Why Travelers Love Tapas Gold
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
The only bar in Mombasa that is Classy from my view. Friendly to customers and the waiter are on their toes. The restaurant set up is perfect 👌. Entertainment (band) was fantastic, I felt at home. The atmosphere was brilliant 👏 10/10. The service, I couldn't fault it #great! On the food, I have rated 4 stars 🌟, not because of the cooking?!! NO! Is because the T-bone steak quality was NOT the best and didn't worth the price 🤔 😕. Please, will be best if you get the best quality product ( meat). The chicken was good, the burger 🍔 was the best so far 😋. My daughter eat the whole lot to our surprise as she never finished her meals anywhere we go, that's 10/10. I will still recommend this with the hope of better quality of meat as you have the best chefs 👨🍳.. Tapas Cielo is a classic, funky bar you can always count on for good vibes! Excellence option for music, food and drinks on a friday evening. Quite a nice lovely place, with good decor, high seats, free wifi and a large cocktail menu. The food portions were small, but the quality made up for thay. The food is delicious and top notch, and we just loved hanging out here.

I really liked it here, the service is good and the staff is really friendly. It's a place for drinks, food and shisha. The cocktails are typical night club cocktails that are sufficiently spiked. It gets busy and empty during the evening with ups and downs. For a night out it closes too early and my thinking is that many leave to dance on the other side of the centre.

We stumbled upon this hidden gem of a bar and grill just before our flight home. The atmosphere was incredible! the staff were warm and welcoming, and the owner was an exceptional host. To top it off, it's a karaoke bar! The team went above and beyond to take care of us. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in Kenya. Thank you for making our last night in Mombasa so memorable!
