Nairobi Burger Week Is Back and Over 400 Restaurants Are Ready for You

Nairobi's biggest burger celebration is officially back. Nairobi Burger Week launched on 26 August 2026, bringing together more than 400 restaurants for ten days of burger experiences, dining discovery and good reason to get out and eat across the city. The campaign runs from 27 August to 6 September 2026, and the scope of it this year is hard to ignore.

Whether you have a long list of restaurants you have been meaning to try, a neighbourhood favourite you return to on principle, or a hidden gem you want to finally share with someone else, this is the moment the city gives you a proper excuse.

Why Nairobi Burger Week Keeps Growing

The timing of this year's edition reflects something real about how Nairobi eats now. Food discovery has become genuinely social. Recommendations from friends, food creators and online communities shape where people choose to go, and conversations around new dining spots and hidden gems have become part of the city's everyday culture.

Nairobi Burger Week taps directly into that energy, channelling it into one shared citywide experience. 

Wendy Lorenze, General Manager of Eat Out Kenya, put it well: 

"Food is increasingly becoming one of the ways people discover and experience Nairobi. Burger Week brings that spirit of discovery into one shared experience, giving people a reason to explore restaurants they may not have visited before."

Eat Out, the restaurant discovery and dining platform connecting consumers with restaurants and food experiences across Africa, runs the campaign annually. Participating restaurants and their Burger Week offers can be found through the Eat Out website and Instagram page throughout the ten days.

The Partners Making It Happen

The 2026 edition comes with a strong partner ecosystem that adds real value at every touchpoint of the experience. Cheese Love and Kenafric via Kingsmill are offering participating kitchens exclusive promotional pricing on premium ingredients, while Clique is supporting venues with over 700 discounted products to help operations run smoothly during what is, for many restaurants, one of their busiest stretches of the year.

EABL joins as the official beverage partner, bringing draught beer pairings designed to complement signature burgers across the city. Coca-Cola also joins the 2026 edition as an official beverage partner, extending the celebration across Nairobi's food and hospitality scene.

For those enjoying Burger Week from home, Uber Eats and Glovo are powering the on-demand experience with exclusive consumer discounts and free delivery promotions. Uber is also supporting mobility during the festival with up to 50% off rides to and from participating restaurant locations. And for diners paying at participating venues, Safaricom M-PESA is offering instant airtime rewards, making every meal that little bit more worthwhile.

How to Make the Most of Ten Days

The appeal of Nairobi Burger Week has always been its simplicity. You show up, you eat well, you discover something new. With more than 400 restaurants participating across the city, the range of experiences on offer spans every neighbourhood, price point and style of burger Nairobi has to offer.
