Welcome To Swahili Food
Mshikaki are small, succulent pieces of meat that are skewered and roasted over charcoal. They’re marinated before being cooked and this packs them with a lovely, juicy flavor. The charcoal gives them a slightly smoky taste which when coupled with the marinade makes them mouthwatering and oh, so irresistible.

The best accompaniment is garlic, buttered naan bread. I am being very specific here. Not chapati, which would still go well, and not plain naan but garlic, buttered naan. This will have you humming as you eat your food.
In Mombasa you can sit on the side of the road in a place called Makadara and have these for just 10 bob per stick. With 200 Kshs which is about 2 dollars you’ll get your naan and mishkaki and be stuffed and happy
