Mombasa is a beautiful city located in Kenya, on the east coast of Africa. It’s a melting pot of a city, full of culture and delicious food. In this video, I met up with Farhana and Samil, both from Mombasa, and both love to eat.
Lighthouse - First place we headed on this Kenyan street food tour of Mombasa is along the coast called Mama Ngina drive, or Lighthouse. You’ll find an abundance of small snacks along the road with a view over the cliffs of the Indian ocean. Probably my favorite street food was the fried cassava chips, which are fried fresh, put into bags, then seasoned with salt, chili powder, and lime juice.
Here are the main street food snacks we had:
Coconut, heart of palm, cassava - 340 KES ($3.33) total
Cassava chips
Roasted and fried cassava
Coconuts
Sweet potato, corn, many things
Next we headed into the heart of Mombasa to eat from a roadside shop selling a mixture of bhajias, fried potatoes, and fried chilies. This is legendary street food in Mombasa! When you order she puts all the fried things onto a plate and douses them in coconut chutney and hot sauce. The combination is delicious, and my favorite item was the fried chilies.
Bhajia plate combo - 90 KES ($0.88)
Azad Ice Cream - We then had sugarcane juice, a Mombasa Kenyan favorite. They added sugarcane, plus ginger and lime.
Damascus Shawarma - 200 KES ($1.96) - One of the popular food trucks in Mombasa is Damascus shawarma. It was pretty good.
Abbasi Darbar - To finish off this Kenyan food tour of Mombasa, we ended with a mega meat feast at Abbasi Darbar, a great place to fulfill all your meat needs. We ordered most of what they offer on the menu. Everything was delicious, but I think the winner for me was the spring chicken tikka.
Total price - 1,900 KES ($18.64)
Again, thank you for Farhana for taking me on this amazing Kenyan street food tour of Mombasa, Kenya. Be sure to check out her channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCruHCa93z0-aV1DjdYtlPXQ

Yummy 🤤
if you want to experience both india and arabia without travelling to asia just go to mombasa.
Iam looking for job now please. I am single mom and my kids are in high school fee for them
I feel homesick watching this. Born in Mombasa, grew up in Europe. The cassava made my mouth water, and then my memory flooded me with all the tastes and smells.
Goes to Kenya for food, eats Indian food! 🤣
I am from Nairobi but go to Mombasa regularly😅
Wow i had no idea there were Indians in Kenya
That bhajia plate is absolutely indian food. And all other street food is so common here starting from the way they prepared sugarcane juice, sweetcorn etc. Nice to see so much of similarities
UGANDA 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬IS WAIIIITTTTIIIIINNNNGGGG FOR YOU MR MARK, COME ALONG WITH YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIFE 😂 PERHAPS SHE WILL CONVINCE YOU TO RELOCATE TO UGANDA AFTER TASTING OUR DELICACIES 😂
Wta healthy delicious food
Mark, you are so adventurous when it comes to all foods, but I saw the shock and fear in you when you were offered the raw kidney by the maasai. you were insisting on eating a very small piece of the kidney. kidogo kidogo. With some courage, you tasted it and then it turned out to be sweet and squishy and then you asked for more. I liked the way the gentleman sat next to you and encouraged you 😀
Mark Wiens, samosas are a favourite for all Kenyan kids. Karibu tena Kenya. I would like to meet you next time you come to Kenya. Hit me up when you come back.
Nothing is as sweet as eating tasty meal in a company of a charming pretty woman
A lady who can eat in most of those places Mark eats is worth keeping, ladoes of nowadays would pester their men for KFC take aways
