Tilapia Beach Kisumu Review – A Must-Visit Dining Destination


 If you’re looking for a restaurant that combines delicious food, excellent service, and a warm atmosphere, Tilapia Beach Kisumu is the place to be. Located in Kisumu, Kenya, this charming eatery has earned rave reviews for its signature dishes, ambiance, and service. In this review, we’ll dive into everything you need to know about this gem, what to expect, the must-try dishes, and why it should be on your radar for your next night out. If there is a place that is known to have the freshest and most delicious fish in Kenya, it's Kisumu! Today's restaurant review is about Tilapia Beach Restaurant. A tranquil little spot that sits near the lake as cool breezes hit your face. Tilapia Beach is not the only restaurant here, dozens of little restaurants surrounding it serve fish, the main item on the menu. Travelling is always fun, and today we decided to take a little tour of Kisumu City to see its main attractions. We had planned to go on a boat ride, but running some errands left us with little time to enjoy that boat ride. So we opted to go for lunch instead. In this location, there were many restaurants which made it a bit hectic getting to this specific spot. It was like market day as there were loud women at the entrances of all these little eating spots calling customers in. "Ingia upate samaki fresh daddy" (come in for fresh fish daddy),
"Kwa odhis, samaki tamu" (delicious fish at odhis'" they kept calling. Luckily for us we had a local who knew the best place we could have our meal.
