Mbuni Choma
Grilled Ostrich Meat (Keto-style)
Yes, keto as served. About 2g net carbs per serving, lower than 9 in 10 Kenyan dishes.
What it is
Succulent pieces of ostrich meat grilled to perfection over open flame, seasoned simply with salt and pepper. A lean and flavorful option, served without traditional carb sides like ugali or chapati, focusing on the pure meat taste.
Key ingredients
Ostrich meat, salt, black pepper, minimal cooking oil for grilling (or none if grilled directly).
Optional tweaks
Confirm no marinades containing sugar, honey, or other high-carb ingredients are used. Request plain grilled with salt and pepper only. Pair with a side of kachumbari (ensuring no sugar) or sautéed greens if available.
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in marinades, cross-contamination with carb-heavy items on the grill.
