Abdi Fakhi Sheha
Head Chef
Abdi Fakhi has been head chef on Fanjove Island for 9 years, where he remains an unflappable leader of the kitchen team. Hailing from neighbouring Songosongo Island, Abdi produces colourful, fusion cuisine with dishes inspired by the multi-cultural backdrop of the Swahili Coast. A master of seafood, Abdi says his favourite dish is Trevally Masala, which is layered with aromatic local spices. When Abdi is at home, he says he likes to take the opportunity to set aside the pots and pans and let his wife cook! The Fanjove kitchen team work hard to improve their spoken English, and have even hung a sign in the kitchen saying “No English, no service!” as a testimony of their determination.
