We were here every evening of our stay in Kendwa. I can't praise the wonderful waitresses Tusekila and Leah enough who were extremely kind to our children; chef Ali who came to our table every evening to ask if everything was okay and treated us...to ice creams. We have never experienced such hospitality and cordiality anywhere in the world, and thank them for that. You made our stay in Zanzibar beautiful❤️❤️More
I never normally do a review for any restaurant, but me and my wife found this absolute gem. Not only is the food exceptional and well priced, they also have a happy hour where cocktails are $3 and large beers $2. Service is what you...would expect from a 5* establishment. We have decided to only eat and drink here it is that good!!!More
I greatly enjoyed the half day spend there for a lunch and sunbathing in the lounges provided by the restaurant. The restaurant is pleasantly designed and serves great seafood and drinks. Large clean bathroom for changing. One funny element is the prevalence of Italian clientele...who eat pizza and for whom an Italian DJ is posted outside. Surely, Italoy would have been closer ? Anyway, great place for a day in the January sun.More
well located. attentive staff. the food is very good. we ordered shrimp for starters and seafood mix curry for main course. very tasty.
We visited on Monday 25th January. Food was superb as was the location and service. Very much recommended for a lovely evening. Seafood platter was incredible.
Decided to give essence a try as we live nearby. My mother ordered a Zanzibar (Swahili) seafood curry and some kind of sludge with bits of crab stick (which can only be frozen and from overseas as we don’t manufacture crab sticks here) was floating...in it. One single piece of fish and lots of crab sticks….how can you serve a dish that is supposed to be local to the area with frozen seafood that you don’t even get here when you are a stones throw from the sea. It’s unbelievable. The rest of the curries were fine, nothing to write home about but at least edible. We will not be back!More
Decided to go there for a dinner just because of good reviews and the place did not disappoint. Ordered a few different things - prawns, Zanzibar bbq beef, lamb in cashews with rice, and every single one of them was just amazing. The staff of...super nice, prices are surprisingly reasonable for such place. Coming back for a lobster tomorrow!More
We other 8 different meals and all was perfect. Very tasty. Waiter Nikiza and all stuff was really great and friendly. We had feeling like in best friend house. See you
Came here for dinner after a nice day at the beach and had a delicious meal. The butter chicken here is some of the best I've ever had and the service was wonderful. Prices are quite reasonable also!
I just had an excellent experience of eating the best obster ever at this restaurant. The service is just excellent … I was treated like a king (thank you Rebecca). The lobster was delicicious, together with the potatoes and the sauce! Please go here to...have something to eat. It is very much worthwile.More
I visited with my boyfriend for Lunch. We gave our orders. His drinks were brought then my boyfriend said all this drinks belongs to me where is her passion juice. The waiter left and we thought he had gone to bring the juice. The waiter...came back with nothing then I asked where is my drink and the WiFi he went and when he brought back the WiFi password, I again asked about my passion juice he shouted at me and said I didn't give any order. I stood up and left without eating and lefty boyfriend eating. This was racism. And my question to them was, Don't you people serve blacks. My boyfriend is white and he was served me not.More
Great sea food platter served by very friendly staff. Very clean including the toilets, very reasonable prices would definitely recommend to others. Not the place for a quality steak though.
