Located just beside Sipadan Inn II, in a relatively new development area of Semporna.We offer an Al Fresco dining environment with a superb seaview just outside our premises. Suitable for families, couples and groups of all ages.

Went to this place as recommended by TA but during dinner time that place is so quiet and without a soul. The tank for the fresh seafood is also not appealing and we ended up a few stall next to them for seafood instead . Am wondering if they are still focusing on the seafood business or have already change owner

Shy at first, but once you start talking to the staff in the Mabul Cafe, they are very friendly and accommodating. The prices are very reasonable and the portions are HUGE. The juices are amazing and the seafood is as fresh as it gets. And if you have room after dinner, attempt to finish a Mabul Cafe bowl of ice-cream. Thanks to all the staff for looking after my friends and i so well over the two weeks that we ate in your establishment.

Definitely serves up a damn fine Roti with tasty dal and chilli sauce. The place is kind of grubby and greasy though! It is staffed by a bunch of inattentive twenty something's which is moderately annoying.
Not a bad option though in a town of limited restaurants.

Really great grilled food and they were very accommodating to change sauces on their amazing fresh seafood! Slipper lobsters, crabs and mantis shrimp are all must tries! Slow service and bad smell from the sea brought it down a bit.. Also, there is a great massage spot nearby on the second floor of the hotel that my group all went to. If you get a massage, you can use their cinema for free all night, great for a night off from drinking at the dive shop!

Sumptuous fresh seafood, not to mention its beautifully-cooked silky egg tofu with crispy skin. Yummmmmm... Its servings of rice and vegs are quite a lot for 1-2 people, more meant for 4 people sharing. If you're in Semporna, don't miss this eating place.

Zanah Food Truck is the first food truck in Semporna. I've never seen a food truck in Semporna before and suddenly these guys showed up! Boom!
I came to their food truck parked near BSN Semporna one night, ordered two burgers and my order served just two minutes later! I'm so happy.
I don't know how they did it but Zanah Food Truck staffs amazed me with their friendly attitude, passionate showmanship and pure enthusiasm on what they are doing.
I bet they do love burgers and burritos because from my point of view, they love cooking and preparing it!
Seems like I saw 'Chef' hollywood movie comes to real life when Favreau is the main star in his food truck.
They are happy doing what they do - cooking, selling, serving burgers.
I really satisfied with the menu - they cooked it professionally.
These guys are so friendly with their customers and with any buyers who came to their food truck.They wear their trademark uniform - a black round neck t shirt with large 'Zanah Food Truck' logo in the front.
You can recognize Zanah Food Truck easily in Semporna town because their truck is painted with bright yellow color and they parked in the same place every night, that is in front of Bank Simpanan Nasional.
The place they parked is also clean. There is covered place right there. They also bring along some stools and tables for you to sit and eat, or just sit while waiting.
The night is new, fresh and totally clean so you have no doubt about the cleanliness and the quality of the food they prepare.
Personally, I highly recommend Zanah Food Truck to any tourist, travellers and local people in Semporna. They maybe look small from the inside but actually they will make you happy.
Trust me. I've been there!

Serving tasty healthy snacks and beverages, Amazing Island cafe mainly serves fresh juices and smoothies. We also serve our popular snack; banana fritters with cheese and molasses, which is so delicious and addicting! Other menus are also available!

We went here everyday after diving for smoothies as its just where the boat drops you off. Coconut flavour was my kriptonite and has made me seriously consider how I can incubate my own cocopalm when I return to the UK.
