The salty squid is truly beautiful. But I don’t know if the lady who was serving us was passive aggressive because we were Kenyans and 99% of the other guests... read more were white. But I was so disappointed yet I was looking forward to visiting this place. Anyway at some point she completely ignored us and I called Candy who was so warm and made us feel wanted there. Kindly thank candy again for me. I don’t remember her name because she didn’t have a tag on. Kindly improve on that. We just come for drinks and we ordered squid to taste, because we were already so full. The food, tea and strawberry fizz that we had was so delicious and were well prepared. I’ll be back again next time.

Rude staff.
Loved it!..it was full but the service was still quick and very friendly..tables were well spaced...had an accidental salt spill and they graciously offered to remake the dish..personally I was... read more just going to manoeuvre,scoop out the salt crystals and work it out 😂😂 ...so thank you for the exceptional service..food was yummy and fresh!
Salty Squid is a lovely restaurant surrounded by the lush vegetation that is so characteristic of Diani. It is located a little away from the main hub of activity, which... read more gives it a more peaceful and relaxed atmosphere. The entrance is beautiful, and the terrace offers a fantastic setting right by the sea. The food is tasty, well prepared, and the menu has plenty of variety. Don’t miss the octopus or the squid: they are both absolutely delicious! Prices are slightly higher than at most other restaurants in the area, but the quality, location, and overall experience make it worthwhile. The staff are also very friendly, attentive, and always happy to help. Definitely worth a visit!
The prawns were very greasy and inedible, and the white coffee was poorly prepared. The service was not very attentive. The only plus was the great location and beautiful beach view.
Food was amazing, service was good, cocktails were good. A must if you’re in Diani. Amazing views to the beach as well.
