What is the "Overpriced Restaurant Bill Padding" scam in Diani Beach?

Question

Accepted Answer

Some restaurants along the Diani Beach Road that cater primarily to tourists add unauthorized charges to bills, including service fees not listed on menus, charges for drinking water not ordered, and inflated prices for daily specials quoted verbally. Bills are presented quickly and change is returned slowly or short. Ask for an itemized receipt and check each charge against what was ordered. Confirm the price of any specials before ordering. Count your change before the waiter leaves the table.
