Nairobi’s Ranalo is one of the most popular eateries, serving a wide variety of traditional foods from the Luo ethnic community to which Osewe the proprietor belongs, as well as modern dishes. Regular customers at Ranalo swear that the place serves some of the most delicious traditional foods in the country, if not in the entire eastern African region.

The place has a welcoming ambience and a mix of customers that reflects both Kenya’s multi-ethnic composition and its position as a globally popular tourist destination.

Ranalo is now a well established restaurant in Nairobi, and Osewe has replicated his successful enterprise elsewhere within the capital city and in Kisumu. He has plans to establish similar restaurants in other major urban centres in Kenya, such as Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, Embu and Machakos.
