Why Travelers Love Yul's Restaurant
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
My favorite Restaurant! Super friendly staff, nice athmosphere, good music and of course, great food! The Hotstone Beeffilet is an absolute favorite 😋 I can absolutely recommend this Restaurant to anyone, who wants to enjoy a delicious, satisfying meal in a nice seaside location. I know Yul‘s since 30 year‘s when he started. And since 30 year‘s Yul is keeping the german quality in his restaurants. I know Robert’s, Moorings, Nico, Tamarind, The Marina and other restaurants in Mombasa which are already closed due to loosing quality. But only one is keeping his high quality. The pizza is better than Robert’s (I was really upset about the quality there now and do not understand the Hype for that restaurant) and Nico, the Burgers are without competition and always fresh made grounded meat. The avocado prawns are the best and Tamarind cannot compete against Yul’s seafood dishes. The dishes is outstanding and German standard. This is the only restaurant which keeps is standard over year’s and even Yul is not there. I have been here this week several times as I did holidays in August and will come back in December for fishing. Thanks for Daniel for the good service at the table. I would give 6 stars for this restaurant if possible. You need to try out also the cocktails. Thanks for great food here. the fisherman By the way, the have the best ice cream in Kenia. We had a great time, lovely spot for food and ocean vibes. We enjoyed our delicious food and drinks while feeling the cool ocean breeze. The pizza was fantastic — thin, crispy, and packed with flavor. The beach is beautiful, though it had quite a bit of seaweed when we visited, and it felt a bit busy with vendors and camel rides set up along the shore. It can feel slightly overwhelming if you’re looking for a peaceful beach moment, but it adds to the local charm in its own way. Gets very busy after 1pm. We arrived around 11:30am and stayed for at least 4 hours. We were recommended this spot by family who live here, and we’re glad we came. Much love from Canada!

Ticking Yul's Aerodrome has been on my bucket list for a while now and I'm glad it met my expectations. I must admit the restaurant is a legacy place based on the quality of the infrastructure. It's been there for a while. A view by the beach with a breeze as you enjoy your meal ? Sold! The service was prompt and I enjoyed the ice cream 🍦 Looking forward to the next one!

On vacation and drugged my siblings for some nice icecream at Yuls. They had wanted to go elsewhere but I remember really enjoying myself. We had icecream and my brother had a vanilla milkshake which was more like a fresh cream milkshake! Something was off. How are we all sick! The deep fried calamari was horrible - too much flour coating.
