sustainably
reared beef, aged with real craft—from 3-week wet-aged primals to 100-day dry-aged wingribs and T-bones.
Depending on availability, we showcase four remarkable breeds, including Boran, Pure Black Angus, and rare Wagyu-Boran crossbreeds, each with its own distinct flavor.
Curious diners can even book our signature Beef Experience, a guided tasting through different cuts, ages, and cooking methods.
Beyond steak, the menu wanders further—chicken mushkaki, grilled octopus, lamb shank, ostrich, and vegetarian standouts like mushroom risotto—finished off with an exquisite assortment of desserts.
Our bar matches the ambition of the kitchen: signature cocktails like the Smoked Boulevardier, an extensive wine list from South Africa, Argentina, Italy, and France, and a vast whisky collection.
Come for the beef, stay for the atmosphere: a warm, earthy space where good company, great meat, and a well-poured drink come together.
Whether it's a date night, a celebration, or a long lunch with friends, The Local Grill is where Kenya's best beef becomes an occasion.
