Our review Why we like KFC Buruburu
This branch sits right inside Buruburu’s everyday routines. It catches everyone: parents running errands at the centre, students grabbing fries, groups splitting a bucket before heading home. The room is almost always alive, but service stays brisk and focused on getting orders out quickly.
You are here for exactly what KFC does best: crispy chicken, seasoned fries, wraps, burgers and the occasional limited-time promo. Seating is straightforward, with just enough space to eat in if you do not feel like taking your food home. It is a convenient stop whether you live in Buru, are visiting friends or passing through on the way to town.
- Easy to reach inside Buruburu Shopping Centre, close to matatus and taxis.

- Quick service geared around takeaway, with enough seating for dine-in.
- Good stop before or after shopping, classes or visiting friends in the estate.
When to go
Lunchtime is busy with shoppers and workers grabbing quick meals. Early evening is peak bucket time for friends and families. Late night stays active on weekends, when people stop by after plans in town or around the estate.
What to order
Streetwise combos and family buckets are the easiest way to feed a group. If you are solo, a burger or twister wrap with fries is reliable. Add wings if you want something to share at the table while you wait for the main order.
SnappyHour tips
- Check SnappyHour for bundle offers or off-peak discounts, especially if you are feeding a group.
- Time your visit just before peak lunch or dinner to avoid the longest queues.
- Pair your visit with other errands in the centre so you can grab your order on the way out.
Popular menu picks
The Streetwise range, Zinger burgers, hot wings and shared buckets move fastest here. Sides like fries, coleslaw and soft drinks round out most orders. On busy evenings, you will see plenty of families splitting large buckets.
