Built in Arab style with high arches and a crenellated roof , the elegant, gleaming white building has the perfect setting – a starlit terrace perched on a cliff overlooking the picturesque Old Harbour of Mombasa.
In the early seventies there were no quality restaurants in Mombasa, and Kenyan born Chris Seex, who was managing a coastal resort hotel at the time, was determined to correct this. One of his ambitions was to create the finest seafood restaurants in Africa. With little financial or moral support he designed and built the Mombasa Tamarind, a dream, which he fulfilled with passion.
The menu is a blend of the best of French, Asian and African cuisine. The Tamarind's specialty is seafood and only the freshest ingredients are used. With its stunning setting, it is often referred to as the finest
seafood restaurant in Africa.
Personal service, original presentation and attention to detail have developed the Tamarind’s reputation as one of the finest restaurants in Africa, and achieved the ambition of the founder.
The seating capacity of the restaurant is 160 people and it currently has a staff of 120.
