Koa Lamu

$$
Cafe and Bistro

KOA Lamu brings a bold and modern twist to the rich culinary traditions of the Swahili coast. Located in Shela, Lamu Island, this bistro is where time-honored flavors meet contemporary finesse. The menu is a celebration of coastal heritage, featuring fragrant coconut curries, charcoal-grilled seafood, and handcrafted dishes that reflect the soul of Lamu.

Sip on a tamarind spritz or an ice-cold dawa as you indulge in freshly baked Swahili bread, expertly spiced prawns, or a slow-cooked goat biryani. Whether you’re unwinding after a day of dhow sailing or gathering for a feast under the stars, KOA is where tradition, flavor, and effortless island charm come together.
