I have visited the African Cafe Malindi twice. The first time with two friends and we enjoyed our meals. Its one of the cafes I have surely enjoyed its service. For the times I have been there, there was someone ready to serve me. The food was well done. The last time I ate pilau and I tried their fried chicken.
