Our review Why we like Sizzle & Friet
Sizzle & Friet feels like a focused answer to one question: “Where can we get good fries and something satisfying on the side?” The menu orbits around burgers, fried chicken and a range of loaded fries with toppings that go from simple to fully over-the-top.
The setting is casual and relaxed, with music in the background and a pace that suits small groups, couples and solo diners who just want a quick fix. If you are already on Langata Road — heading home, going out or visiting one of the nearby attractions — it works as an easy stop for a filling meal.
- Strong focus on fries, burgers and chicken with bold flavours and generous portions.
- Casual, street-food feel that suits relaxed hangouts rather than formal dining.
- Good for groups of friends who want to share different loaded fries and sides.
- Takeaway-friendly menu if you are on the move along Langata Road.
When to go
Lunchtime is busy but fun, with a quick-turn crowd. Early evening works well for relaxed meals before heading out, while later hours lean into the classic “we just want something tasty” craving after a long day.
What to order
Start with one of the signature loaded fries, then add a burger or fried chicken if you are hungry. If you are sharing, order different toppings for the fries and trade across the table to taste more of the menu.
SnappyHour tips
- Check SnappyHour for combo deals on fries, burgers and drinks during quieter times.

Popular menu picks
Guests tend to rotate between cheese-smothered fries, chilli-loaded options, crispy chicken strips and stacked burgers. Soft drinks and milkshakes are natural companions, especially if you go heavy on spice and sauce.
Fun little detail
The whole concept turns the humble chips order into the main act. Instead of fries sitting on the side of a plate, they arrive as the centrepiece, buried under sauces, cheese, herbs and toppings chosen to match the Kenyan love of flavour.

Thanks to its position along Langata Road, it pulls in a mixed crowd: locals from the neighbourhood, people passing through after errands in town and groups on their way to or from nearby attractions and hangout spots.
Facilities & extras What to expect
Simple, comfortable seating designed for laid-back meals rather than long working sessions. Expect a mix of small tables and group-friendly spots.
