Shehnai Restaurant

Went for a late lunch at Shehnai Restaurant. The food was good, especially the prawns, which were absolutely delicious 🍤. Service was friendly and quick. I really enjoyed the experience and would happily recommend it!

Not what it was 30 years ago rubbery chicken tikka and butter chicken scrappy pieces small portion, waiter was good and the family very polite as usual. If the father could come back and eat here he would probably be very disappointed in the quality of the food. (Watch out for bill was not expecting hidden charges.) Location is now in a garage. Ps After reading some of the reviews I wonder if they are staff or family friends.

Shehnai is hands down one of the best restaurants in Mombasa! Their butter chicken is rich, creamy, and full of flavor easily one of the best I’ve ever had. The paneer tikka is cooked to perfection, smoky yet tender, and the corn curry is a hidden gem that keeps you coming back for more. If you’re looking for authentic taste, excellent service, and a memorable dining experience, Shehnai is the place to be. Highly recommended!

This restaurant truly deserves more than 5stars from the friendly staff to the management taking care of you every step of your meal ,the menu has lots of varieties and excellent vegetarian options ,the potions are out of this world when i tell you breakfast was the last meal i had and i couldn’t finish my meal ,the soft Indian music transports you to another place as you enjoy your food The meal i had was recommended to me by the staff and my god the lamb was soft ,juicy and tender every single spoon you take bursts with flavour i asked for medium spicy and i got medium spicy the desert just hit the right spot not overly sweet and if you are in Mombassa visit shehnai restaurant and you will love it whether you are dining alone or with friends this is the place to go from my observation for couples the restaurant is a great date night spot my overall experience was great the food wait time was small and i had a good time surely will be back thank you (Note:If you want cant finish your meal ask and it will be neatly packed for you )

They are closed on monday. So i went there on tuesday. My reception was great and the welcomed me with greetings and smile. In entrance i saw a lot of certificates hanged on the wall which this restaurant received as an award by recognized travle companies around the world. Like hospitality industry, tripadvisor, other safari and tourism bodies and they looked amazing to me. Interior is very nice and they serve people onntable ala karte. Due to covid 19 siguation i did not found other customers othar than me at that time. The waiter brought mene card and i started reading, more than 100 different varity of dishes were listed on that card and price was reasonable. Most of the food items were from asian cuisine and i requested for hyderabadi biryani. The manager suggested me to order one of their best biryani called swahili biryani and i accepted the offer. Both costed the same. After waiting for 15 minutes they served me biryani with coca cola, chutnyies and curd. I asked for spicy biryani and they did meet my requirement. I liked the taste of it so much that i decided to write this review. I enjoyed instrumental music in the background and liked the ambiance of the dining hall. The painings of old times touched me and antique collection it items mesmerized me. This restaurant met my expectation and like to visit them again. I requested for bill and they brought mouth freshener with vill. I felt very happy about this lunch. Thanks team shahnai.

Had a nice experience at Shehnai! The food was tasty and the service was great too. You can tell they put effort into the flavors and presentation. My only letdown was the portion size — for the price, I was hoping for a bit more on the plate. Still, a lovely spot if you're after quality, just be ready for lighter portions.
