Char-Choma

“Great food located by the ocean. With fresh meat and seafood. Grilled to perfection. Jane was an amazing host at the meat section. And Catherine took very good care of us during our visits. The meat is freshly prepared. So may take a bit of time, but worth it!”

Fun fun fun. It was a lovely surprise to be invited out for dinner with a friend... the restaurant was absolutely buzzing, full of people, laughter and the kind of happy chaos that tells you the food must be good. As a first time visitor, I did find myself a little confused by the format and wasn't entirely sure how everything worked, so a little guidance would have been helpful for tourists. That said, once I found my feet, it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was lively and authentic, and although it was loud and wonderfully hectic, it all added to the fun. I would happily go back... and the cocktails were definitely worth ordering too. 🍸

I’ve visited Charchoma more than five times now, and it’s one of those places I keep going back to for good reason. The restaurant has a warm, relaxed atmosphere that works well for both casual lunches and laid-back dinners. It’s comfortable, not too loud, and easy to enjoy whether you’re with friends or dining solo. The food is consistently good. Their grilled meats are the highlight for me, well seasoned, juicy, and cooked just right. Portions are generous and satisfying, especially if you’re ordering to share. I also appreciate that the food comes out fresh and hot, even during busy hours.Their cocktails are great too! Their Service has generally been pleasant. The staff are friendly and welcoming, and while service can slow down slightly when the place is full, it’s understandable and still handled professionally. Orders are taken accurately, and the team is always willing to help with menu recommendations. The pricing is fair for the quality and portion sizes you get. It feels

First time here and loved it! Was here for dinner & hoping to do lunch soon, to enjoy afternoon drinks by the beach ⛱️ I had lobster and shrimp which came with butter and lemon (I think) sauce, it was delicious. Other family members had chicken, crispy fries,lamb chops, mashed potatoes and lamb meat balls. Everything was delectable! Can we talk about the pineapple choma maitai, lordy lord, order that drink while there. Downside, I just don't understand why ladies and gents are sharing washrooms, good thing is that every washroom has its own sink and is quite spacious. I'll be back soon.

We went for lunch and it was fantastic.||The restaurant was full but we were lucky to snag a spot with a perfect ocean view. Even though the restaurant was packed, service was top notch. We were served our drinks quickly. We had to wait a bit for the meal but it was worth the wait. We ordered a platter that had different meats and sea food. Each was done perfectly and we happy with the meal.||We enjoyed the music being played by the DJ and had a overall good time.

★★★★★ Char-Choma is one of our favorite restaurants in Mombasa and, in our opinion, one of the best beachfront dining destinations on the coast. The restaurant is especially great for families with children. There is a large playground right next to the dining area with excellent play structures, and they often have entertainers who keep the children engaged and having fun while parents relax and enjoy their meal. As the name suggests, Char-Choma specializes in expertly prepared grilled meats and seafood, but the menu is much broader than that and offers something for everyone. We've enjoyed everything from hearty meals to lighter options, and the cocktails are consistently excellent. It is also a wonderful place to visit in the morning for coffee and breakfast, with beautiful views and a relaxed atmosphere that makes it easy to linger and enjoy the surroundings. The service is always friendly and attentive. The staff genuinely make guests feel welcome and appreciated. We have hos

We came here for lunch and stayed until dinner! What a vibe! You pick out your meats from the deli and they cook it to perfection. Then you select your sides. Everything was delicious. We enjoyed the beachside entertainment, walked a bit on the shore and then came back for dinner while sitting facing the passing camels and beach goers. The DJ was fun and was entertaining kids so for those with little ones, you can turn your kids over to the entertainers and enjoy your food in peace. I cannot tell you how much I love this place!
