Lamu's food is Swahili coast cooking — spiced rice pilau, grilled fish, coconut curries, and samosas. During Ramadan, most restaurants close during the day until sundown, though tourist-oriented places stay open. The New Star Restaurant serves cheap, good Swahili food. Hapa Hapa and Bush Gardens on the waterfront are reliable for KSh 200-400. Petley's Inn has consistently good food at slightly higher prices. For a splurge, the Barbecue Grill at Peponi Hotel in Shela is open to non-guests.
