    Had a lovely experience at Malaika Malindi. We were served by Jeniffer, who was absolutely exceptional—attentive, warm, and professional. The food, drinks, and desserts were all a solid 10/10. Highly recommend, and I’ll definitely be coming back. (Also please try the gelatooooo ☺️)

    Incredible food! Thoroughly enjoyed the prawn pasta with parmesan cracker and cashewnut and chocolate gelato.

    Our favorite restaurant during our stay in Malindi. We came here twice for dinner, twice for gelato and once for the Thursday evening party. Great food, good wine selection, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. Definitely try their gelato!

    I have been at Malaika during a week day,at dinner,in July,with a big group of friends and our kids. We have mainly ordered fish based plates: seafood salad,grilled octopus, tuna tartare, tuna carpaccio and a few pizzas. The fish was super fresh and tasty and the same for the pizza,a good Italian pizza. The owner and her family were really nice with us. Maybe the only negative thing is the position on the road,which makes it a bit noisy.otherwise big thumbs up!
