It was an amazing experience and I would definitely revisit it. The food was Amazing, Sea view was spectacular as you dine. The staff is friendly. The prices are fairly affordable...I would recommend this place for lunch or evening coffee as you get to see the light shows on the opposite side...Not forgetting the walk through the old town.

I love Forodhani but, I wish they did more on their interiors i.e the chairs particularly. I believe they can do so much to improve the whole situation. They have great views but the seats do not compliment that. If you're looking for nice interiors for gorgeous Instagram shots, I'm afraid this might not be an ideal place. However, if you want great food and views, this is the place! Their food is good and I always go for their chicken tikka and garlic naan which is just amazing. On the fish (samaki wa kupaka) though, be sure to ask which fish it is-taffi is great whilst kolekole is usually bony and might not be a pleasant experience for you. On waiting time, please don't go when in a hurry, it takes some time i.e 30-40 minutes but it could be shorter too. You can always make reservations though. All in all, it's a great place and so conveniently located in Old town,Mombasa where you can easily pop in when in need of a great meal. Enjoy!

Wonderful spot on the water! The views and the food are amazing. Definitely stopping by whenever I'm in Mombasa town! ♥️ The prices are good too 😊

A nice restaurant where you can eat after a Mombassa tour (or when you take a break). They have nice local food and also others (Europe etc). The view is just wonderful I think it’s not expensive as well and the waitresses/waiters are very nice. Clean restrooms as well.

The most striking thing about this restaurant is how ocean front it is!! The place is like a hidden gem tucked right inside the narrow streets of mombasa old town. You’d probably miss it if you were just wandering about. As soon as you enter the narrow corridor that is the main entrance of the hotel, the ocean is right there!!!! The staff are great and super patient, the prices are very very affordable.. I would totally recommend this place If you’re on a budget. The sunsets here are to die for. Go here to catch the golden hour! Only thing I felt like would need improvement is the overall maintenance of the place... but if you don’t mind that, I bet you’ll really love to watch the sunset here!

A great restaurant right on the waters edge. Three floors with plenty of seating space having wide views of the ocean. The food is plentiful and delicious. A must visit. The entrance is tucked away and a bit difficult to find. Just ask around, locals are very friendly and will guide you.

Close to the fort this restaurant is good value and a fantastic location. One star removed as no alcohol is served but this place is all about the location, lovely.

Amazing restaurant with great ambience and nice ocean views (especially at dusk). Variety of sea foods and swahili dishes are available. Their chicken biryani is delicious and served in generous quantities :) I'm definitely visiting again!

Gave it 5 stars because I've heard a lot about this place and I wasn't disappointed. It was my first time visiting. Our lovely server Hamisi took care of us but I wasn't able to tip him because he was too busy and we were running late! I'll be back for sure! Great food and ambience. Clean washrooms.However, I'd advise the management to fix the railing or switch to metal because some nails are loose and it could potentially be dangerous...overall great lunch! Will definitely be back for dinner 🥗

Forodhani restaurant, about 100m from fort Jesus. The place place to devour Delicious coast sea foods as you enjoy cool breeze from the ocean, with a magnanimous view of English Point, Marina Hotel🏨.

Amazing view, breeze. Food is good. Service is okay, they are doing their best. Worse during rush hour, lunch time, one can wait for more than 15min. The rush slows down after 3pm. I think the best time to go is when the sun is setting, beautiful end to the day.

This restaurant had some of the most amazing views of the waterside in Mombasa. It is beautiful on a sunny day and has multiple floors. Food was very affordable and large portions. The biryanis and egg curry was amazing!

Beautiful views, The crockery were old and chipped. Hot beverage were properly made, The starters was delicious. Main meal was too oily and burnt.

