Grilled chicken pizza had way too many onions and peppers. Should&#39;ve asked first. Curries and naan were solid though. Quick service, no complaints there.

The coffee ceremony was the highlight for me&mdash;such a cool way to experience Ethiopian culture. The seating area felt really traditional and cozy. Lamb was tender too. Just wish the place wasn&#39;t so dimly lit, hard to see my plate sometimes.

Solid seafood. Had the grilled fish, super fresh. Rooftop bar upstairs has a killer view, better than the main dining area. Desserts were good too. Worth it for the sunset. Prices are okay for the area. Service was a bit slow but the food made up for it.

Came for the chicken and chips, 9,000 bob and it&#39;s a solid plate. Good to see football on the telly too.

We grabbed dinner here on a random weeknight. Food was solid and the bill didn&rsquo;t hurt, which honestly surprised me. Portions are decent for what you pay. They&rsquo;ve got drinks too, so that&rsquo;s a plus. Nothing fancy, but I left full and didn&rsquo;t feel ripped off. That&rsquo;s a win in my book.

The lighting inside is really nice&mdash;soft and warm, makes the space feel cozy. Went around late morning and it was still comfortable before it got busy. Prices felt fair for what you get.

Came here three times while we were around. Seafood stayed fresh every single time. Staff actually remembered us, which was nice. Live music was a good bonus too. Nothing fancy, just solid food and quick service.

Food came out fast, which was nice for a change. Pizza was pretty good, nothing fancy but hit the spot. Prices fair for what you get, especially around here. Place was busy but didn&#39;t feel rushed. Solid stop if you&#39;re hungry and don&#39;t wanna wait forever.

The seafood platter Khamis recommended was solid, octopus was the best part. Sand in my feet while eating, good vibe.

The BBQ chicken with the banana and tomato sauce was solid. Fresh flavors, sauce had a nice kick. Smoothie on the side worked well.

The balcony seating is the reason to come here. Nice view of the street, and the decor inside is really warm. Good spot to just sit and do nothing for a while.

The grilled seafood here is solid. I tried the Zanzibari-style mix and the prawns still had that smoky char taste. Prices are okay for being right by the harbor, plus you can watch the boats while you eat. Wish the pasta portion was a bit bigger though.

Nice little spot right in Forodhani Gardens, good for a break after walking around Stone Town. Masala tea was solid and the snacks did the job. Service dragged a bit even though it wasn&#39;t busy.

Smoothie bowls and toast were pretty good, decent portions for the price. Coffee machine was down when we went, so that was a bit disappointing. Still a nice spot for breakfast though.

Decent pizza and the gelato was a nice touch. Place gets a bit loud but the beach view helps. Pretty good spot overall.

The grilled seafood platter was so fresh, especially the jumbo prawns 🍤 Service was friendly too. Good spot if you&#39;re planning a casual catch-up with friends.

The seafood tagliatelle was the best thing I had here. Pasta&#39;s fresh, sauce was decent. Pizza&#39;s good too but honestly the pasta is what I&#39;d come back for. Prices are what you&#39;d expect around here.

Happy hour here is a solid move. Cocktails are strong and don&rsquo;t break the bank. Grabbed a spot by the bar with the beach view right as the sun started dropping&mdash;pretty hard to beat that. Service was a little slow when it got busy, but the drink made up for it. 🍸

Loved the tables right on the sand, so close to the waves. Food was fresh, service just a bit slow when packed.
