    Service was terrible and it took forever for our table to be cleaned so we had to stare at dead flies and dirty dishes for 30 minutes. But you know what they say about not very clean spaces producing great tastes(or maybe not). When the food finally came, it was great....at least the pilau was....don't order the biriani please, not good at all. They have good fish too!

    Coastal food is the best kind of food in Kenya hands down any day. And this place tries its hand at it. I would not give them five star compliment but at least I would thank them for trying. A for effort. Sadly swahili food has difficulty to transfer from home to mass production. All a restaurant can do is try and here is the best effort. I loved the chicken bitiyina I had here. I will do it again.

    Tasty chicken biryani with tamarind juice. If your looking for authentic swahili food, cheap and no fuss, this is your spot! And i mean no fuss! Alot of the locals have their lunch here- Big portions too! Always come back, coz i miss that thick yummy coastal dish.

    Was recommended as a place to try for local cuisine. It was busy so seems like many people do like it but it was just not memorable. The more typical dishes like pilau/biryani seem to be okay but the others, even simple chips, fried chicken, samosa... went unfinished. Leave alone the masala chicken 🤢

    Excellent Swahili food! Definitely a top spot in Diani. I went multiple times and the service was quite hit or miss. Sometimes it was slow and others it was much faster. No consistency in this aspect. That said, I always returned. The food is incredibly worth the wait, always hot, and the portions are extremely generous. Great value

    If you are looking for an informal, authentic place to try local food this is a good choice. Can't say I was blown away by the food, but it was good and inexpensive, and overall was an experience worth having. Tip: the tamarind juice is delicious, but the ice cubes are made with unfiltered water.

    The atmosphere & service could be better but the food was good. I'd recommend to anyone looking for a taste of Swahili dishes. Don't forget to order their tamarind juice - it gives everything.

    The food was great. The place is clean and also has fans to ensure proper cooling. I highly recommend this place for a person who craves for a coastal dish eg. Pilau, biriyani etc
