This place ain’t cheap, but it’s delicious! I ordered the squash soup and the tuna tataki, both were yummy. The panoramic view of Mombasa is also impressive. I went for lunch, must be nice at night too

You see, many hotels don't take good care of
mostly their waiting staff. But this Restaurant, gives me a feel that they don't waste the energy their staff put out towards their work!!
I really wanted to surprise my friend on a prevalentine sort of day, and the process started randomly when I asked a waiter(Kyalo) if they could organise a special dinner. He explained so much to me, served me very very well, thought of sorting very small details like giving me a table that has an extra chair for my handbag, and best part is, he gave details to whoever is in charge of planning my special dinner (not many staffs pass information after a guest query)
Well, I had to keep making phone calls, which were not being received until eventually I got a response and transferred to Hilda who was patient with me, made sure she got back to me in the shortest time! Wonderful!
Then, I went again to the hotel to confirm the spot I wanted, another lady who also made my boyfriend birthday surprise on the dhow showed up(her name starts with a P) and she took me straight to Hilda's office to have me sorted (Which Kyalo was kind enough and already offered to take me but I appreciated his attention and opted to wait at the waiting area)
That, day came, Emma took charge with all details given to her(i love the team communication amongst each other) and she was so so efficient and ready for me to give her signs on what to do next.
Richard, another great waiter! He was just too kind and on standby in case we needed anything, he just did his job so well...
And I overheard another waiter being kind to different guests who seemed from Korea as they were leaving, this waiter appreciated them and asked if he should reserve the same spot for the next day! This showed that the waiter is also helping make more business!
Not to forget the hostess who just gave a great smiling welcoming us and once she knew we are the ones who are taking the reserves table, she passed the information so fast I didn't notice to a gentleman to welcomed us to our table, I wish I got their names but I could say, the whole team!! Wow!
I'm an ex hotelier, I know how things work on the inside, and if those things are happening, these staffs are far too good with their hospitality!
Keep up to everyone in the team!! Keep up guys❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This was our second visit to the restaurant and it was even better than last time. The service is extremely attentive and management is very involved. I was very impressed with the staff knowledge of the different wines.
The food was out of this world! Very impressed. Especially the Swahili lobster and tarte tatin was outstanding.

Tamarind has an excellent choice of sea-food and for the time i tried the muscles and let me tell you, i have become Tamarind Muscle Fan.
I had ordered grilled fish with chips and it was an absolute delight. Finished the entire (big) portion, rather should say i polished the plate.
To end the meal we ordered Creme Brulette and they serve a variety three in serving, so you get to taste all the different varieties of it. I believe its a very good idea.
