Shaggy ci ha portati in questo ristorante alla fine della nostra vacanza , erano due giorni che non mangiavo per problemi di mal d'Africa, avevo un grande appetito e mi ero ripreso, il cameriere molto gentile deve essersene accorto , quando ho finito questo piatto di ottimo riso curry e polpo me ne ha portato un altro , poi aragoste pesce marinato con curcuma alla griglia e frutta a volontà .Il ristorante si trova nella spiaggia dei pescatori ed il pesce è freschissimo .Consigliato almeno per una sera

A great authentic local bar and grill. Very typical local kenyan road side bar and grill. This was recommended by local tuk tuk drivers and hotel waiters as the place to go for the best nyama choma (BBQ grilled meat) and sukuma wiki (traditional kenyan kale recipe) in town. Local and expats are frequent visitors. Very good value for money.

We had a great night here, excellent Mojito cocktails and plenty for the kids to do with the beach so close.After taking out order for seafood, the restaurant team went and bought it from the market, so it was as fresh as could be. Lobster, prawns, chicken all very well cooked and served.Thoroughly recommended.

We had dinner at Happy Days during our first night in Watamu. The staff are wonderful and were warm and accommodating - in fact they really spoiled us! The food is fresh and delicious and many of the menu items (i.e. pastas) are homemade. After spending two months in Addis Ababa, the fresh seafood was a treat - like manna from heaven. I would highly recommend enjoying a fun or romantic evening at Happy Days! We did not try them, but the cocktails look incredible, by the way (we had non-alcoholic fruit slushes that were delicious and refreshing).

I decided to have a cocktail on a Fri evening. Beautiful serene ambience providing efficient service by friendly staff. Whilst sipping a cocktail, I was served with fresh hot focaccia. Yummy... for mainI had a gnocchi formaggi - absolutely divine. The fresh creamy gnocchi just melted away in my mouth. I surely will come back for another evening out for cocktails & dinner! A must visit. Cheers Mario!

Firstly whether you like this will depend on your expectations. This is a rustic beach bar that will take time to get your order. But the service is friendly, the food was excellent (lobster was sweet and very fresh in particular), and the position on the jacaranda beach is superb. You might be lucky and get to watch kite surfing too, while sipping on a beer, like we did.They don't take cards by the way, cash only!
