I went for lunch as my hotel is close by and walked in with no wait. The food was incredible : simosa, masala tea and grilled octopus with veg all made from scratch (allow plenty of time). Service was exceptional. May need to book if coming in the evening

Den Cove is an absolute gem! Starting with the service, the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive. For the food, I had the succulent breaded chicken breast served with Lyonnaise potatoes and accompanied by an absolutely delicious tartar sauce and a small side salad. The quality was excellent, and the presentation was absolutely beautiful on a wooden slab. Everything was delicious and perfectly prepared. The music they play is also very good and sets a wonderful, relaxing vibe. And the sandy ground! Taking off your shoes and feeling the sand under your feet is so comfortable and makes it a perfect place to chill out. It is also family friendly, so you can bring everyone along. You won't regret coming here!

Perfect perfect hidden gem in Kilifi I almost wanna gatekeep it 🤭 I loooove everything about Den Cove. It's a perfect place for an afternoon chill out, whether solo or with friends. Their customer service is top-notch 👌🏾 I personally recommend Mwangi 😍 He serves you wholeheartedly and makes sure you have everything you may need. Let's not get started on their food 😍 every single meal I've ever ordered from their menu has always left me licking my fingers 🤤 yaaani their food is amazing 👌🏾 personal favourite is their pizza 🍕🤤 They also have a playing area for your young ones comolete with swings and beach sand. Another plus is that it's located really close to the beach so you can take a walk and enjoy the breeze from the beach afterwards. 10/10 experience. Highly recommend 💯

This has got to be the best meal I’ve had in Kenya 🥹 I had the octopus, which was served beautifully on a wooden plate, and incredible seasoning and sauces. The potato wedges were so crispy! We were sat up in a treehouse which was lovely, and the staff were so sweet and kind, we felt really welcomed.
