The dining experience at Carnivore is centered around the concept of "all-you-can-eat" meat. Upon arrival, guests are seated and presented with a selection of soups and salads. The main attraction, however, is the continuous service of various meats, which are roasted on traditional Maasai swords over a large charcoal pit.

The meats served include beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and a variety of exotic game meats such as ostrich and crocodile, depending on availability. The meats are carved at the table by skilled waitstaff, and diners can enjoy as much as they desire until they signal they are finished by lowering a small flag on their table.

The Charcoal Pit[edit | edit source]
