Malindi Restaurant Tips by burgerkebab

Restaurant Name: Bar Bar Malindi

hi all,
My wife and I recently spent a week in Malindi in November 2007 at the Coral Key Beach Resort.The resort is amazing and its really really well taken care of. You'll have a brilliant holiday there.

The restaurants in Malindi are nice and a good place to visit is Karen Blixen.The owner takes personal care and food is really really good. We ate there twice in our holiday and were impressed both times.The pepper steak is exceptional.

Never EVER eat at a place called Bar Bar in City Centre Malindi.We had the misfortune of eating there one lunchtime.
The staff are lazy as hell and they must get it from the owner who was rude to everyone( including staff) and had no time for anything except reading the papers and his flock of call girls.There were three of them on his table when we visited.

We ordered the meat lasagne and a sandwich.The sandwich was really good but the meat lasagne was stinking and hence we returned it. The staff also agreed that meat seemed off.Lo and behold to our surprise the bill came and we were asked to pay for the lasagne that we had returned because according to the owner its the way Italian Lasagne is meant to be.He actually had the audacity to ask us if we had ever been to Italy.We have never been to Italy but know for sure that no where else in the world do they serve meat that stinks and say that it's supposed to be that way.Not surprisingly when we offered to pay for it, provided he had a couple of mouthfuls and swallowed them, he started swearing at us in Italian and asked us to leave the restaurant.He even proceeded to tear up the bill saying since we wanted it for free, we can have everything for free.

The same owner once owned Jacaranda Resort in Watamu that closed down within a few weeks of opening and I would not be surprised with the attitude he had.The same resort is now run by different people and its flourishing and in fact they even expanded the resort again this year.

Visit this eatery at your own risk.................

Favorite Dish: Sandwich was really good and fresh.
Be carefull about having any meat dishes here as they seem to prefer storing meat for a long time.
