Jambo Cafe is 12th on the list From Vacation Ideas
Meaning ‘hello’ in Swahili, Jambo Café is an effusive mix of award-winning African-Arabic inspired cuisine served in a laid-back, relaxed atmosphere, and warm and welcoming hospitality from owner-chef Ahmed Obo. Hailing from the tiny island of Lamu, off the coast of Kenya, Obo draws inspiration from his deep African roots and his mother’s aromatic kitchen, where he learnt everything he knows, to produce his very own exotic fusion of Swahili fare.
Exuding aromatic spices, scents, flavors from around the world, with rich Arabic, Indian and European influences, Obo’s mouth-watering fare draws visitors from afar to dine on his unique dishes in a distinctly African ambiance. Tuck into fragrant, cinnamon-dusted plantains, spicy chicken curry or goat stew, or coconut-peanut kebabs surrounded by warm ochre walls adorned with paintings of lions on the Serengeti.
