Nairobi’s food scene is set for a 10-day celebration as Burger Week, the city’s largest burger-focused dining campaign, officially kicked off on Thursday, August 27, bringing together more than 400 restaurants across the capital.
Running until September 6, the annual campaign is designed to give Nairobians an opportunity to explore the city’s diverse restaurant scene through one of its most popular foods.
Participating eateries will offer special burger experiences throughout the festival, encouraging diners to discover new establishments, revisit familiar favourites and uncover lesser-known dining spots.
Participating restaurants include KFC, Artcaffe, Chicken Inn, Burger King, Big Square, Galitos, Kukito, Ole Sereni, Kempinski and Eka Hotel, among others.
During the 10-day campaign, diners will be able to find participating restaurants and their Burger Week offers through the Eat Out website and Instagram page.
The 2026 edition has attracted support from partners spanning the food, beverage, mobility, delivery and payments sectors. Their involvement is aimed at supporting participating restaurants while adding value for consumers throughout the campaign.
Cheese Love and Kenafric, through its Kingsmill brand, are providing participating kitchens with promotional pricing on selected premium ingredients.
Clique is also supporting restaurants with more than 700 discounted products to help ease operational costs during the festival.
EABL is supporting the campaign with draught beer pairings intended to complement signature burgers at participating venues.
Coca-Cola is also part of this year’s celebration, extending beverage support across the participating food and hospitality businesses.
For customers choosing to enjoy Burger Week from home, Uber Eats and Glovo are offering exclusive discounts and free-delivery promotions.
Uber is additionally supporting diners travelling to participating restaurants, with guests eligible for discounts of up to 50 per cent on rides to and from participating venues.
Diners paying at participating outlets will also receive an added incentive through Safaricom M-PESA’s instant Airtime Rewards.
The campaign comes as food discovery in Nairobi continues to evolve, with recommendations from friends, food creators and online communities playing an increasingly important role in shaping where people choose to eat.
Conversations around new restaurants and hidden gems have become an increasingly visible part of the city’s dining culture.
“Food is increasingly becoming one of the ways people discover and experience Nairobi. We see people constantly sharing where they have eaten, recommending hidden gems and encouraging others to try new places,” said Wendy Lorenze, General Manager of Eat Out Kenya.
“Burger Week brings that spirit of discovery into one shared experience, giving people a reason to explore restaurants they may not have visited before while celebrating the diversity of Nairobi’s food scene,” she added.
