Floating Island Restaurant is highly praised for its unique location on a floating platform near Nyali Bridge, offering some of the best sunset views in Mombasa. Reviewers frequently mention the serene atmosphere and the refreshing sea breeze as major draws. The food is described as flavorful and very affordable, with the biryani receiving specific recommendations. However, many guests note that the service can be quite slow and the menu occasionally has unavailable items. The restaurant is a dry establishment, meaning no alcoholic beverages are served, which some visitors found disappointing while others felt the views compensated for it. Additionally, the entrance can be confusing and involves navigating many stairs, so visitors should plan accordingly.
