Pita Pan [favorite]
Pita Pan is a Bistro that serves great Coffee & Breakfast delights as well as Lebanese-inspired dishes from crispy Fish Fingers, healthy salads, crunchy samosas to "to die for" Shawarmas and Spring Chicken. Sadly only opened from 9 am to 5 pm and closed on Sundays.

Asha Bistro [favorite]
Probably the best location of any restaurant in Diani Beach: At Asha Bistro, you sit two meters directly above the Beach and have the most magnificent look at the Indian Ocean - just 1km away from our place. The menu has a lot of choices...creative starters, fresh salads, seafood cooked to perfection as well as beef, chicken & veggie options. The local Swahili Cuisine can not taste much better than there. The only issue: the food takes forever to come, because they prepare nearly everything once you order. Fresher than fresh. Must try: The Ginger Crab, the Curries. Careful: On Fridays, the have BBQ nights (1.500 ksh per Person/ All you can eat). Usually very crowded, so please book ahead. Breakfast Time starts daily at 7am for 1.000 ksh per Person including aromatic coffee.

Piri Pirie's Bar & Restaurant

They sometimes host Quiz Nights, Hockey Nights and for even more fun check their Facebook Page please. They also broadcast a variety of Sports like Football at the Bar (that also has tasty Cocktails prepared by a talented mixologist). There is a big playground for children in the back. Must try: Crab au Gratin, Steak “Piri Pirie”, Fish & Chips. They offer gluten-free, vegan and lots of vegetarian options as well!

The K
One of the newer additions to Diani: The K! The first Korean restaurant might easily be overseen because of the unappealing location next to the busy main road. But in the evening, when traffic calms down, it is a nice place to sit, also due to the tasteful interior & furniture.
The menu has limited options to chose from. Its a big pro, because each dish is served with the utmost love for details and completely fresh and tasteful. While many Asian Cuisines seem to be famous for the use of lots of hot spices, the Chefs at "The K" do not overdo it. Everything is a delight on its own and a lovely culinary safari to Korea. And don't worry, if you cannot manage to eat with Chop Sticks, regular cutlery can be requested.

Havana
You are on vacation, so you have time, yes? Yes? Then go here. The preparation time is absolutely insane on many days, but the dishes taste great. The menu comes with so many options, that everyone will find something. The pizzas are "okayish", but everything else is truly worth the long, long time you spend waiting. Try the Quesadillas and Seafood Options! Breakfast is great, too.

Jolly Pizzera
No place in the world would be complete without an Authentic Italian Pizza place! Jolly's is just that. You can even order by phone and get it delivered to your doorstep. They have plenty of great pizza choices, with homemade mozzarella and imported, Italian ingredients. While the prices are higher than in other places, but you definitely pay a fair price for what you get. Special recommendation - go on a Thursday and try the oven-baked pork shanks.

Kokkos Café Bistro
Opposite Chandarana Shopping Center is the place for all who carve for something sweet. They offer all sorts of cakes (also Take-Away is possible) and probably the best Coffee in Diani. The Breakfast Options are fine, the mains as well. You will get a mix of Indian/Swahili Food Options like Samosa & Falafel, but also a great variety of Pasta Dishes, Sandwiches and Burgers. You must definitely try the curries, as they are among the best in Diani! Also: Go here if you fancy a quick bite. Extremely fast service and preparation times!
Breakfast available at 7.30 am!
