    Location and ambience are nice but they had no fish of the day and the calamari I got instead were unfortunately not my taste. The fries were good though.

    The food was quite good, luckily we were not in a hurry because it took an hour to arrive. Clean toilet.

    The seafood in the restaurant was amazing as the restaurant is located near the sea with a beautiful view. You can taste the food is fresh and it’s very well prepared. The host was enthousiastic, made some funny comments and when asked something about the local culture he apeared to be a good storyteller as well. It was also the cheapest diner we had in Lamu (500s/biryani).
