meat cooked underground Tinaar

Welcome to Hooyo's Kitchen, where we bring you a truly unique culinary experience with our underground-cooked goat meat known as Tinaar. Our tradition involves slow-cooking goat meat underground for many hours, allowing the flavors to fully develop and the meat to become tender enough to fall off the bone. This authentic method, pioneered at Hooyo's Kitchen, is the first of its kind in Nairobi, offering a taste of traditional Somali cooking that’s been passed down through generations, inspired by our owners’ mother's recipes.


You can savor the meat straight from the Tinaar, marinated overnight for maximum flavor, or try our Aroosto version—meat from the Tinaar fried with onions, green peppers, and Somali spices called xawaash for an aromatic twist. Each order comes with a complimentary soup and your choice of Somali Rice, Mandi Rice, or White Rice. Feel free to substitute with Ugali or Chapati — whatever best complements your meal.


Come and experience this distinctive culinary tradition that brings history and flavor to your plate at Hooyo's Kitchen!
