Urban Street Food

Mombasa


This textbook hip, yellow-walled place with an industrial vibe in central Mombasa does several things few other local establishments do, including great coffee, small plates of hummus, juicy burgers and gorgeous fresh juices. There's a distinct Middle Eastern slant to the otherwise international menu, with shawarma jostling with pizza and a selection of good breakfasts. Delivery is available.
