When visiting Jambiani, we were rather disappointed by the very western food in our Hotel. So we went out and looked for something more local and found in Zube’s lovely restaurant exactly what we were looking for. In the end, we ate every day there. The food was fresh, spicy and simply delicious. A special tip: Try the yummy spice... More

A small locally owned little restaurant, right on the beach and serving the most delicious Swahili food (a rarity on Zanzibar!). The owner is really friendly and will help you choose something good! Highly recommended! More

Sea Horse is run by Soube, the most friendly guy you can imagine. Always in for a little chat in his reasonable English. Soube is a real mastercook, juggling with everything Zanzibar has to offer. His fish dishes and octopus dishes are absolutely delicious. And I have to mention his fish soup too.... It is a very small ever so... More

Initially struggled to find this restaurant but we got there by asking for directions along the beach for the blue oyster hotel, we reached the seahorse just before here. The food was tasty and the staff were friendly. The seafood was particularly fresh tasting. More

My family and I enjoyed a wonderful dinner one night in Mr. Zube's restaurant, right on the beach to the north of the Blue Oyster hotel. Great food, great atmosphere (candles, flowers on the table) and a great price. I would highly recommend a stop there for dinner or lunch when you are in Jambiani. More

Mr. Zulu`s restaurant is the best in Jambiani village, his personality and food make this place unforgettable. The food was delicious, especially octopus. We had a lovely and romantic Valentine`s dinner in candle light under the stars beside the ocean with nice meal and fantastic atmosphere. Mr. Zulu knows how to make you feel the most welcome. THE BEST PLACE... More

If you only have one night in Jambiani, tell Mr. Zube what you would like to eat in advance and you will not regret it one bit! Ask for his specials! More
