Best Eat Outs in Mombasa

The Africa Hotel: Kenya’s Oldest Hotel?

Opened in 1901 and operated by Goans, Diaz and Junior who ran a grocery and tailoring enterprise that doubled as a Portuguese Counsel, it was later transformed to a hotel. At the onset it had lovely sea views from the balcony. Since then, well over a century ago, up until now, it has been continually serving authentic Swahili cuisine. It is promoted as the oldest operational eatery in Kenya, ergo its history has been assiduously followed and all along its walls are mounted photographic records of different periods in the history of Mombasa City. The Swahili cuisine, its laid back ambiance, and the infectious Swahili mannerism, are no less impressive.

Deep inside Old Town, Africa Hotel is situated midway between Fort Jesus and the Old Port along Mbarak Hinawy Road. An additional guidance is warranted here about the scale of Old Town: That although the common circuit loops around the triangle area enclosed by two main roads alluded to, there is much more to see at Old Town – deeper into the residential area. Some of the other noteworthy roads to follow include: Kibokoni Road that is connected to Ndia Nkuu by Nyeri Street and Old Kilindini Road, and Samburu Road, which is connected to Kibokoni Road by Old Kilindini Street, Wachangamwe Street and Ncheru Road. Humble or grey, just about everything within Old Town Mombasa is heavy with the patina of time.

The best eat-outs can be subjective and depends on personal preferences, budget, and location. Ever-growing in number around Kenya, are an inviting array of eat-outs offering innovative and multi-sensory dining experience. Bringing the world to our plates, with cuisines from around the world. Others, too, have been around for many years now, offering classic cuisine with impeccable service.
