In Kenya, goat meat is preferred, but beef is also used.[3]
For authentic nyama choma, salt and pepper is added, sometimes the meat is marinated first in a mixture of onions, garlic and ground ginger, with some hot pepper and lemon juice.[3]
It is available in both roadside inns and larger restaurants. It is traditionally eaten with the fingers.[3]
The side dishes are varied, but the most classic are the salad kachumbari and ugali.[3]
