Chicken meets fire.
Charcoal-grilled chicken, glossy glazes and Kenyan comfort plates shaped for Kisii lunches, takeaways and family tables.
Freshly grilled - boldly glazed - made to share
Sister enterprise
Meet Kabayaki.
Kabayaki-style tilapia and Nile perch, flame-finished and served with ugali.
Kabayaki grows beside KukuYaki with the same fire-led discipline, but turns the grill toward lake fish, sweet-soy glaze, ugali plates, bento-inspired servings, and family meals.
Our Fire
Simple food, carefully grilled.
KukuYaki brings together a familiar Kenyan favourite and the focused simplicity of Japanese grilling. "Kuku" means chicken; "yaki" means grilled.
The result is straightforward: carefully seasoned chicken, cooked over heat and served hot, smoky and easy to share.
