Kazuku Bar & Restaurant
sustainable Swahili Inspired menu
Our Kazuku Bar & Restaurant is a tranquil open-air oasis where you can sit back, relax, and take in expansive views of the dunes and mangroves. The vast sandy point where the channel meets the Indian Ocean - after which Kizingo gets its name - is visible just to the south. Enjoy the setting sun as you sip a drink from the bar, built from doum palm wood and adorned with hand carvings depicting the story of traditional life on the island. Colorful upcycled glass bottles and hand-painted tiles decorate the walls of the restaurant, along with hand-made Kenyan crafts and grass weavings made in Kipungani village.
Sustainable Menu
We are proud of our Swahili-inspired menu featuring a variety of vegetarian dishes as well as fish and other seafood. Guests can generally expect a balance between these two offerings. In keeping with our commitment to live in balance with the natural world around us, we cook using only fresh, local, and sustainably sourced ingredients, which means no meat or chicken.
Working to help safeguard local fish populations, we also strive to serve only sustainably line-caught fish sourced from local fishermen.
Our menu has been carefully designed to be delicious, healthy, and nutritionally balanced while honoring local traditions such as cooking over coconut charcoal fire and baking pizza in our handmade clay oven. Whether it be fresh fish grilled Swahili-style - with plenty of lime and chili on the side - or our stuffed butternut squash served with basil squid, our chefs determine the daily set menu based on what is most fresh - both from sea and garden.
Our kitchen is more than happy to accommodate any special dietary needs or restrictions. (Please send any special requests to Guest Relations via our pre-stay customer journey form prior to your arrival.)
