Crocodile Resturant, Watamu
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in Watamu
About
The crocodile meat here is yummy and worth trying, plus the owner is friendly and welcoming. Portions are small for the price, though — if you want something filling, know that the German burger at KES 1,700 comes with nothing on the side.

We were so disappointed, yesterday evening we had arrived for dinner to enjoy our food, when we arrived at the parking we saw the owner yelling 😡 at staffs (too loud) we changed our plans to pilipan restaurant. Please solve your issues with your staffs amicably, respect and support them they are also human beings. How can you shout you "HATE ITALIANS " (your truly a resist 😡) WHAT ASHAME!!!!!! 😡 WE WILL NEVER COME BACK TO YOUR RESTAURANT AGAIN 😡

Great food. All the dishes were made fresh and you could taste the excellent flavours I'm all the meals. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Highly recommended for great conversation, atmosphere and food.

After a few weeks of Kenia I was really looking forward to some European style meat. That's exactly what we got. Some really good juicy burgers and some crispy fries. They even asked how we liked the meat (that was a first one for us in Kenia). We went for a cheese burger and a tex-mex burger. Fresh meat, lettuce and tomatoes. Later on I learned that the owner was German. Explained why there also were some schnitzels on the menu. Now I am really eager to try them as well. Staff was really nice and the place is close to the main street. So easy to acces! Well be back for sure, than I'll add some photo's

The food portions are hilariously small but highly charged. The photo of the German burger I took was 1,700. It was small and came with nothing, not even fries. Felt like a rip off. The service was good, the waitress asked for feedback and I told her what I just typed above. As for the atmosphere, I loved the scenery but a staff member kept asking about my whereabouts and trying to get personal information out of me, it is great for an extrovert but I disliked *that* particularly. Overall, modest place.
