About

The Indian food here is the real deal — proper spice levels, vegetarian options that shine, and portions that don't leave you hungry. The cinema location makes it perfect for pre or post-movie dining. Service is quick and friendly. Go for the paneer dishes or biryanis.

    Very POOR experience We had a truly frustrating experience at this restaurant that I can't help but share. We arrived with high hopes, but unfortunately, it was a letdown from start to finish. Firstly, our food took an excruciating 1.5 hours to arrive. We were all quite hungry and, frankly, getting impatient as the minutes ticked by. When the food finally arrived, it was served in a staggered fashion. My family of four received our meals at different times, so some of us were left eating alone, while others waited even longer. The whole situation felt disorganized and careless. Now, for the biggest disappointment: my son's veggie burger was honestly disgusting. He couldn't even finish it, which is rare for him, as he usually loves a good veggie burger. It was soggy, tasteless, and lacked any real seasoning or flavor. We tried to get the staff's attention to address it, but by then, the damage was done. Given the long wait, the uncoordinated service, and the quality of the food (especially the veggie burger), I can’t say I’d recommend this place to anyone. It's a shame because we were really hoping for a good meal, but the experience left us all frustrated and disappointed what was even more shocking that despite the choatic service they asked if we wanted 10%off the bill !!Shocking how detached they were from customer service and accepting it .....and sadly how the focus was the collection of the money

    The food was OK I think the best part of food was the naans , the mojitos were bland .but I must say service from Lamech was very good . And food was served very fast despite it being busy.

    The best Indian restaurant in Mombasa. 100% vegetarian. Great service & staff are well trained on all the meal varieties. Food quality is excellent. Love the patio seating, good breeze. The chairs & seating is super comfortable & relaxing! Plenty of free parking available. Best to have an early dinner here & catch a 9pm movie after.

    It was december, we were two and we arrived just before the closing time, but the waiter was very nice and let us sit anyway. The restaurant was full of indians (and that is a good sign!). It was our first approach with indian food and...it was Amazing! The menu offers a huge variety of vegetarian dishes from different part of India (north and south). We were not very confident with the menu so we accepted some pieces of advice from the waiter. The food was not too spicy and very tasteful, you can feel that the quality is high. There are also some swahili dishes that i suggest you to try. The price is a bit higher compared to the avarage prices in Kenya but it is justified from the quality of the food and the service (also, if you don't eat local food, the price is higher). In total (Two people) we paid 4000 scellings for three dishes, four bottles of beer, two types of naan (try the garlic naan, it is awesome!) and some water. I highly reccomend this place for anyone who wants to try indian delicacies! I hope to come back soon (in Mombasa and in this place 😂).
