The city is full of places to eat, and
street food
is much better - and more available - than in Nairobi. During the day, you can get green coconuts (drink the coconut water, then scrape out and eat the jelly-like flesh); sugar cane juice, freshly wrung from the cane; and cuplets of
kahawa thungu
(thick bitter coffee, usually flavoured with ginger).
By the bus stalls up Abdel Nasser Road and along Jomo Kenyatta Avenue and Mwembe Tayeri Road, you'll also find
miraa
. Street stalls farther afield, along Nyrere Avenue for example, sell freshly fried potato crisps and cassava. Many stalls (mostly open at night) offer what amount to full meals for under Ksh100, including
nyama choma
(roast meat),
muhogo wa nazi, samaki wa kupaka, chapati, marondo
, and pilau. Try the spicy little kebabs (sometimes chicken, and called "chicken tikka" anyway). Some also sell cigarettes, sodas, and
miraa
. As well as around the bus termini on Abdel Nasser Road and along Jomo Kenyatta Avenue, you'll find them outside
Casablanca Day & Night Club
, nearby on Mnazi Moja Road, at the junction of Nkrumah, Digo and Moi Avenue at
Salambo Disco
, and further north on Digo Road outside the market. Other useful information
