    Fine taste deep in lamu island...

  • ShivaGoogle review · 10 Nov 2025

    Don't know about the rooms but pizzas are just ok. Can only eat them with a lot of tabasco. And the service and communication with the guests can be very much improved. Waiting time was incredibly long. And we were the only guest. Waiter didn't come once to ask us if we need anything else. Very unfortunate because the restaurant could be nice. Maybe that's why nobody is coming and we were the only guests?

    Has a great view of the sunrise and an ocean view. Great customer care service is experienced here. The food is delicious and served within 20mins of ordering. Looking forward to coming back to enjoy your great hospitality. Many regards to Boniface. He was really helpful and kind.

    Service was slow given there were only 3 tables occupied. Food was OK and a bottle of white wine reasonably priced. Fries did not come crispy as requested. Large pasta portions but too much garlic and corridor in one and the seafood pasta had a vegetable topping on it.
