Kaya Papaya

Top choice in Malawi


Close to the harbour, with a big upstairs balcony overlooking the main street, Kaya Papaya has an appealing Afro-Asian-fusion chic that's matched by a menu of zesty salads, pizza and Thai fare such as green curry, chicken satay and stir-fries. If you're still hungry, try a banana pancake.

Kaya Papaya was taken over by new owners in 2016; there are plans to hold weekly gigs, parties and events.
