About Us

Dive into the vibrant ocean flavours at Mawimbi Seafood Restaurant, Nairobi’s premier destination for seafood enthusiasts. With a commitment to freshness and quality, Mawimbi offers a sophisticated dining experience that showcases the best of the world’s oceans, delivered right to the bustling streets of Nairobi. Mawimbi’s decor transports you to the seaside with its nautical theme and elegant maritime touches. The restaurant features a stylish, contemporary design with coast elements—think coral motifs, hues of blue and sand, and subtle lighting that mimics a serene underwater ambience. The outdoor terrace, adorned with lush greenery, offers a breezy, open-air dining option reminiscent of a beachside retreat.

The menu is a testament to the diversity of the sea. Specializing in sustainably sourced seafood, Mawimbi offers a range of exquisite dishes prepared with precision and flair. From the raw bar to grilled specialities, each dish is crafted to highlight the natural flavours and quality of the ingredients. Start with fresh oysters or ceviche for a taste of the sea, followed by the signature Lobster Thermidor or Grilled King Prawns. The chefs also prepare unique dishes like the Coconut Crusted Tilapia. For those who prefer turf to surf, they offer select non-seafood items that maintain the same high standards of quality and taste.
