Mombasa is a beautiful city located in Kenya, on the east coast of Africa. It’s a melting pot of a city, full of culture and delicious food. In this video, I met up with Farhana and Samil, both from Mombasa, and both love to eat.
Lighthouse - First place we headed on this Kenyan street food tour of Mombasa is along the coast called Mama Ngina drive, or Lighthouse. You’ll find an abundance of small snacks along the road with a view over the cliffs of the Indian ocean. Probably my favorite street food was the fried cassava chips, which are fried fresh, put into bags, then seasoned with salt, chili powder, and lime juice.
Here are the main street food snacks we had:
Coconut, heart of palm, cassava - 340 KES ($3.33) total
Cassava chips
Roasted and fried cassava
Coconuts
Sweet potato, corn, many things
Next we headed into the heart of Mombasa to eat from a roadside shop selling a mixture of bhajias, fried potatoes, and fried chilies. This is legendary street food in Mombasa! When you order she puts all the fried things onto a plate and douses them in coconut chutney and hot sauce. The combination is delicious, and my favorite item was the fried chilies.
Bhajia plate combo - 90 KES ($0.88)
Azad Ice Cream - We then had sugarcane juice, a Mombasa Kenyan favorite. They added sugarcane, plus ginger and lime.
Damascus Shawarma - 200 KES ($1.96) - One of the popular food trucks in Mombasa is Damascus shawarma. It was pretty good.
Abbasi Darbar - To finish off this Kenyan food tour of Mombasa, we ended with a mega meat feast at Abbasi Darbar, a great place to fulfill all your meat needs. We ordered most of what they offer on the menu. Everything was delicious, but I think the winner for me was the spring chicken tikka.
Total price - 1,900 KES ($18.64)
Again, thank you for Farhana for taking me on this amazing Kenyan street food tour of Mombasa, Kenya. Be sure to check out her channel here: / @farhanaoberson

I grew up in Mombasa. Now in England.Took my wife and kids to show them my roots(August 2018)Funnily enough we did the same tour,light house,juice bar and the bbq place. 3 weeks of just eating the tastiest food. Brought back amazing childhood memories
Why did you leave?
Why did you move out.. you regretting now.. lol!
You left all this goodness for us?!!!
I had to pause this video, go cook, the come back and watch so we could all eat together. It is the African thing to do!😌 Ain't no way I'm stuck in Nairobi and y'all are in my hometown eating all the stuff I miss without me😎.
You got jokes just like Sakina lol 😂

Hello..thanks from Kenya
I'm from Nairobi and I feel like I'm watching another country's food culture😋 Kenya is soooo diverse!
Lilly Kamau hahaha😁 same here
me too😭 sobs
Lilly Kamau that’s what made up British colonial boarders create.
That's really sad that it's so diverse! You're being stripped of your culture just like African Americans were. Instead of other cultures conforming to yours, you all are conforming to theirs and calling it your culture.
I was born in Mombasa, went to high school in Kikuyu, worked in Eldoret, Nairobi, Kakamega and Kisumu...just saving a couple thousand every month i could travel anywhere in Kenya. And I still didn't even cover 10% ...it opened my eyes to many cultures and understanding...please travel while you can. It doesn't take much and you'll appreciate the world much more...I'm now in Chicago and I still visit many states to learn...😉
Two things that fascinate me about Mark ;
1. He doesn't seem to add weight no matter what or how much he eats!
2. He's always smiling!
Awesome human 😊
He probably has a tape work,all the foods he partakes in from around the world,ewww, most of those foods, people are not clean!!!
The Juliette Method true...
Respects food
@@bettyemurphy3285 you must be fat...with clean macs n all
the foods he's eating are fresh and organic food unlike in America where they feed ppl with artificial foods tha ts pumped with steroids that make u fat
As a child I was assigned Kenya as my country of study. Amazingly beautiful country.
haha
tell us more🤗
Indeed beautiful country Kenya yangu.
Kenya has such a mixture of cultures. I love how you give us such a beautiful view of Kenyan life.
I have been to Mombasa 30 years ago and I consider it as one of my best holidays ever , it has on of the most beautiful beaches in the world and great food
i LOVE HOW WE HERE IN DOMINICAN REPUBLIC HAVE SO MUCH IN COMMON, OUR AFRICAN ROOTS ARE SO PRESENT IN OUR AFRO CARIBBEAN CULTURE
Rigth like mexico culture 😎👌

My respect towards mark wiens is absolutely increasing day by day. I am insanely addicted to his videos. His smile while eating delicious foods adds exta texture in his videos. Tons of respect and love from Nepal to Mark Wiens and his family💙💙💙💙💙💙

