About Tarboush Café
A busy Swahili canteen on Makadara Road on the edge of Mombasa's Old Town, next to the Central Police Station, popular with locals for biryani, pilau, grilled kebabs, shawarma and fresh juices at long shared tables. It's open from morning to late evening, cheap and filling — a good place for a solo meal after exploring the Old Town.
