    I ordered grilled fish, but it s not what you expect, no signs of grilling it came steamed rather than grilled. Order spinach, they never came out on my table. Bad experience. If food is not grilled you should not write grilled on the menu

    Flavour full meals at a very fair price!! I highly recommend the Red Snapper dish. The owner Mona is an excellent host.

    Love love love! Second night in a row ordering delivery. The food is always fresh, and the owner is a sweetheart. She goes above and beyond to meet my family’s needs for strict vegan meals. Love 😍

    A whole round of 5 Stars 🌟 for Ma Johari's! Fresh, tasty food with a touch of 'professionalism and homeliness'. Great ambience, nothing beats sitting outside with all the freshness of the air, surrounded by the lush green of trees, bushes and flowering plants, while enjoying a lovely meal. Customer service here goes beyond the call of duty, happy smiling faces, wholesome interactions. Great conversations. We love this place! Their takeaway service is just as good. Hot, tasty meals. Prompt and gracious service. All in good time. Fine dining in Malindi 🌟
