This is the Kenyan coastal food video to be shared to anyone thinking of visiting the Kenyan coast. Share it with all of your friends outside of Kenya or with anyone who wants to know where to eat when visiting Diani.
@RichardDebs right? I do miss the Kenyan coast. Perfect pace for me. I am envious of you that you can work remotely and enjoy the sun, good food, and great music. One day, though. One day!
@@RichardDebs Suddenly there hands stopped working?? you nailed it! that attitude of those wazungus is not welcomed at all even if they are paying for the services....good observation.
@@domcharleskariuki8964 It is not like they were checking in. They just went swimming like everyone else. It was just too extra for me. I'm gonna get myself in trouble I suspect but I'm literally moving to Kenya to get away from that sort of attitude.
@@RichardDebs don't worry, you will never get in trouble for calling out something like that in Kenya. Great content and perspective you bring is refreshing.
Eating good food is one thing, talking about the taste, the flavor is a whole new exciting experience. Somebody call the food police because the foodies are in town😂
😂😂 You're safe 😂😂. Though Nomads is considered one of the finest restaurants in Diani, they still botched the pesto pasta each time. Avoid it until they get it right. Meanwhile a chain restaurant like Java House makes amazing samosas.
This video is for the tourist. I will soon do one on swahili dishes but first we need the visitors to come. Kenya is soo foreign to Americans so we need to dispel their false perception first.
@@RichardDebs I used to host American military in 92or93, Americans have a very different view of Africa as a whole it's good you are influencing your people to come to Kenya,I used to make Swahili food and also make kikoy design beach wear and attire at present in in north coast working from home.
The best travel channel ever how you tell the stories makes someone glued to the screen and i can watch you over n over thank for putting kenya on the map
Very nice of you to say 🙏. I hope to keep you entertained. Be sure to share any of the videos that you enjoy with other. Yes - Keep watching over and over. Invite the family over to watch 😊😊
Next time try eating a mahamri with a samosa combined. Just put them togather. Same thing with a mandazi but i assumed coast has more mahamri than mandazi. I used to eat this at school and it was the bomb combination
Asante sana! Since you have just discovered my channel, be sure to share the ones you really enjoy with friends. I'm trying to get the RUclips algorithm to present my videos. I post exclusively about Kenya but most kenyans never get the choice to watch my channel. So do share with friends and family. Take care.
just came across this video! Totally love it. I have a property in Diani and did not even know of half of these places. Now I have places to visit and recommend to my guests! Thank you
An airbnb property? If you do and it is nice, I will happily share it with Americans because this channel is all about promoting Diani and all of Kenya to Americans. No relationship needed, it just needs to be a good place to stay. I happily advertise restaurants and places to stay as long as they are nice.
@@coachkorry.doinglife My email is on the about tab on this channel. Just send it in an email. I happily promote all entrepreneurs in Kenya. However, it needs to be a good place.
KOKKOS is my breakfast spot whenever I visit Diani also I go to havana bar for their seafood soup cant wait for my vacation thanks for this video will definitely try out your suggested spots Karibu Kenya
Chillspot is still my favorite place to just relax and have a drink. I'm going to promote Chillspot until you're force to expand. Just be sure to leave room for me and Cuse. One day soon, I will invite fans of the channel to join me at Chillspot. I hope that you're ready for the influx of business.
Hmmm, what's this? A restaurant I haven't heard of? It does ring a bell but I haven't visit. Since you have, give me a couple reasons why I should visit.
My top two places in Diani are salty squid for their prawn curry and nomads for their pizza's.also some roadside shack called Williams sea food and grill,they have the best calamari
I have to say that I haven't had great pizza in Diani thus far. The pizza in Malindi is more interesting. Perhaps because of the more Italian influence there. I must try Williams sea food and grill. Let me know which side it is on using the Java House as a point of reference. I can't imagine ordering pizza at Nomads 😊
@@RichardDebs was just wondering if she's still talking about Kenya, some of the vocabularies used flew over my head.. felt like someone explaining "2" + 2 = 22 and "2" - 2 = 0 for the first time.. lol
@@licioussamuels haha, she described the places and dishes just right😊. Diani Beach delights with its international cuisine. I however did manage to have ugali twice when there. Really looking forward to a full week of sampling all the great foods in Nairobi.
@@bernardbondi4984 I can't. I'm too hurt that you called me Dave. I trying to think of a way that you could make it up to me. Hmmm, maybe share a couple vids from the channel with 5 friends. I'm thinking that might do it. 😂😂
great food review. I did not know diani has so many restaurants. Once the road to Diani is complete in august watch a spade of investments of all kinds coming to diani
@@RichardDebs The only bottle neck against DIani reaching its full potential was accees of a road directly from the island of mombasa. The only way one to get to Diani from mombasa via the likoni ferry which brought its own issues depending on the ferry. Like delays one would miss their flight if the ferry delayed due to break downs, bringiing materials for building was cumbersome using the ferry from weight restrictions and if you took the ferry the exits are so steep so one was limited to materials they could transport. Now that there will be a direct connection hussle free to Diani the boom is coming. My advise to you is buy a plot or land in Diani before the prices get too crazy high and build cottages and start an AirBNB and bring tourists from America. You will not regret. Diani has everything for American tourists from water sports, restuarants, of course the beautiful beach and more. Travel to Mombasa will only be 30 min if one wants to explore the city
it just seemed unnecessary. It is not like they were checking in. All they did was go for a swim so I can't understand why they needed someone to carry their bag. Perhaps I'm too sensitive to such matters. This other video however was next level: ruclips.net/video/iHbT3eFU7A0/видео.html
This is the Kenyan coastal food video to be shared to anyone thinking of visiting the Kenyan coast. Share it with all of your friends outside of Kenya or with anyone who wants to know where to eat when visiting Diani.
Good
Kenyans love a person who enjoys their food.
I will showcase more tradition Kenyan food soon.
Richard...oh my God. Waking up to nothing but snow and your food video. Oh, and you calling out that mzungu for not carrying his bags.
Who needs this cold weather? I'm prepping for my permanent move in a couple months and can't wait.
Yeah, I couldn't help but call him out 😊

