THE JOURNEY

A long marriage

April 20, 2026
That's the cuisine: a long marriage.

Walk through Old Town Mombasa at six in the evening and you're walking through a cookbook.

The coast is the cuisine closest to us — geographically, historically, emotionally.

The ingredient we think about the most is coconut, but not in the form most places use it.

The technique worth knowing about is the layering of a biryani.

How it's cooked at home is different from how we cook it here.

This is the one cuisine on our menu with more than one dish at a time.
