Ukunda, Coast Province Food Guide: 10 Seafood food Must-Eat Restaurants & Street Food Stalls in Diani Beach

February 8, 2020 Alice Mieles

Reviews on Seafood food in Diani Beach, Ukunda, Coast Province. About an hour south of Mombasa, the sparkling white sands and lush greenery of Diani invite you to relax under a beach umbrella with a refreshing drink. Try a camel ride for the tourist experience or book a bike tour inland for a glimpse of life in local villages. Diani is also a base for several safari companies.

The beach is amazing, being a boutique hotel it has a more chilled out vibe than the larger hotels, the service was prompt and you must try the prawns pili pili. The prices are reasonable.

Visited your new restaurant at 12:30 and non of the meals were ready so we ordered breakfast food which was tasty. The waiter was very annoying and flirtatious . Good place but needs much improvement in customer service. I will definitely be back because the Swahili dishes are delicious

A return to this excellent, not expensive restaurant with tables looking over the golden sands to the Indian ocean What a place to linger over a meal.

Reviewed By Katrin_fernweh

We loved the spectacular location in a real cave under sea level. Through the opening the stars are shining above you and the dimmed lights are making it a romantic and special place. The food was good and the price high for Kenya but reasonable for the location. We appreciated the free taxi service from and to our cottage.

Nomad Restaurant

Reviewed By Motor M

So, my compoanion loves seafood and gorged on a seafood platter which included prawns of a size I did not realize existed outside the fossil record!So that person loved the meal.Me, non-fish eater opted for the "Swahili mutton platter" not a cheap dish. The dish contains shards of mutton ribs minimal meat swimming in a bland sauce.However, if you love your fish the location adjacent to the beach with a lively local crowd it will suit you just fine.

This local restaurant serves consistently high quality Japanese cuisine beautifully presented. The accompanying sake was also good and a better choice than the wines which are at best mediocre. This is accompanied by prompt service.

Reviewed By Livite

We really craved sea food and we checked places for it. Sails came first and so obvious great choice. We are novices in matters sea food but Sam our waiter was a great help. We ventured with oysters and the chef was happy to give us a sample of both chilled and baked. However, the chilled turned out fantastic. We will have that next time. Our sea food platter didnt disappoint either with almost all choices. The portions were generous, value for money and the ambience coupled with amazing ocean breeze just perfect. Sam assisted by Ronald were great too. Attentive, courteous and spot on. Of course their wine list was elaborate as well. Loved the mint tea cause we were too full to try the dessert. All in all great evening, amazing food and worth coming again. I recommend it. Dear Livono Thank you for your lovely review and kind words. I will be sure to pass on your praise to Sam and Ronald, they will be so happy that you had mentioned them personally. We hope to see you at Sails restaurant again soon. Kind regards Anthony Huth Executive Chef