Great food, lovely ambiance, magical sweet space. And the food is fresh and lovely. The waiters wait on you with diligence. The place is clean and picturesque, especially if you are dining in the afternoon

The white sands on the other side of the Indian Ocean at English Point Marina looked inviting. The orange buoy swayed in the evening breeze, as a dhow and several pleasure boats bobbed on the warm ocean waters. The best thing about the meal was the setting: a table overlooking the ocean.From the Forodhani Restaurant in Old Town Mombasa, it was a snapshot of paradise. Forodhani boasts of great sea food and Swahili delicacies. The Swahili setting, with the ebb and flow of coastal Muslim life playing outside at the narrow Old Town streets arch for a perfect evening out in Mombasa. After out of this world soy and almond lattes at Java House Nyali, we sauntered down to Nyali Centre for a manicure and pedicure pampering from Mia Bella Salon. So we approached the ferry crossing back to Diani with some trepidation. We had earlier in the morning stuck bumper to bumper in traffic as the ferry services were halted due to some malfunctions. The drive back to Diani was equally a long one. Almost five hours stuck in Mombasa. My dear Sumer was so exhausted that she fell asleep in the car.

I most definitely enjoyed my lunch .. taking my food while looking at the ocean i can say was the best Not forgetting the iced tea that i had Lemme not forget their biriyani is to die for absolutely the best

Great place to visit, amazing views and the food is fantastic. We were served by Phoebe, who was so helpful. The food was amazing, such a gem of a place to visit.

We enjoyed the traditional Swahili biryani with chicken overlooking the Mombasa harbour. It's a beautiful and really large restaurant. The waitress was attentive and they have really delicious food!

Pretty good place. It has a nice calm environment. I sat there ate four small somosas while reading the newspaper for about 90 minutes. Cool vibe. Here

Well the setting is awesome 💯... Decorations and all ... The food isn't that expensive but it doesn't meet the expectations... Maybe i didn't pick the best position to sit ... But there were flies so that's something to look into

They do try their best. Food is good most of the time. But carmelized onions (on burgers) is only a lot of fried onions, or a lot of sugary fried onions if you ask them to make sure they carmelize them. Adding sugar alone is not carmelizing.

I have eaten so much food. Everything was on point. Faith served us with all her heart. Thank you young lady. Our demands were many because we have been away for too long. The Chef came to talk to me because my very sweet pancake was too small. She gave me 2 more at no cost. Seriously how can I not go back? Thank you Blueroom for an Amazing experience. The mango juice was tantalizing. I'm definitely coming back.

What a great place. The decor has changed since my last visit. From a fast food joint, it is now a tastefully prepared space with cosy spots for intimate meals. The staff are very human and friendly and go to great lengths to please. They ensure that you get exactly what you want and even assist in any other issue. ( A waitress helped me overcome some IT challenge and advised me on local travel and transport). You must try the lime and mint lemonade, absolutely delicious. The food is high quality and worth every penny. A beautiful transformation.

Loved the service this time...the waitress was attentive and really followed up to see to my comfort. The previous time I was totally ignored...I actually walked out after 10 minutes without being noticed. Hence the appreciation post. My server Lydia did a great job kudos 👏. The ice cream however tasted store bought...not hand made by the establishment

The restaurant has extremely warm stuff members. They are fast in their services and the place offers really nice food (freshly cooked on order). The price ranges from mid to high but the food portions make you see the worth for your money. Although the restaurant is busy it is not noisy. I really enjoyed the ambience. It is an ideal place to grab a bite with your loved ones while in town. On top of that, they have clean restrooms which i really appreciate

At the centre of Mombasa town and yet gives you a very cool atmosphere and space to have your meals. It is really nice and amazing for solo dates, group dates, or more. Quite spacious too, therefore providing a cool atmosphere. It is good for kids and family. They have a menu that cuts across, and their food is great. Amazing service from the waiters and waitresses, clean and organised. Suitable location for packing or getting a cab.

The experience was exceptional. I thoroughly appreciated the impeccable service; the waitstaff was remarkably courteous and punctual.

Have been coming to Blue room for a long time. Never disappoints. Good quantity & quality portions. Wide selection. Great restaurant. Highly recommended.

Came back to relive their legendary masala chips. Ordered with poussin. Both brought back the nostalgia. However, their tikka was pretty bland and their coleslaw tasted like it was off.. our server was great and accommodated every request. The lady behind the ice-cream counter, however, seemed liked she was there because she had bills to pay - utterly nonchalant.

