Mawimbi Seafood Restaurant
Kenya
Mawimbi Seafood Restaurant and Café stands on Kijabe Street in central Nairobi. Its menu moves between raw preparations, charcoal grilling and richer cooked dishes, with tuna and avocado in ponzu offering one starting point and Caribbean seafood stew with coconut cream another. Prawns are grilled over charcoal and served with garlic and Tabasco butter and kachumbari. Lobster appears grilled or as Thermidor with mushroom, wine, Cognac and cheese. Shared platters bring together fish, shellfish, octopus and calamari, while seafood tagliatelle provides a pasta option. Chicken and other alternatives make the menu accessible to companions who prefer something beyond seafood.
