The signature restaurant at Medina Palms, Amandina offers an amazing dining experience on the Kenya coast. Set high above the tree tops cooled by the ocean breeze, the open sided restaurant offers elegant dining in sublime surroundings. Menus are exciting

We had dinner here one evening whilst sataying at Hemmingways next door.The restaurant is situated in the gardens and is very pretty, we sat next to the fountain.We shared the prawn tempura to start and our mains were fish and chips and lobster tagliatelle, it was all excellent, we had no room for dessert but had coffee. All in all with drinks and a bottle of wine the bill was in the region of 8,000KSH which we felt was excellent value.Well worth a visit.

The restaurant is located on the Watamu Beach Road, the main street of Watamu, looks like a typical African restaurant, with dishes, Italian and African, fresh cooked at the time (using pre-cooked pasta), we also have a bell 'assortment of pizzas to suit

Avoid this place as eating here is very likely to result in a severely upset stomach. The fried budgie was a disgrace at rip off prices. My pizza was inedible and was abandoned after the first slice. My friend is still on antibiotics after eating the so called chicken.

This restaurant was wonderful, nice and romantic ambience and the food was incredible, we loved the pasta filled with pumpkin with nuts (forgot the name) it was one of the best dishes we have had during our stay in Kenya. Weâll come back definitely.

This place looks a little unassuming at first, but from the first bite of food to the last we were not disappointed. First they brought a nice size piece of focaccia for a biting whine we waited for our appetizer of smoked cheese and Parma ham, which was heavenly. Both my friend and I ordered pasta, I had the richly delicious carbonara and my friend the gricia. Neither of us left a bite on our plate despite both of us being stuffed half way through. The only disappointment was we had no room for gelato! I plan to make this place a regular when I visit Watamu.

The location and view is to die for. The setting is great with tables right out at the beach (though one of the diners chairs sank into the sand and the diner fell). The food, especially the sea food, is really very good though the prawns should have been veined. It is a pity that all these positives are spoilt by the fact that the service is extremely horrible discriminatory. We are Kenyans, though of Indian origin. We ordered our meal, and pointed out that our table did not have sauces, seasonings and oil and vineager which we would need. These were promptly brought but no sooner a waitress came and took them away and put them on a table occupied by a caucasian family. We were amazing and found it shocking that a restaurant of that calibre should have only one set of sauces to share between all tables. The food came, got cold but there was no waiter in sight to bring back the bottles. I went looking for one and found the waitress who had taken them away and demanded the bottles back to which she flatly refused claiming that they were being used by other diners. I lost my temper and started to make a lot of noise upon which she came very angrily, picked the bottles and banged then down on our table at the same time telling me off that I was making a big deal over nothing!! At the end of the meal, when the bill came, I had been overcharged by two extra dishes that I had not ordered!!. I complained to Roberto (the owner) about the quality of service and he just laughed it off saying "we are in Kenya you know". I still fail to understand what he meant by that. And ideas??
