Eating Out

During the month of Ramadhan, most restaurants will be closed all day until sundown. The more expensive restaurants catering to tourists, however, will remain open all day.

For cheap but good Swahili food, try the rice pilau or beans at the New Star Restaurant. Hapa Hapa and the Bush Gardens on the waterfront serve good food for about KSh 200-400. The restaurant on top of Petley's Inn have consistently good food for a bit more. The Barbecue Grill at Peponi Hotel is open to non-guests and is a bit expensive, but also good.
