Lamu Bites
Ranked in Best Casual Dining in South B
About
Authentic Swahili food at prices slightly higher than you'd expect, though the quality justifies it. Service can be slow and they're sometimes out of stock, but the atmosphere is great and the barbecue and pizza in the evenings are worth checking out.

Great food although they couldn't give exactly what I wanted like no chicken breast. Service was slow with orders not being delivered coz they were out of stock. Otherwise, the atmosphere was great and the food worth it
- E-Solution E.Google review · 6 Nov 2022
Nice place for quick bites. The atmosphere is simple between a normal kiosk and a restaurant. Food prices may be higher than you'd expect but by all standards the food is good. They seemed to have barbecue and pizza judging by the equipment I saw, but I was told they serve these in the evenings.
