Colobus Shade — Restaurant in Ukunda ward

We three ordered a barbecue platter for 1500 and a curry shrimp for 1000 (the shrimp was not fresh and not tasty). When the waiter brought the barbecue, he said he had added more for us. We were a little happy that there were indeed two lobsters. But when we checked the bill, he said we ordered two barbecue platters, and the total was 4000. We ate everything and were too tired, wanna to solve this quickly then go back to the hostel to rest, so we asked him to give us a discount. After talking for more than ten minutes, the waiter kept ignoring us. We were so tired that we left 3500 on the table then left. You can’t believe that after ten minutes, the boss of the restaurant chased us to the hostel to scold us and threatened us that we were in Africa and it was obviously the waiter who took the wrong order. We had already paid more than expected fees, and we had to pay for their mistakes, but we were threatened by the owner. .is this Kenya style of how to treat...

Worst food experience of my trip in Kenya! I was on my way to the Colobus Center and I decided to eat here. The terrace was cosy, the waiter nice and the beer cold. But then everything started going wrong. Out of the whole menu they only had one type of fish with rice or potatoes. No curries, no tuna, no octopus, no calamari… Really? I should have left but I ordered the fish. After waiting for almost an hour I got a small grilled fish and some sticky white rice with a tasteless sauce. The food was cold, my beer warm, and I left totally disappointed. A place to avoid at all costs. Diani is full of places way better than...

What a gem! This is a truly wonderful place to eat. They have a small menu and a few things were unavailable but what they did have was the best fish and seafood I’ve ever eaten. Well spiced, beautifully grilled, fresh and succulent. Also nice sauces. All for around £10 per person. Friendly, attentive service. They don’t serve alcohol here but that’s fine as nice bars are available along the beach (Eleven Pearl is very close). I have been back with my friends and will come back again and again. Can’t recommend...
