Very welcoming staff. The place is relaxing. The food delicious and homely while elegant.
Last minute we walked in, excellent staff & atmosphere, good quality reggae ???? Snapper & Tuna tasted beautiful Definitely worth visiting
Es ist einfach nur überteuert. Preis Leistung stimmt nicht. Hatten Swahili Garnelen und baracuda. Beides OK aber nicht besonders. Die Plätze liegen auch weiter hinten. Vorne sind liegen für die Hotelgäste.... read more Könnte man besser gestalten und beiden einen Bereich am Strand geben.
The best time to go there is morning or lunch. Good food and a million views. The place is beautiful and the service is very good ????❤️
Edit March 2025: Finally made it back here after 3 years and was happy that their strive for quality is unchanged! We tried different places in Diani but always end up back... read more at Salty Squid. Their staff is well trained and super friendly. Luke the nicest manager even came by to ask for feedback for quality consistency. He also came back the next evening assuring us of the changes. Very refreshing to see a restaurant take feedback so seriously. Thank you, guys! And we will be back soon hopefully 🙂 2022 Feb: My fav place in Diani! The vibe, the staff, the food and the view. Love it all!! The food is very fresh and the lobster and shrimp taco's were some of the best I've eaten ever. We had a birthday and the staff made a big effort with a dance, song and dessert. They're so friendly and helpful. We had to leave Diani because of the lockdown and I made sure my last meal that day was at Salty Squid. I hope to return soon!
