Mishkaki is a popular East African street food consisting of marinated meat skewers grilled over charcoal until tender and smoky. Widely enjoyed across Kenya, especially in coastal regions and urban centers, Mishkaki is a favorite at barbecues, gatherings, and roadside food stalls. 

Traditionally made with beef, goat, or chicken, the meat is marinated in a flavorful blend of garlic, ginger, lemon juice, and spices before being threaded onto skewers and grilled. The result is juicy, aromatic meat with a delicious smoky char. Mishkaki is often served with kachumbari, chapati, fries, or spicy sauces, making it a versatile and satisfying meal or snack. 

This beloved Kenyan dish reflects the rich grilling traditions of East Africa and is enjoyed by people of all ages.
