About

Popular spot for nyama choma — especially the goat ribs — with top-notch food and drinks. The chief security guy is friendly enough to help arrange taxis, and the DJ spins nice music for a fairly relaxed night in Kilifi.

    Fairly relaxed night I had at Kusini Tavern during my stay in Kilifi. I enjoyed wonderfully made cocktail while also enjoying nice music from DJ. The chief security guy was nice enough to get us a taxi to drive us all the way back to Vipingo !!

    "Kusini Tavern Bar and Restaurant is a MUST-VISIT spot in Kilifi! 🍴🔥 The food and drinks are top-notch, but what really sets them apart is their amazing nyama choma - it's the best in town! 🍖️🔝 The live band performances on Thursdays and Sundays are the perfect way to unwind and have a great time with friends and family. 🎶👯 The staff are friendly, and the atmosphere is always lively and welcoming. Whether you're a foodie, a music lover, or just looking for a great spot to chill, Kusini Tavern is the place to be! 👍 Highly recommended! 👌 #KusiniTavern #NyamaChoma#liveMusic#MUZIKITHEBAND#Kilifi

    This place is great with great atmosphere for a cold drink as you wait for your food. Ample parking space with options of sitting outdoors or at the counter which is more like indoors. A great place to catch a game.
