Few hundred meters after you've passed the bridge in Mtwapa you find Casuarinha on the right hand side. It's a good choice for drinking, socializing and dancing. If you're hungry you can also get food here, even though food is not the main issue here. The atmosphere is good and vibe is getting on when it starts to get crowdy after 11 pm and further on. The place attracts kenyans and mzungos(white people).After Tembo was closed some years ago Casuarinha took over as the number one place when in comes to nightlife in the area.

You find this longtimer restaurant next to New Malindi road in the southern part of Bamburi beach. Here you get cold beers, drinks and european food for reasonable prices 24-7. In the weekends it's sometimes livebands and it's get crowdy with good vibes. It's a good place for hanging out and enjoying life.

I live locally but found this place by mistake. Went to visit a friend and called there instead of the Apartments next door (where he lives). Best mistake I've made in a long time.Once past the Askari and through the gate you discover this wonderful little bar, small Restaurant and Apartments. I now drink in here 2-3 nights a week as it is a peaceful haven away from the 'Strip' - Tourist Road - in Shanzu.The bar is well stocked and serviced by 3 very good barmen (Juma, Joseph and Samson). There is always music playing (CD's) and if it is not to your taste they will change it for you. The bar prices are cheaper than most places on the strip (except for Forty Pub).My pal and I watched the 6 Nations Rugby in there courtesy of the manager (Godfrey), a most charming and helpful person.I have eaten there on a couple of occasions - the dearest meal being 550ksh for a Peppered Steak and accompaniments. They also do snacks and a nice breakfast.I use it as a bar with occasional food (and the pool) but the place also has 22 Apartments. Although I have not stayed in one I have been showed around them by Godfrey and a friend from the UK has booked for June on my recommendation. They are clean and look to be good value for money.There are various types from Self-contained Cottages to smaller ones with Communal Sitting Rooms. If you are interested check the web site (www.punda-milia-apartments.com) or e.mail Godfrey at ([email protected]). He can also be contacted on 0725 869823.Enough of this - just off to there now for a beer.

My family of 5 had dinner here in late July 2019. Itâs an attractive upscale dinner location - outside dining, 70s/80âs disco music, pool tables. The food is quite good and inexpensive ($6-12) per main. We ordered 4 dishes and had leftovers. But the service was terrible. We had more than a 1 hour wait after we ordered. The waitress brought silverware for 2 with the food. She had to be asked twice for plates. The number of requests spurred a visit from the manager, who wanted to make sure we liked the food and didnât appear concerned about the service issues. And although she packed the leftovers up nicely, when I gave the waitress 4000 for the 3850 bill, she went to get change and didnât return for 10 minutes, so I left. Bottom line: be patient, and hope for better service.

Located in the southern part of Bamburi beach, next to The Pirates, it's a good place to enjoy beach life. Find your way to the beachside section in front and enjoy the breeze from the indian ocean and the excelllent seaview together with cold Tusker beers. If you're in for more bar and restaurantfeeling go for the more indoor section on the right hand side. Cold beers and good food for reasonable prices. The rooms are basic and ok and good value for money . What I really miss is that it should be safety box in each rooom, so I hope for this next time.

Quiet place perhaps overhauled by its younger neighbours.Pleasant enough for old people (wazees) but the younger set would much prefer the Anuba,Hypnotique etc.The beer is cold,the 80s tunes are nice and one could relax quietly here.The location is certainly very good too.

Great place to relax, they show sports on a lot of different screens. So pick your game and sit down in that section of the bar. The food is mediocre, although I had an African Beef Stew that was delicious. The following chapati was fresh and tasteful. One of the best chapatis I've had in Kenya. Worth a visit.

Traveling with colleagues who had not been to Mombasa one had to take them to the tamarind. Sadly I think the standards have dropped. The sea food was nothing special. The service slow and far from courteous. But embarrassing actually after having promoting the place solidly all day. If you have to go to say you have been do so but donât expect anything special. Dear William, Thank you for taking the time to review. We are really regret that your dining experience did not meet with your high expectations and you were actually embarrassed after promoting the restaurant to your colleague. It is most unfortunate that the sea food was nothing special and that you found the service slow and discourteous. We are sorry that we obviously fell way short of our customer service mark which is to provide the best for each and every one of our guests, and it is only through feedback such as yours that we are able maintain and indeed where necessary improve upon the services that we provide. Your comments have been shared with the team and the issues you mentioned will be addressed. Kind regards Geraldine

So this was our restaurant for breakfast and dinner during our stay at Sarova Whitesands. It can get every busy at times especially when whole sections are blocked off for corporate bookings for hours on end.Overall the buffet food was Ok. The swahili breakfast being the stand out items for us. The Swahili lunch by the beach was also very good.
