The Majlis Restaurant is a focal point of the hotel due to its unique architecture as well as its excellent cuisine and service.

The Restaurant roof reaches 14 meters high and is built in the local tradition of casuarinas and mangrove poles, covered in very long palm leaves (‘makuti’ in Swahili).  The makuti is laid in overlapping patterns, creating a waterproof structure of exceptional beauty and simplicity.  The Restaurant combines an open-plan veranda on the ground floor and terrace/bar on the first floor, offering panoramic views over the Ras Kitau bay.

The Majlis Restaurant offers the finest dining in the Lamu archipelago, featuring the best in local produce and fresh seasonal ingredients.  We regularly purchase seafood in the morning from local fisherman returning from the sea on their way to market.  The Restaurant’s cuisine tastefully combines international dishes with the best local produce.