It's quiet ,decent. Welcoming aldo....they food is really great ....I love the ambiance of the place...the servers are amazing....it's also a clean place

The ambience is very good, it makes one forget about all the heat in Mombasa. Quick, courteous and friendly waiters and waitresses. The food was amazing. Fresh, made on order. Huge selection on the menu and not the usual biryani that is offered in every restaurant in Mombasa. Will definitely go back to taste something else

Amazing customer service We ordered brownies with ice cream and fresh orange and passion juice. Atmosphere was nice and clean Waitresses were humble and ever smiling

This place has lost its touch, not the same it used to be. Ordered Garlic Fries which were microwave heated and soggy. Food took forever to come on the table. Mint chutney was off and diluted with water, Sweet lassi overly diluted with water. Naans were not fresh. Overall food seemed to be heated of the previous day and served. Waiters don't write down the order and forget half of the order. We spent 2 hours of time at the restaurant just to be disappointed with the quality of food and service. After several reminders the item is brought to the table. Its sad to watch once a great restaurant going down!

Food took over an hour, and we also changed 3 tables because we were a large group and wanted to be comfortable. The chairs are super uncomfortable. Food was average. The chicken liver was pretty good.

Amazing food , good fast service . Over years and years old . Very famous for its North Indian cuisine. Fairly good ambiance. Air-conditioning doesn't help much and it's gets stuffy at some point .

Indian restaurant at Mombasa, still lack the authentic Indian taste

A friend recommended this establishment for an evening meal. Upon entering the building, I realised I had eaten here several years ago. It turned out to be a good restaurant and the fare was tasty too. If there was a downside to my experience, then it was the heavy, very noisy chairs around the tables. Of course, I made my displeasure known to the owner of the restaurant and also suggested a cure to these noisy chairs. Hope he follows my suggestion.

Great food and tasted ready good. The naan was the size of tortillas, and I made tacos with the shrimp dish and salad with lime juice. They don't take credit cards...

Can never go wrong here....food quality is excellent..... service is too good ...don't hv to wait long for fresh hot meals ..must try their butter chicken Nd Mari methi chicken

I like Indian food... here. The food here is great, if spicy is your thing as well as curry. I'm mostly here for the curry because its bloody delicious and with some Naan on the side, it's a "curry munchers" dream dish. I'd mostly recommend the Chicken Masala (Boneless) or Butter chicken (boneless) served with buttered Naan and/or rice. The food is great, service is... okay-ish. The food will get to you in time, if hopefully you went in where there were little to no customers in apart from you. I will warn you to be on the lookout for the usual flies that may make their way in, to ruin the sanctity of the restaurant. The decor of the restaurant is traditional albeit outdated, but in contrast to the cuisine they specialize in. Oh and there is more than just the usual curry here, as they do serve a variety of different dishes.

If you a fan of Indian dishes this is one of the great places to try... service is great and the food is great.

The restaurant had a weird smell which they said was a pesticide. The chicken curry was okay but the mutton biryani is not a mutton biryani, it is more of a mutton curry with rice on top. The lights in the place aren’t good. The orange juice which in menu said it was fresh had tasted of orange squash. Hope they change their recipe. The roti tasted wonderful and that was the only positive thing with food. The service however was excellent.

"I ordered takeout Manchurian from this restaurant for 700 shs, but was disappointed by the minuscule portion size. It was far too little to satisfy even a single person, let alone serve as a meal. When I reached out to express my concern, I was informed that this portion was considered a starter. Disappointing experience overall."

This restaurant has stood the test of time! Still serving fresh wholesome meals. Got the paneer, mutton, chicken with the naan - all good! Too much sugar added in the juice, please reduce! Parking is a nightmare

The Waiter was Kind and Attentive. The food was below average, the naan bread was terrible. The curry was terrible in taste and quality. I don’t recommend

This place needs renovation. Please upgrade your air conditioner. They are not effective anymore. Food quality is good, but naan, roti, chapati and Paratha need improvement. Though a good place for Indian cuisine in Mombasa. Veg & non.veg curry & sabji are excellent. Try their lassi...don't miss it. Biryani is too good.

Nice paya ,naan,prawns curry and Lassi

I don't live in Kenya anymore but a trip to mombassa is incomplete without a meal at Singh's restaurant! Their food is amazingly delicious, the same home cooked taste and consistent

I really enjoyed their Indian cuisine. Very tasteful and full of flavour especially their Palak and Butter chicken. A must try

Nice muglai food, needs to have some light to read the menu for food order's, service friendly and very helpful. Overall enjoyed

Amazing as always. Swahili prawns are to die for. First class dining experience. Welcoming hosts. Will surely be back for more.

