We went here for coffee and cake on valentines day and found that the Coffee was sensational!! Made with freshly ground beans and easily the best we have had in along the Jambiani/Paje beach area. We ordered the Chocolate Cake and chatted with our waiter and told him that we were on our honeymoon trip and they drizzled the chocolate... More

We stumbled across this restaurant while walking down the beach! We were all very pleased! The service was awesome, very polite, very considerate. Very nice considering Africa lacks in the service department. Not only was the service great, the food was unreal. In fact we came back the next day for lunch. It was delicious. Pat and Allistar (owners) are... More

Ate here and had the fantastic lassies (mango) and two calypso wraps on their home baked Turkish flatbread delicious. The only thing that lets this place down is speed of service. I know these guys are training and kudos to them for that but I've lived in Africa for 3 years and never had such slow service for 2 wraps.... More

Although it was a bit tricky to find this restaurant the food was brilliant. In comparison to the other food we've tried along the beach, the produce seemed really fresh and high quality. We had a spicy chicken pizza-which was piled high with toppings and a vegetarian wrap which was really delicious. For pudding we had a chocolate cake and... More

We spend about two weeks in Jambiani in July 2011 and went to Alibi's Well quite often. They were always very friendly with our two kids (2 and 4) and even had some toys for them to play with, while waiting for the food. The view over the ocian is great. The food was really good, I highly recommend the... More

Travelled here in 2009. After days of trekking through mountains and being worn out and filthy, this place was a relaxing, welcome bit of paradise. (after a shower of course!) I had a mad craving for chocolate and was offered, to my surprise, a worthy substitute, date cake. Closing my eyes it was almost the real thing, sweet, rich and... More

Thank you for your review! So when are we going to welcome you again for another piece of delicious date cake? We also offer special cakes now - carrot-zucchini cake? sweet potato cake? pumpkin-sultan cake? Or just a sweet chocolate cake? We hope you keep on remembering our students... The JTTI team More

This restaurant is part of the Jambiani Tourism Training Institute which is a non-profit NGO which funds the comprehensive training of hotel and restauarant staff completely for free. Not only is it a good cause, but the food is fantastic. The menu is always diverse often with a strong Asian influence from Japan to Sri-Lanka. Portions are generous and the... More
