Casa Kibokobay – Lakeside Restaurant in Kisumu

Casa Kibokobay is a restaurant, wine bar and cellar on the shore of Lake Victoria, on Dunga Road in Kisumu. A local family owns it, and the kitchen and floor are run mostly by women from Kisumu. Kiboko is Swahili for hippo, and hippo pods still rest in the reeds near the jetty.

The kitchen cooks fish from the lake and food over fire, so tilapia and nyama choma are the staples. The cellar holds 71 wines sold by the bottle, and Casa Kibokobay offers free wine delivery across Kisumu County or collection from Dunga Road. It also runs its own boats from its jetty, so you can combine a meal with time on the water.

Every evening the sun sets right in front of the tables, which makes the terrace a popular sundowner spot.

The restaurant is open every day from 8:30am to midnight. Call or WhatsApp +254 742 928 972, or email hello@casakibokobay.com. The menu and wine list are on the Casa Kibokobay website.
