Had such a great lunch at the beautiful spot. It’s quite new, but they are already on the ball! The menu is very extensive. We had a selection of appetisers as we couldn’t decide, there was so much choice. All delicious. I could easily eat there again and again as there were at least 15 dishes I wanted to try. The staff were so attentive and welcoming too. There’s even a beach and loungers to rest if you end up ordering everything you want. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

I don't usually write reviews, but had to for anchor! The food was absolutely INCREDIBLE, and the service was equally amazing! Jazz and Aman made us feel at home, and the way they are passionate about food is clearly evident with their unique menu and flavoursome dishes (seriously!). I have been in Diani for 2months, and can safely say this was my favourite meals to date. You will not be disappointed. Slight side note, they change their dessert menu every week, and if i lived here i would be tempted to go every week)

Excellent food and service. Big menu and desert menu that changes every week.
