Had the Nundu and Paneer tikka to start us off and boy was that the perfect prelude of what was to come. Entrees were the chilli bullet burger, chimichuri steak and chicken tikka, all accompanied with masala chips and mango lassi. Happy to report that all were really delicious. Clearly the family that runs this place knows their stuff. To top it off, prices are really reasonable for Nyali. Location is a bit tricky but you basically only need to find the American burger place - the entrance to Toby's is right next to it. Look for a black gate and be at peace with their private parking. We will definitely be back. Toby’s Grill is hands down the go-to place for the best food in Mombasa! 😋 The food is always delicious, with a wide variety to choose from, and the service is excellent. They also serve a great selection of non-alcoholic drinks and have recently added a dessert parlor — perfect for something sweet after your meal! Love the relaxing ambience and the secure parking too. Definitely one of my favorite spots in town! Great spot for grills. We had Lamb Chops and the weekend T-Bone special. Chimichurri sauce is on point! Well done, we will be back

Vegetable Burger & Masala Chips – A Taste That Travels From the bustling streets of Dubai to the laid-back charm of Mombasa, the Vegetable Burger and Masala Chips combo has proven itself to be an irresistible bite of comfort, flavor, and nostalgia. Whether you’re grabbing a quick meal in a modern food court or stopping by a humble coastal eatery, this dish brings with it a familiar warmth that transcends borders. The Vegetable Burger is a vegetarian’s dream – a golden, crispy patty made with a medley of spiced vegetables, layered with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, and a tangy house-made sauce, all tucked neatly in a toasted bun. The balance between the crunch and the softness is perfect, and the spices are just enough to awaken the palate without overpowering it. But the real star of the show? Masala Chips. Hot, freshly fried potato chips tossed in a rich, fragrant mix of tomato, garlic, chili, and East African masala spices. The aroma alone is enough to stop you in your tracks. Each bite is bold, fiery, and deeply satisfying—especially when paired with the burger or enjoyed on its own. Waffles with Ice Cream & Chocolate Syrup – A Sweet Symphony of Indulgence If there’s one dessert that never fails to impress, it’s the heavenly trio of warm waffles, velvety ice cream, and rich chocolate syrup. This classic combination is the ultimate comfort dessert—where hot meets cold, soft meets crisp, and sweet meets sweeter.
