Marewa Grill

If you’re into simple food, looking for the place that the locals love, love swahili food then the Marewa Grill is the place for you. Its basic, simple and they serve only one dish. Nyama Choma and Ugali.

Don’t be deceived by the simplicity because what they make is the best Nyama Choma and Ugali you’ve ever tasted! The meat is goat that is locally sourced and fresh. Its tender, wholesome and tastes like a gift from heaven.

If you have not tasted Ugali and you really want to experience how it should be made Kenyan style, then you absolutely have to eat there. This is a master class in turning basic foods into the most delicious and nourishing meal you have ever eaten.

The portions are very generous, and the food cooked fresh to order. What’s best is it’s the most pocket friendly place you will find. By pocket friendly, I mean extremely inexpensive and very affordable. If you’re on a budget, then this is the perfect place to eat.

The tables are benches, so they can host groups of friends easily. If you’re alone, you get to eat with the other locals, with a chance to make new friends and share stories. You will meet some amazing people and experience what it feels like to be a true Malindian.

We love this place and go there very often. It’s a great place for families and the owners are warm and welcoming. You will not find a website for this or even Facebook page. It’s a hidden secret that only we Malindians know, and the locals keep to themselves.  The best Swahili food in Malindi.

We have no hesitation in recommending this place as simple homestyle food as served in most Kenyan homes on a daily basis. Here they have elevated it into an artform.

If you need a local to show you all these amazing places or simply help you explore and enjoy the real culture of Malindi, Personal Lovemalindi Guides with language skills can be booked on this site.  Low cost fixed price transport can also be requested with us in the same way.