Great location in the middle of the CBD with a chill ambience. Good for meetings and conversation. Great food, absolutely loved it. Value for money. Great service, attentive and hands-on staff Highly recommended!

Must visit place in Mombasa town. Want to find a better Indian briyani in Mombasa come to this hotel. Atmosphere was elegant, service was very good. Health and hygiene was highly practiced. Cleaning your hand with a hot towel with the natural elements was a innovative practice I haven't seen before. At the end of your meal you will find a natural supari / mouth fresher / digestive agent will give superb finish.

Good food, great service, nice atmosphere - can highly recommend this place.

Such an amazing experience. Food was so tasty (so much so a review had to be written). Service was A+. Presentation of the food was beautiful (you can tell they put a lot of attention to detail in decor and presentation).

They are closed on monday. So i went there on tuesday. My reception was great and the welcomed me with greetings and smile. In entrance i saw a lot of certificates hanged on the wall which this restaurant received as an award by recognized travle companies around the world. Like hospitality industry, tripadvisor, other safari and tourism bodies and they looked amazing to me. Interior is very nice and they serve people onntable ala karte. Due to covid 19 siguation i did not found other customers othar than me at that time. The waiter brought mene card and i started reading, more than 100 different varity of dishes were listed on that card and price was reasonable. Most of the food items were from asian cuisine and i requested for hyderabadi biryani. The manager suggested me to order one of their best biryani called swahili biryani and i accepted the offer. Both costed the same. After waiting for 15 minutes they served me biryani with coca cola, chutnyies and curd. I asked for spicy biryani and they did meet my requirement. I liked the taste of it so much that i decided to write this review. I enjoyed instrumental music in the background and liked the ambiance of the dining hall. The painings of old times touched me and antique collection it items mesmerized me. This restaurant met my expectation and like to visit them again. I requested for bill and they brought mouth freshener with vill. I felt very happy about this lunch. Thanks team shahnai.

Delicious food. Friendly service. Good advices. More than enough food. Reasonable prices though not cheap. Toilets need update. No alcohol.

Top notch service and the proprietor is so passionate about food. He takes time to explain about every meal and hot is is made. I loved their Mango lassi, Garlic nasn and cheese! 😋 a repeat is a must

Never found authentic food in Kenya like this place. AMAZING FOOD. Definitely recommend. Ordered a mix chicken platter

Barka's Biryani was average, self service has a whole new meaning here. If only they had a system in place then you wouldn't have to go back and forth to get one thing. Am told the Friday Biryani hits and tastes different. Maybe I'll go back to confirm.

Serves authentic coastal food. There was no menu when I was there however. Food is kind of a buffet service.

Best biriani 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌 i took the chicken one , shawrma and the ukwaju (tamarind )/was sweet.

I would not recommend eating here. We got food poisoning from the food. Please check on that and ensure your food is fresh and clean. The food has no flavor. It was very bland.Also ensure there's no commotion and drama in your restaurant. It was really uncomfortable. However, the service was great. It was like eating bad food that was served well.

A kiswahili feast of perfection that'll make you both happy and satisfied beyond imagination!!!

Just had drinks. Saw great reviews online so probably food is good but I dint get a good feel abt the place. Better presentation needed

i ordered for biriyani and tamarid juice,it was nicely presented.the portion they served was perfect like i didnot strugle to finish it,it was soo fresh, the taste and aroma where on point ..but they gave me 1 piece of chicken!why🤣🤣i really wanted more

The aquarium though delapidated and dark, has these beautiful tiny gold fish and a single black goldfish/Betta fish that is just breath taking.

The Chicken Biriani is really tasty. Portions are very generous. I wish I could eat more, keep washing it down with the sugar cane juice with a hint of ginger and lemon.

True taste of Kenya. The chicken Biriani was tantalising the passion juice couldn't stop myself took 4 glasses. The staff very kind. Lets go support them.

I'd recommend their biryani to everyone.. especially chicken biryani... amazing and totally worth it. Its affordable and with great service from the staff

Food here was great. We went as a team and we got served within minutes. Everyone got what they wanted at affordable rates
