Our review Why we like KFC Westgate
KFC Westgate is exactly what you expect from the brand, placed in one of Nairobi’s most familiar malls. It is busy, bright and straightforward: order at the counter, grab a table and dig into fried chicken while you decide what to do next in Westlands.
The menu covers everything from solo snack boxes to big sharing buckets for families and groups. There are burgers, wings, fries, soft drinks and ice cream, with the usual KFC sides and sauces. It is not a slow, lingering meal kind of place, but it works perfectly for “simple, fast and familiar”.

- Ideal for families, teens, groups of friends and quick solo meals.

When to go
Lunchtime and early evenings are the busiest, especially on weekends and cinema days. If you prefer a quieter moment, aim for mid-morning, mid-afternoon or later in the evening when mall traffic thins out.
What to order
For solo visits, a burger meal, snack box or 3-piece chicken and chips is the simplest move. For groups, go straight to a sharing bucket with a mix of pieces, wings and fries so everyone can grab what they like.

- Order slightly ahead of peak showtime rush if you are eating before a film upstairs.
