The prices are very reasonable and the set up is welcoming. It's a great place to get some work done and have a small bite and drink or lunch/dinner. Unfortunately, my waiter was a bit edgy for lack of better term. The manager ended up sending him home which was too bad. Hopefully, he'll have better days at work. Zaidi

The owner greeted us with a smile. Wonderful place and ambience specially as it was raining. Very tasty food. And very affordable. And the service is also very good. Highly recommended. Pilau was over evening . Will come back for pilau :) Zaidi

This is a really nice place with a coastal touch to its food, but that's just as far as the swahili element goes. The establishment is made using containers, which is something all mangrove cafés (3) have distinct about them. … Zaidi

  • Anisia Muriuki

It’s a very cool place to unwind. Rustic architecture, outdoor seating, private cubicles and nicely quiet. The food is good, hardly causes food poisoning. Their African tea is especially good. Brewed to perfection. … Zaidi

I love this place. It's located inside a mosque perimeter so no alcohol.. really relaxing environment. Almost feel like you're in the Sahara desert with camels.. Real traditional food, amazing tea.. really great place...

  • Carol Mutai

The decor is done in a tasteful Swahili way and the ambiance is very relaxing. Plus they have a seesaw for children and a slide, my niece really enjoyed the seesaw and we thoroughly enjoyed the food … Zaidi

We visited the restaurant in one evening and managed to get a private booth. We were served by a very pleasant waiter. Those are the only two redeeming qualities about the place. … Zaidi

A great place for tasty authentic Coastal dishes including Biriani, Chicken Tikka and Pilau. I had the Chicken Biraini and it was delicious, generous and affordable to boot! Zaidi
