About

The octopus and seafood platter are fresh and perfectly cooked, with generous portions and ugali on the side. Barracuda's moist and well seasoned, though the calamari in the tempura can be tough—dip everything in the coconut sauce.

    I had an amazing meal here! The seafood platter and octopus were both fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The ugali and spinach on the side brought a great local touch and balanced the meal nicely. Portions were generous, and everything was well-prepared. If you’re a seafood lover looking for a satisfying, authentic experience, this place is definitely worth a visit. Highly recommend!

    We ordered Garlic prawns and Crispy Calamari. Both meals lacked salt and flavour. Had to keep putting salt and lemon juice and dipping in the sauces to enjoy. Service was also slow and the food court generally is crazy. As soon as you enter all waiters swarm you to get you to order from their restaurant

    Ordered the barracuda and seafood tempura. The barracuda was well seasoned and moist solid 8/10. The tempura was crunchy but the calamari was tough to chew so I would give it a 6/10. The coconut sauce was amazing. Would definitely try it again
