The dining room at Chiyo quiets as daylight fades; rice-paper screens soften the city’s edges and bamboo fronds shift with the restaurant’s ventilation. At the teppanyaki table a chef’s wrist flicks, oil hisses, and sushi is assembled with deliberate calm—this is a dinner that moves from careful culinary craft to high-energy performance by night.

Nairobi sits on a high plateau (about 1,795 m) that made it a crossroads for international cuisine; Japanese and Korean restaurants here reflect decades of diplomatic and business exchange. After a multi-course dinner—sashimi, teppanyaki theater, or a steaming Korean casserole—guests are driven to the nearby Nyama Choma area for the Safari Cats Dancers & Acrobats. The show leans into raw physicality and bold costuming, borrowing elements of contemporary African dance and acrobatics to create a striking late-night spectacle.
Expect an itinerary that runs roughly five hours total: dinner service followed by a roughly one-hour performance between 21:00–22:00. The operator includes pickup and drop-off within Nairobi; dress code is smart casual. Practical details matter here—arrive hungry but pace yourself at the teppanyaki station, flag dietary restrictions ahead of booking, and allocate time for evening Nairobi traffic.
For travelers, this is a paired experience of culinary technique and urban performance: part restaurant theater, part live-culture dive. Bring a light jacket for cooler Nairobi evenings, confirm your pickup point, and leave room for post-show nightlife if you want to keep the evening going.
Yes—transport within Nairobi is included; you will be asked to provide a pickup point and time during booking.
The cat dance show is scheduled for approximately 21:00–22:00 after dinner; schedule can vary slightly so confirm with the operator.
Families can attend; infants must sit on an adult’s lap and the venue notes the program is physically easy, but judge suitability by your child’s tolerance for late-night activity.
You should notify dietary requirements when booking. The kitchen can often provide vegetarian options; halal certification is not guaranteed—ask the operator ahead of time.