How can anyone dislike Mark’s videos, he’s always so respectful. Thank you, Mark; for showing us the true beauty of each country you visit. We are traveling vicariously through you. ♥️🙏🏽
Thank you Mark & Farhana - this brought back memories from 1955 - when I used to go to mombassa for an annual holiday - 1st stop was light house, 2nd stop was Daal Bhajia & later on Abbasi - you have covered it all very well - thank you. 2 ideas for your next trip - A stop over for a Paan - & also Blue room
Sugar cane drink with lime and ginger is one of the best beverages in the world! The more you release a new Africa video, the more I enjoy the continent! I didn't know Kenya had such strong Arabian and Indian influences
Bruno Gambini good comment👍👍
Bruno Gambini Kenyan coast. + Portuguese, Spanish and English influences it really is a melting pot of cultures.
Sugar cane drink it also available in indonesia..i drink it everyday..lol
The Kenyan coast was a stopover for Portugues and Arabs on their way to India :(spice route).
A lot of Indians migrated to East Africa during the British Empire, with Mombassa being one of the key cities. Many have since moved back to India or Britain, but there is still a large Indian population there.
Who else is 4rm Kenya 😀
Love how food unites countries........can see many Indian food in this video.....love Kenya from India 🇮🇳
@Lameck K no... This foods have been a traditional meal for coastal guys for as long as I've known what food is.... I think it just dates back all the way before colonization... Back when Kenya traded with Asian countries... A lot of cultures left an impact in both continents
@@positivevybes247 still, the point is that some of the food has its origin in South Asia (India and Pakistan especially).. Even the names of some foods are exactly the same as they call them in India but we have our own sort of variation. Things like chapatis, pilau, biryani, samosas etc... But you are right about the influence being from before the railway and colonization
@@parkwb32 fr even chapati and pilau😅damn
WHAT UNITED LOOKS LIKE WHOLE FOOD IS FROM INDIAN REGION
@@aniruddhasajja9561 its a mix of african, indian and arab . kenyan chapatis taste complete different to indian ones
Glad to see my country being represented well I should definitely visit Mombasa again 🇰🇪🇰🇪
If not in India I can happily live in Kenya...food, people, environment is so indian..wow wish I can go there someday...
shock unto you discovering how different it really is
You are welcomed but know that you are only a visitor with that being said you should show respect to all Kenyans u come across and that's how it is no negotiations. Have fun but remember key word respect.........
Welcome bro
Come bro
Wlcm....Kenya hakuna matata
Thank you for taking us to places we would never in our lives reach! People of Kenya are beautiful, it's wonderful to see the mix of Indian/Muslim/African people on the street!

Welcome brother
Thanks for coming down to Kenya. Most of these type of shows avoid Africa on the whole. I think this is the first time am seeing food tasting in Africa. Cheers Mark!!
Truth
u indian living in kenya?
The same hand that count the money dipped in the food to sell the customers nasty woman
The same happens in bakeries in France so I guess it’s a widespread problem.
@@joelame4624 You don't know the kind of Vitamins in your Hands
Lol
Combination of Leafs and Your Hand
I love it Kenya has different kind of cultures and people. Having dishes of Arab, Indian, and African food. I would love to travel in Kenya soon
Not really as great as you may think. You may end up hating it.
west max Why?
@@God.sDaughter people drive chaotically and if they perceive that you might be rich or foreigner they jack up the price. Then they like to get excessively close to each other. The concept of personal space is non existent there(minor issue). Lots of pick pockets.
You are welcomed
@@westmax8491 Silly Tanzanian
I think I would be in food heaven with the combination of African/Indian/Arab influences. Mombasa might be the Homeland I've never visited. Does Mark feel a little bit guilty for torturing his viewers??
welcome to Kenya suzette
Torture is an understatement
Kenya oyeeeeeeeeee ❤❤❤
Oyeee
Oyeeee
Oyeee
Im born in Mombasa,moved to norway at age 15 in 2002. I have not back since because of residency issues. Watching this took me back home,my streets,my food, light house etc. Now im dying to go back. Mombasa raha ❤️
Wow have not been back since!!!?? I was born and raised in Lamu ive visited america since I was a child and ended up living in the U.S. from when I was 16 ive been back home at least 8times last time 3yrs ago and cant wait to go back soon Inshllh.I cannot stay long without home..I hope u get to go
the struggle is real, i miss my crazy Nairobi roads too. no one here in the West can ever understand how there is so much comfort in the chaos
The comfort in the chaos though
This country looks gorgeous!! Hello and As Salaamu alaikum from Canada 🇨🇦

Africa is so blessed we are not so money oriented, always taking each blessing as it comes, speaking of blessings their is lots of good natural food in Africa, no wonder we strong, and we can survive nature's harsh conditions.

@@shawnhall3849 Are snow storms considered harsh conditions?
money are so overrated
I'd love to visit someday. Looks like amazing food and people
That's it. I'm moving from Nairobi to Mombasa. THIS was the ultimate motivation. Damn I'm so hungry now!!!!

