Smart place this. Lovely seating area and bar. Lots of ceiling fans creating a through draft as the sides are open, perfect for a Mombasa December. Very friendly and professional staff. Food was delicious and portions were on the large side. The Bentos were esp good. Good value. Good drinks choice. Recommended.

Been here several times- mainly for lunch- the place was serene and the waitstaff polite. Loved their pizza- actually the reason I keep going back! That and the ice cream- its super fresh and they've got the most interesting flavours. I definitely advice you to give it a go- especially over lunch when its not too busy- ideal for a leisurely meal.Thank you for your favorable rating and review. We are glad to note that overall you are happy with our offerings. I will certainly share this with the team. Thank you for taking your time to let the world know of your wonderful experiences at Il Covo Mombasa. We look forward to being of service to you on your next return.

Went to this place on our last night in Kenya and this was the best dinner Kenya had offered. Enjoyed everything from the tasty meatballs courtesy of the chefs to every single aspect of the entire meal. Was a little disappointed that the dhow didn't move but the atmosphere is still very calm and beautiful. You get a discount here is you are staying at the Severin Lodge. This is 150 m walk on the beach from the Kenya Bay beach hotel where we were staying. I really loved this place and will visit if am ever in Kenya again Jambo dear Sweet_NK,Thanks a lot for your positive review about our famous Imani Dhow restaurant.Yes, the dhow does not move but has a fantastic location with view over the Indian Ocean. However it used to sail many years between Mombasa and Muscat.We would be happy to welcome you again on our dhow. Maybe next time try our dine & dance offer every Thursday night at our Severin Sea Lodge.Kind regards from sunny MombasaJames OwitiResident Manager

The seafood offer is sumptuous, the service is great and the ambiance is very soothing.The view of the sea is great from the upper deck as the restaurant is right by the sea. This is a place for those of us who are particular about our seafood.

I visited Monsoons with my parents, it is located in a very discrete area in Mtwapa, Mombasa, Kenya. Sitting on a private beach, monsoon had the best views. Primarily focusing on seafood cuisine, the staff were friendly and the food fresh. I even saw my lobster delivered by the fishermen from the ocean direct to the grill. Also, the owner was very hospitable and gave us limoncello on the house too! Very recommended seafood restaurant in and around Mombasa!

We were a grp of 7, waited for 2 for our food which was mediocre. This was at lunch time. My advise is avoid the seafood pot and the fish and chips. Also if possible call them 2hours prior to lunch otherwise theyll eat your patience out. Quality of food and service doesnt justify the amount you pay for it. Mara yangu ya mwisho.Dear Abuzain,Thank you for reviewing us. We endeavor to uphold a remarkable standard of guest satisfaction.All our food is prepared to order and we do not engage any microwave. Select food items with long preparation time are highlighted explicitly on the menu card.The sumptuous food is always worth the wait. It is a shame that on this occasion it did not turn out to your expectation. Your kind observation with regard to prior ordering is noted with thanks

The Menu and food are out of this world. The prices are ok considering the quality of service and ambience.This is my second review on the place in the past couple years, but we were so impressed with the new manager Allan, the chef Maina and our waiters Chris and Jennifer I had to endorse it again. The pasta's white sauce was so-o-o delicious as was their salads. And one cannot forget to mention, they make the best margaritas in Kenya. The only complaint is that the weather is so nice, it melts your drink quickly, so one has to drink quickly, third world problems I guess.

This was our best sea food ever. The lobster was amazingly done, very tasty and the prawns out of this world. The Calamari rings and salad was also very tasty.None of the sea foods we ate had any lingering "sea food after taste" that is normally there when sea food is not done well.I give a 5 star to the chef at La Marina.The waiter who served us was very good and served with a smile. He seemed to love and enjoy his job.Definitely a place we will visit again and again
