ChaQula's Recommendations of Mombasa Food:
Mama Khadijas - Swahili Bitings
Open Daily 4pm - 6:30pm
What to Try:
Viazi karai (deep fried coated potatoes) and bhajia (a fritter similar to falafel) with fresh ukwaju (tamarind chutney) & coconut chutney.
Her bhajias and ukwaju sauce are amazing! So crispy and soft!
ChaQula Approved - Lighthouse
Open Daily 10am - 4pm
What to Try:
A cold madafu (coconut water), with cassava crisps! They are so fresh and a classic, have them with a little chili and lemon! Banging!
Ask for Mwinyi, he has the biggest smile ever and loves photos!
Cool Beans - Continental Cuisine
Open Daily 7am - 11pm
What to Try:
Start with their strawberry daiquiri - it's dramatic, delicious, and by far their most popular drink. My fav breakfast item is their Cool Beans Medley, it's a sweet bell pepper sauce topped with potato, fried onions, and pepperoni! Banging to say the least.
The southwest chicken salad is fresh and light, and their Swahili curries prove they can do local flavours justice too.