Love you too from Kenya, would love to see Mark in Morocco to get the sights and sounds of your country
@@lilimuthemba3138 it's beautiful
I love your facial expression when you like the food you're eating. Thank you, Mark, for showing the rich culture and great food of Kenya. It's like fusion of different cuisines.
Thank you so much for putting a spotlight on Kenyan cuisine and just travel for food in general. I can smell, taste the foods just by watching your channel. Bhajia[sp] was a treat every Sunday in town when my brother and I sneaked from church to go to Luthuli Avenue.
Kenyan is one of the country's I would like to visit one day.

Mark Weins is THE definition of a world citizen. So versatile , adventurous☺️
If I could find a well paying job & a house to rent I would move from San Francisco Bay Area yo Mombasa, Kenya without giving it a second thought! The food looks so mf good & Mark's food tour guide is gorgoues 🤷🏾♂️
To build a house will be very cheap trust me. This place is beautiful. You're welcome

Welcome brother
Your ability to connect with locals is something I constantly strive for. Loved this video Mark :)
Beautiful Mombasa food!. Thanks alot for promoting our county to a greater audience. We all love The Magical Kenya!😍

Great video. Thank you Farhana for the tour with you. She is very good. Thank you all very much. It looks delicious.
was trying so hard to focus on the food and Africa but just kept being distracted by Farhana beauty :) - it's great to see vloggers meeting up promoting cultures and each other.. happy 4th !
Bry New York 😊😊😊😊
I've been to Mombasa several times, but you have done a much better job of exploring the street food than I ever did. Can't wait to get back now. Thanks!
Thank you Farhana and Mark. You've bought back good memories I had when I first visited Mombasa
You mentioned that you actually grew up in Nairobi, Kenya and I cldnt resist to subscribe.
I suspected the guy was a local a long time ago. He knows soo much about our country (Kenya)
This makes me miss Kenya so much! I feel homesick watching you eat all the delicious food :) Especially the cassava!! Thanks for sharing, Mark!
We are waiting yuh back home sweety........kenya the perfect place to be.......😍😍😍
Wien ought to be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize for bringing the world's people together through his harmonious food adventures!
"Let me try some of that chili..."
(Wind whooshes some chili in Mark's eye)
"Oh wow"
I went to Mama Ngina drive and Abbas Darbar Cafe because of watching your videos. I loved it so much. I only went to Mombasa because i watched your video and absolutely loved it.
I love your videos. Keep em coming mate

Hey Mark, I love your videos. Of all the food bloggers and connoisseurs you seem to genuinely enjoy food the most. Thanks.
Mark love all your videos. You re by far the king of food blogging and a all round amazing person...
Wow, am a Kenyan. Never been to Mombasa, so definitely its my next destination, you really made me salivate especially your reaction after you immediately taste the food, it's incredible
Mark next time your in Kenya stop by Eldoret, have a taste of mursik! Thanks for visiting Kenya again 🇰🇪
I love the way he blends in with all cultures,, you can’t know he’s a foreigner even the how he says the food names and the words sounds like he’s lived there for a while
Wonderful sights and sounds of Kenya, Mombasa. That is great street food, used to enjoy it in neighboring Uganda , Kampala.
Thanks for this great upload.
Kenyan food is amazing 😍 love from Somalia
Am from Nigeria but i never realized Kenya was this diverse. Some Spicy Afro.
Yeah Kenya Somalia Tanzania they are very diverse.
And this 3 century has the same culture.
Extra diverse
Ashley Hartford Somalia is literally 90% ethnic Somalis. The food is diverse in the south do to ancient stays of the banadir coast trading in the past Arab, Indian , Persian Italian influences.
Yes oooo you don say already. But our pepper is not like the west african one haba your own pass our kenyan one
Just Like Our beloved Brother Ghana
Lol
Thank you again Mark. Im learning about the sights and tastes of Mombasa
Mark makes me wanna go visit there one day!! What a beautiful place
I see a lot of comments coming from Indians and Pakistanis that the food looks like theirs. For your information the Swahili people use to trade as far as China. Do you know it was the Swahili people who showed Vasco dagama how to sail to India ? Do you know that the first people to take a girraffe to China was Swahili people? The Indians were brought to Kenya by the British to build East Africa Railways . After that they never went back to India. Most Kenyan Indians were from Gujarat , Panjabi and Kerala. As for Arabs they have been there before the Advent of Islam.
Hassan Alhussein good answer!
Arabe came before indians
Hassan Alhussein agree until u forgot or didn't mention why the Arabs was there. Why were their there
Kenisha Gilkes There is no need to mention everything .If you want to know the history of East Africa go to the library and do your own research.I have no time to explain everything.I just responded to those Indians who think everyone or everything is like Indian that's it.
Hassan Alhussein I wonder why you're so hostile I know why they came it was for people just like you that could do good in the most Savage way for their country but I don't see the point of you not mentioning why they came you said why the Indians came.
One love from jamaica🇯🇲
Yes one love we love jamaica in lamu!! Bob Marley I and I
One love back u have to visit kenya
