Dining in Zan View was a great experience! I had lunch and dinner there several times with a friend while on vacation. We really enjoyed the ambiance and the food. The seafood was very tasty and we had a very happy hour with cocktails! The guys in the restaurant were very friendly, funny and attentive. We are looking forward to coming back on our next visit to Zanzibar.

We came for lunch & diner almost every night of our stay. The food was always fresh and tasty, the staff very kind and the prices very fair. Everyday they changed the menu so it was never the same. Also for "europeans" they offer perfectly baked pizza, pasta or burger.

Also they had a very nice breakfast in the morning, including fresh juice, a fresh fruit plate with local fruits, fresh bread, homemade marmelade, good coffee and all different kinds of eggs (french toast, omelettes, poached eggs, pancaked and more), porridge etc.

i assume there will be nobody leaving the restaurant unsatisfied. :)

My husband & I had a quiet dinner on our last evening at Zan View.It was fine, nothing extraordinary to tell about.The food tasted okay, the prices though were quite pricey.Just on our way back to the room we saw the bright, lovely full moon glaring that night, that was beautiful!

Dear Glynda,
Firstly, I would like to thank you for taking the time to write your review.
We work really hard to offer the best food in the best possible environment. I am disappointed to hear that you were not satisfied with the Lobster Tagliatelle: it is a pasta dish with pieces of fresh lobster with garlic, oil, zucchini and tomato.
Our number one priority is the fulfillment of our guests and we will continue to be the number one restaurant in Kiwengwa by constantly mastering our recipes according to our customers' feedback.
I wish you a lovely day.
Greetings from the Zan View Team
