About

Mombasa 's history as a trading post has left a palpable imprint on its modern day cuisine. Dhows ploughing the Indian Ocean routes brought spices and recipes from the Indian subcontinent, and closer to home the Arabic influence slid down Africa's eastern seaboard as far as Kenya. Today this means that alongside the indigenous Swahili dishes you're as likely to find an excellent biryani as a rich Turkish coffee. Then there's the coast itself yielding a colourful and impressive catch and the equatorial climate which brings with it exotic fruits, many of which find their way into fish dishes. When it comes to Swahili cooking Recoda restaurant has been wearing Mombasa 's culinary crown for years. Recoda wins on the atmosphere stakes(its walls photographically document the history of the city) and the food remains both excellent and wide-ranging.
