About
Come for the perfectly grilled fish and nyama choma — regulars say the choma here is some of the best in town, and the fish is always fresh. Service is quick when it's not slammed, and the outdoor seating is ideal for groups. Skip the busiest lunch hours if you want prompt service.

Good things come to those who wait...and wait...and wait...😜 It seems everything is made more or less from scratch, fresh to order (including the homemade burrito wraps!). Rome wasn’t built in a day. Likewise a homemade burrito isn’t made in 15 minutes. The food is very tasty and healthy, you just have to wait an hour for it. Great place to go if you’re not in a hurry.

Heaven for vegans and vegetarians. A pleasant relief from the usual struggle to find veg food in Kenya. Good variety, reasonable prices, kind service

... 🌱🥗 At this locally-owned Kilifi gem, vegans aren’t an afterthought — they’re the main event! ... @myveganbasket is a charming plant-based haven serving wholesome meals, fresh juices, and thoughtful treats made with love and intention. Here’s what we tried: 🌯 Vegan burrito wraps 🥗 Chickpea salad & salad kachumbari 🍛 Lentil curry with steamed rice 🥟 Lentil Pojo samosas & gluten-free fritters 🥑 Guacamole + homemade tamarind sauce 🍟 French fries 🍹 Fresh passion, tamarind & avocado juices 💭 Everything tasted fresh, flavourful, and full of heart — you can tell there’s real creativity in the kitchen. The burrito wrap was a standout (perfect fillings!) and that homemade tamarind sauce... wow, I could bottle it. 🏆 My fave dish: definitely the burrito. 🕐 Feedback: The food is made fresh-to-order, so give it a little time — it’s worth the wait. Would love to see them swap out the plastic takeaway containers for more eco-friendly packaging. 🍽️ Name: @myveganbasket 📍 Location: Naivas, Kilifi 🌾 Gluten-Free Options: A few (some adaptable) 🌱 100% Vegan Business: Yes 🍽 Cuisine: Kenyan vegan meets Western plant-based 📦 Leftovers: Took them home — still delicious days later 🌍 Sustainability: Homemade everything! Would love to see a full shift to eco packaging 👨🍳 Owners: Local Kilifi creatives & passionate food lovers ♿️ Wheelchair Friendly: Yes (a little sandy, but manageable) 🐶 Dog Friendly: Yes (outdoor area) . #VeganBasketKilifi #VeganKenya #KilifiEats #KilifiRestaurants #TheNomadicRasta #PlantBasedKenya #KilifiVibes #BofaBeach #CoastalEats #WholesomeDining

Great food but slow service. We waited an hour for our food, probably because they cooked it on the spot. It's a very charming place, but there's no good lighting and the seats are uncomfortable. The currys were tasty and we enjoyed the meal.

My fav restaurant in Kilifi. The food here is affordable, fresh, delicious and comes with big portions. I had burrito rice and rainbow smoothies at the first time. And this time I took out a burger. I’m so satisfied that I gotta leave reviews right away.😋 Staff are very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely come back! Reminder: There is free wifi but no sockets. Bring your power bank if you wanna use laptop.
