Why Matoke is the Ultimate Kenyan Breakfast
Matoke (also known as green banana stew) is a traditional delicacy enjoyed across East Africa. At Ronawi Hotel, we’ve perfected the art of preparing soft, well-cooked green bananas simmered in a rich tomato-based sauce with your choice of:
- Beef
- Chicken
- Vegetables
- Or as a vegan delight!
It’s filling, flavorful, and perfect for early mornings.
Served Fresh in the Heart of Bungoma
Located in central Bungoma, Ronawi Hotel serves freshly prepared Matoke daily from our clean and cozy kitchen. We understand the culture and cravings of our community — and nothing hits the spot like a plate of Matoke with a hot cup of tea or coffee.
Whether you’re coming from Kanduyi, Musikoma, Bukembe, or Chwele, we are easily accessible and always ready to serve you hot, home-style Matoke.

Our recipe is simple, authentic, and rooted in tradition. We use:
- Unripe green bananas (Matoke)
- Ripe tomatoes
- Red onions
- Garlic & ginger
- Fresh coriander
