I had an amazing experience at Coolwave Restaurant in Diani! I ordered the seafood platter, and it was one of the freshest seafood meals I've had. Everything was perfectly cooked, flavorful, and beautifully presented. What impressed me even more was how quickly the food was prepared without compromising on quality. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout my visit, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. If you're in Diani and looking for fresh seafood with excellent service, I highly recommend Coolwave Restaurant. I'll definitely be coming back!

Order a chicken Biryani. The chicken was undercooked and the sauce had no flavour. Got me a stomachache; I'm not digesting well.🫤 Got them a 2 star as the juices were fresh and very affordable.

I had chicken curry with rice and passion fruit juice. The taste was very good and the price fair. The restaurant is clean what here is not everywhere. For sure I will come again.