Have you met yahya in diani,you should also have lunch at a Swahili home,and Swahili breakfast not eggs Benedict
This video is for the tourist. I will soon do one on swahili dishes but first we need the visitors to come. Kenya is soo foreign to Americans so we need to dispel their false perception first.

"Chips"? Yep! You're now officially Kenyan.
I'm learning quickly 😊
You said 'chip' instead of 'fry', you are Kenyan!
I learned very quickly 😂
You are so funny, your humour is definately kenyan baked🤣🤣😂. You should try coconut beans and mahamri at diani
I've mention to a couple folks that you better believe that I will be taking in kenyan food in abundance going forward.
😂😂
I like this man; this man I like.🇰🇪 Every time I smile when watching his videos. Very funny and great vibes.
I'm happy that I'm still able to keep you smiling. Thanks for watching. 😊

Thank you so much for the kind words. Thanks for the support 🙏
Next time when u having the samosa's try n squeeze the lemon slice that comes with it,inside the samosa.u gonna like the taste
The lemon was perfect at Java House in Diani because their samosas were full of herbs and spices which paired well with the lemon.
Hey dear I'm in Nairobi kindly allow us to meet I'm your big fan 💕
Thanks for being a fan of the channel. When I'm in Nairobi next, I will announce plans via the community page 😊
Oh yeah kokkos is a banger!
I think that I've eaten at Kokkos at least 10 times by now.
Could you kindly help us find out why everyone is kinder obsessed with 'Forty thieves'?
i thought it got closed down?
Agreed. Else I would have tried it.
Love your vidz like a lot, I have stayed at Baobab loved the food too..thanks for all the food joints recommendation

Dave? 😂😂
😂😂 sorry for that Richard can you take Dave as your third name?😂😂😂😂
@@bernardbondi4984 I can't. I'm too hurt that you called me Dave. I trying to think of a way that you could make it up to me. Hmmm, maybe share a couple vids from the channel with 5 friends. I'm thinking that might do it. 😂😂
beautiful eyes
Hahaha, thank you 😊
great food review. I did not know diani has so many restaurants. Once the road to Diani is complete in august watch a spade of investments of all kinds coming to diani
Road to Diani from where? From the new bridge (Airport) heading to Diani? If so, that truly will be a game changer.
@@RichardDebs Yes. the mteza and mwacha bridge
@@rahimali3004 I agree about the rush of investments coming to Diani. Kinda surprised that this wasn't addressed earlier but better late than never.

@@rahimali3004I agree but any investment would be for long-term housing for kenyans interested in working and living in Diani
Eating is a talent 😁😁
It is my super power 😂
@@RichardDebs watch weight for who? Weeat like thieves heaven we will be given new bodies
This video good but the fact that you are also disgusted by acts that seem unnecessary makes me want to meet you keep up the good work.respect

theres a reason most people go to that kenyan coast never to return be careful try out watamu too
Too late, I'm making Diani my home 😊. I will be sure to spend time in a few more coastal towns.
Im a kenyan and ingnoring people is not very good and I dont like your last vid
Well I certainly can't please everyone all the time. I do hope that there are some videos that you do enjoy.
I'm hungry! Ha ha ha ...
David - You have to try the burger in Mombasa but you will need a nap after 😂
@@RichardDebs I'll have to try when I'm in Mombasa (DIANI). :) Thanks for the recommendations.
So yummy where are you based at am in diani too i wish to taste this as well😋😋😋
I listed all of the names of the restaurants so if you're in Diani, any tuktuk driver can easily take you there. Enjoy the delicious foods.
@@RichardDebs thanks seen it
Why do you talk with your hands?
Let me think about it and I'll get you an answer real soon.
@@RichardDebs 😂
I love the food.
But can you also try street food also
I will do a proper street food video in March/April when I return to Nairobi. Trust me, it is coming 😊
@@RichardDebs I'd love that.. I'll be waiting
