Local hints: Abdul's

Today, I am gong to concentrate in telling you about one of the places in this town that plays a key role in our free time and, for some of us, also on our nutrition. This place is the restaurant Four Tables or, more commonly, Abdul's, named after his owner (obviously, Abdul) and the sonly four tables in the interior. We come here to have dinner all together every Wednesday, and generally everyday after we come back from the forest we stop by to grab some of the famous passion fruit juices (yes, here is the place!). And, yes, we end up here way more often than that.
In this restaurant you can enjoy of the simple but extremely tasty swahili food: chapatis, rice, beans, fried fish, coconut sauce, ugali, cabbage, salad and spinach are the general option, apart from passion, mango, avocado and tamarind juices (all of them delicious). And also, talking with the regular clients, Abdul and his son. Its and open walled house, whe you also eat the traditiona swahili style, c'est à dire, with your hands. A little tricky in the beginning, butmost people get used to it
So, if you drop by Shimoni one day, don't hesitate to have lunch there. It's easy to find, in the main street. Bon profit!
