Nice place for a good cheap eat! I had the chicken wrap which was a good size for the price and came really quickly. Everyone was super friendly and happy to have a chat with you. It’s right by the ocean so you get a nice view whilst you eat as well. The mango juice was fresh and really tasty - less than 5 for the meal

We loved spending our evenings here. Yes, the beach is not the prettiest. BUT the sunset is spectacular, the young waiters and waitresses are very friendly. We loved how they were really laid back and danced in the kitchen. We also enjoyed the choice of music. The song muhudumu from the first evening is still stuck in our heads

Tasty grilled seafood platter with lobster, served with good fries, alongside a refreshing lemon mint. Nice location and a few cats you can feed leftovers along the way. Good service and value for money 23.

Really cool bar/restaurant directly at the beach with a nice view. You have big trees that provide a comfortable shadow.The waiters and owner are super friendly and the food was very tasty. Value for money is very reasonable.Highly recommend!

This was by far the place with best sunset view and reasonable price in Zanzibar. Drinks are about 4,000. Food are about 15-20,000 which is reasonable compared to the crazy prices in Zanzibar. Its location by the beach is a great advantage, suitable for sunset and also just for watching locals walking on the shore.

The spiced iced coffee was soooo good! We came back the next day to drink it again. Very friendly staff. We loved the samosas as well.

Food and drinks are super tasty. The best grilled calamari I've ever had. Mocktails and smoothies are delicious. Such a lovely place. Totally recommended.
