This is a seafood restaurant, NOT a hotel, so don't be fooled by some of the photos of a nice-looking hotel room. This restaurant is one of 10 or so seafood places next to one another along this part of Ngapali beach. Menus and prices will be very similar not matter where you go, and they all have the same view - that of people taking photos of them "holding up" the sun as it sets. Ponder at whether these are people or sheep as you sip your coconut and enjoy some red snapper!
Perfect place, flexible price.
Authentic beach restaurant with very tasty sea food. I ordered grilled sea food they serve with rice and vegetables delicious
This place was our favourite out of all the restaurants along the beach. It's true, it pays to be early or you may be faced with a long wait but the owner and his family could not do enough for us. We stayed in the Thande Beach Hotel for a week and ate here 3 nights in a row as, we noticed, did others sitting at neighbouring tables. We chatted to the owners and learnt a lot about local life. If you ask them on the day before to try and get a particular type of seafood that you like, they will try and get it for you and keep a table free.
Best I can tell, all the beach restaurants pretty similar. That said, go elsewhere as the busier a place is, the greater the frustration. Service can be absurdly slow. Forgot a round of drinks, added them to bill plus an extra fish plate nonetheless.
Ordered the red snapper and it came out still raw, sent it back to be cooked more and not even an apology.
My wife's food tasted foul and smelt off, she had the Tiger prawns. She tried two and left them. We told the waiter what we thought and again no apology or even taking it off the bill.
Most disappointing place we have eaten in Ngpali.
Feet in the sand, excellent food on our plates, best imaginable view.
It's got a great position on the beach with a load of other similar looking shack restaurants but I couldn't say I was blown away by the food. I think the experience would be similar if not better at the other restaurants next to it.
Waited for 20 mins to have our food to be served and it was cold when we have it. Tastewise it was okay. Grilled small prawn outshined than other dishes. Would give four stars if the staffs can be more friendly to the local other than foreigners.
