    Amazing place opposite Love Island Bay, Barby is a friend since 20 years ago therefore we know her and location , next to our Nyumba. What more ? Hassan is incredible rasta guy , he presents himself so particoular and smart ; this November , suggested by Barbara , we enjoyed "frittura di Hassan" . Seems the 2025 new and Hassan performed the dish , dayly and nightly in superb way. Ask him a very good rasta Song too, he knows the good rythm . regards Vittorio 'n Cristina

    Staff were very nice and they gave us some lovely snacks to go with our many beers and good price

    Horrible and super slow service, not drinkable piña colada and half of the menu wasn’t even available. The location itself right at the beach is nice but we would definitely recommend any another place at this beach.

    Atmospheric food at the Watimu Beach then go to the Sunrise Restaurant. Tuktuk will take you and pick you up again! Just do it!

    Very nice beach restaurant. It was not so windy when I was there, so I had a perfect rest listening to their reggae mixtape. There are nice people selling tourist items and my friends got ink tattoos. FYI, you might want to clarify size of food portions before ordering. I bought espresso coffee and got a very (funny) small cup.
