Why Travelers Love Mawimbi Seafood
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We have been in this gorgeous restaurant tonight, Monday. You can enjoy the seafood in different versions (stew, grilled). Everything is amazing and tasty and very good cooked. We had a little situation with the dessert and the chef (I think Mako), came and explained us everything. All the staff are very nice, since the security man, the girl who gave us the table or the supervisor who help us as well with the tips. Especial mention too to our waiter who did his job very kindly and helpful, checking if we need anything else. You must try this restaurant in you are in Nairobi. Oh my god. My partner and I went here multiple times while we were in Nairobi together. Beautiful resteraunt, incredible food and drinks. I dream about this place. I've never done a food review before, but this place deserves it. Beautiful tea selection, we couldn't stop ordering pots of their tea. Love from Australia. everything was on point and delicious and I really enjoyed the food and service and friendly atmosphere thanks for having me and see you guys next time

The best seafood restaurant so far, I had the poseidon platter. The service was on point and there was a live band I enjoyed too much. I am willing to explore more from this restaurant and I can't wait.

Good food. Nice decor. Don't sit outside by the pool unless you want to be around smokers. Nice vibe.
