The restaurant of Coral Rock has a good reputation but God knows how they got that far... The quality one can expect from such a high graded place, is FAR BELOW acceptance. The people who wrote good reviews on this place, have obviously never tried one of the genuine local Jambiani restaurants. Too bad for you, guys... Don't settle for... More

Quite possibly the slowest service in this section of the cosmos. Order the evening dinner at breakfast and you might just get it before bedtime - if they actually have the items advertised on the menu. Staff are friendly but chef is quite possibly outside smoking Ganga. Avoid the nachos as I'm pretty sure they caused my anus to explode... More

If you can then put your order in at lunchtime or be prepared to wait (same as all the others down the beach). Good selection, good value, excellent wine list, friendly staff, fantastic location. Give breakfast a big miss, everything was raw and they never had half the stuff on the menu. It was Ramadam but still not worth it.... More

I had a fish burger that is probably the best dish, for the value, I had on the island. And, during the complete... More
