Mama City near city mall is definitely the place to eat for those with their feet on the ground. Above the friendly kibandasky rates, this textbook hip place with an industrial vibe in central Mombasa does several things few other local establishments do; such as the generous servings of pilau and viazi karai.
Tarboosh is a very welcome addition to the Old Town dining scene. The menu is a crowd-pleasing, extensive list of Swahili and Indian dishes such as lamb biryani. Be sure to call to place your order or arrive slightly before dinner time. Nonetheless, you can still strip the juicy beef mishkaki off the skewers
Char-Choma has an appealing terrace overlooking the ocean. If youre tired of the spicy, Swahili dishes, and are craving Nairobi food, this is the place to eat your fill of ugali and nyama choma.
