Ruaka has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Nairobi, and the meat supply has not entirely kept up. There are plenty of places to buy a kilo of something near Two Rivers and along the Limuru Road corridor - and very few where you can specify how it is cut. That gap is the reason our van comes out here.
Ruaka has grown faster than almost anywhere else in Nairobi, and the meat supply has not entirely kept up. There are plenty of places to buy a kilo of something near Two Rivers and along the Limuru Road corridor - and very few where you can specify how it is cut. That gap is the reason our van comes out here.
Most of what we deliver into Ruaka goes to apartment households, and apartment living changes what a good order looks like. Freezer space is limited, so bulk buying has to be portioned properly or it simply will not fit. We pack to that: mince in meal-sized bags, chicken jointed rather than whole, larger cuts divided into what you will actually cook in one go, each bag labelled. It costs nothing extra and it is the difference between a useful order and a freezer you cannot close.
The other Ruaka pattern is the weekend. This is a young neighbourhood that entertains on balconies and in shared courtyards, and our beef mshikaki, house-made sausages and goat ribs go out here heavily on Fridays. Mshikaki needs two days in the marinade to be worth eating, so Wednesday is the day to order for a Friday grill.
Ruaka sits in the same delivery zone as Runda and Thindigua at a flat KSh 500, and we run the northern corridor together. Limuru Road is the variable - it can be twenty minutes or it can be an hour - so order by midday for same-day delivery where you can, and we will time the run around the traffic rather than through it.
We deliver throughout Ruaka and the streets around it, including near Two Rivers Mall, Limuru Road, Ruaka Town, Rosslyn Riviera, Village Market, Ndenderu and Thindigua. Give us the building or estate name, house or unit number and a phone number that will be answered, and our rider will call from the gate.
Ruaka sits north-west of the city along Limuru Road, just past Runda and close to Two Rivers Mall. From City Market we run out via Limuru Road through Muthaiga and Runda, or up Waiyaki Way and across, depending on which is moving. Journey time swings with Limuru Road traffic, which is why we ask for midday orders where possible. To collect instead, we are Stall 55 on the ground floor of City Market, Muindi Mbingu Street, beside Jamia Mosque.
Everything on our counter is available for delivery to Ruaka:
Alongside the counter, we run same-day delivery across Nairobi, wholesale and bulk supply for businesses in and around Ruaka, and nyama choma packs built around your headcount. Custom butchery - butterflying, boning, French trimming, mince ground to your preferred coarseness - comes as standard and costs nothing extra.
Build a basket on the shop page and tap "Send Order on WhatsApp", message us directly on WhatsApp, or call 0707 700511 and read your list out. Orders placed before 4:00pm are delivered the same day; a WhatsApp order sent later, at any hour, goes out the next morning.
Pick Ruaka (KSh 500) in the basket and the flat delivery fee is added to your total straight away - so the figure you see is the figure you pay, once we have confirmed the final cut weights with you. Pay by M-Pesa, cash on delivery, or on account. Full detail on delivery and payment.
