Masai Choma House brings Kenyan cooking to Swindon, offering something quite different from what you'd typically find across the Cotswolds.
The restaurant specializes in choma, which is meat grilled over an open flame until it develops that distinctive smoky char. You'll find generous portions of goat, beef, and chicken, served with traditional sides like ugali, kachumbari, and chapati that complete the meal properly.
It's the sort of place where you can settle in with friends or family for a substantial meal that sits well away from standard English restaurant fare. The open-flame cooking happens right in front of you, so you're getting authentic preparation rather than anything manufactured.
Swindon sits on the eastern edge of the Cotswolds and works well as a base for exploring further afield. The town has good connections to the North Wiltshire downs, and you're only a short drive from places like Cirencester if you want to venture deeper into the region. It's worth stopping here if you're passing through Swindon anyway, or even worth making a deliberate detour if you fancy something genuinely different for dinner. The meal alone justifies the trip.
