Mama Rocks at the Alchemist Bar

Nairobi


Nairobi's first and best food truck is very cool. With an African take on burgers and a location primed and ready for Westlands' night-time crowd, Mama Rocks' highlight is the Mango Masai Mama, a burger topped with mango, chilli-mango sauce and sweet roasted bell peppers. Samantha and Natalie keep things ticking over.
