Welcome
Located in a cave thought to be between 120,000 and 180,000 years old, Ali Barbour’s takes dining al fresco to a whole other dimension. In the evenings, the restaurant glows in the muted light of candles, and diners’ eyes are naturally drawn to the twinkling stars above.
This unique cave turned restaurant features a series of interlinking chambers, original cave holes that bring in the natural skylight, and threaded palm leaves that soar over the cocktail bar and reception area. Specializing in international cuisines, specifically seafood, this historic property is perfect for an intimate and elegant gathering of any sort!

Saw that Ali Barbour's was close to where were staying so we thought we would try it. I'm glad we did. My wife had the steak and I had the chicken and the food was superb. The ambience was very romantic, perfect for a couple celebrating a special occasion. The staff were all top notch and friendly. I've never been one for fine dining, but if you are looking for a top of the line restaurant then come here. Just make sure to call ahead and make a reservation, judging from all the customers we saw tonight Ali Barbour's is very popular. Oh and make sure to try the Line cheesecake it was excellent.Posted on Suzanne LawtyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Food was delicious, we ordered the oysters, the camembert and the seafood platter. I would definitely recommend this place.Posted on Hadeel Al-FarTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Every time I visit Diani, I make sure to come to this place. The location is truly beautiful ; the ancient coral reef and soft music create a peaceful and special atmosphere. The food, however, did not fully meet expectations. We had the lobster, which was covered in too much cheese, making it hard to taste the lobster itself. The crab was good, while the shrimp was not very impressive. All three dishes came with the same sides — rice, spinach, and fried onions — which felt a bit repetitive and lacked creativity. The staff were kind and friendly, adding a nice touch to the experience.
