Often referred to as "Nairobi's Nyama Choma Belt",[1] the area is administratively in Ruiru, Kiambu County which by extension falls within the greater Nairobi Metropolitan Region.

Kamakis started off as a Nyama choma (grilled meat) shopping center, often getting recognized among popular Nyama Choma joints in Kenya.
