The Moorings is one of my favorite spots. I recently visited during their Saturday karaoke night and had such a great time—fun music, lively energy and the perfect setting to unwind. The food is absolutely delicious, with a wide variety to suit every taste. Whether you’re craving seafood, meat, or vegetarian dishes, you’ll find something you’ll love. Service is fast and friendly, which makes the experience even smoother. The ambience is amazing, with a beautiful setting and a clean, relaxed environment. It’s even better during the day—perfect for soaking up the views and enjoying a peaceful meal in the sun. Highly recommend Moorings for anyone looking for great food, good vibes, and a memorable time in Mtwapa/Mombasa 👌🏾❤️
