Mangrove Centre
Mangrove Centre is a beloved riverside eatery and community hub nestled on Harambee Avenue, overlooking the creek on Lamu Island, Kenya. With open-air tables under a traditional thatched roof and a rustic, local feel, the Centre offers an authentic culinary experience cherished by both locals and travelers . Operating daily from early morning until late evening, it serves up delicious, affordable Swahili and seafood dishes—think pilau, mandi, grilled fish, calamari, octopus, tuna, kingfish, samosas, mshikaki, and freshly squeezed juices. The grilled fish is frequently praised as “one of the best I had in Kenya,” while its generous seafood platters and local biryani get major thumbs‑up
