    One day during my trip to Mombasa, Kenya, I had a chance to hang out with Chef Ali Mandhry, a local from Mombasa, host of a variety of tv shows, writer, and an all around amazing guy to hang out with and eat with!
    We first stopped off at Mama mbaazi, a lady who sells Mombasa style pigeon peas in coconut milk to be eaten with mahamri. We saved it for later when we returned to the house, but it was excellent, and amazing combination.
    We then continued on to the main market in downtown Mombasa, a bustling fruits and vegetables market, full of friendly vendors, and all the ingredients you need to cook Kenyan Swahili food - which is a mix of Arabian, Indian, and local dishes. The main dish that we bought all the ingredients for was to cook a dish called samaki wa kupaka (grilled fish with coconut sauce). The fish was grilled first, then Chef Ali cooked a coconut milk sauce with garlic, curry powder and lime juice to baste onto the grilled fish. It was sensational.
    Azad Ice Cream Shop - First, before getting back to the house to start cooking, we stopped for a classic Mombasa faluda.
    The entire meal Chef Ali and Fiza cooked was incredible. I especially enjoyed the Swahili grilled fish and the rice pilau.
    Huge thank you to Chef Ali Mandhry for this amazing day of Swahili Kenyan food in Mombasa, Kenya! Again, check out Chef Ali’s channel ( / chefalisaidmandhry ) and Instagram ( / chefalimandhry .

    Alright so i had to comment one more time, to say to all my fellow Kenyans that after seeing this video i would like to tell that we have a lot of similarities. 1. Our accent is same. 2. Mombasa looks exactly like Karachi, Pakistan 3. We also have Falooda and call it the same. 4. We also called Achar like your Achari. 5. We have same fruits and vegetables 6. We have same markets 6. We also have a similar rice dish called Pulao. Its amazing. And i have only gone to 60% of video. WOW. If you are a Kenyan and you are coming to Pakistan, be my guest. :)

      Syed Qayyum That's because many thousands of Indian immigrants settled in Kenya. They did not have to deal with the racism that Black Africans gave to face in India every day. They were allowed to earn a living, open businesses and make money. They were not harrassed and molested, not beaten and ostracized. It only Indians could be as magnanimous to Black Africans in India.

    Oh yes, Mombasa and the Swahili coast stretching from Somalia to south of Dar es Salaam has some of the best cuisines in the world. Its also an old, old place going back to the ages of the spice trade in the Indian Ocean. I love the old town of Mombasa, it has classical character and multicultural vibe. Love the Swahili Pillao - in fact I will get the spice mix recipe and make it at home.

    It's so wild that life expectancy can be threatened by something extreme, but the food reveals that their health is going to be better than ours in the States. We get so addicted to preservatives and unsafe sugars and they have food. Just the food. No worries of preservatives. This is such a good cultural lesson. I love watching Mark Wiens vids.
