The curries were unique and delicious! It is not quick but well worth the wait. The staff was friendly, helpful in choosing the dishes for our tastes and fun to practice Swahili with. You will not be disappointed with the experience! More

This is no doubt the best restaurant in Jambiani and probably one of the best places in Zanzibar. Try their fish samosa - absolutely amazing! The food is fresh - they make it as you wait so allow an hour or book in advance - you will not regret it! More

Kim’s restaurant is next to the Blue Oyster, but it’s easy to miss. It’s a simple, open-air in front of the village. The vegetable curry was outstanding and reasonably priced.

Our first words were WOW, there was reggae music playing and no one in sight. We went through the back door and the waiter came towards us and asked if we wanted to eat or... More

Kim's restaurant is located in Jambiani and can be easily reached along the beach (there's a big sign, you can't miss it). We went for lunch and were quite impressed with the fish---far tastier than in most of the other restaurants we tried in the area. Note that the food can take a while to prepare since it's made fresh---you... More
