Robynne MullerJanuary 5, 2013The menu is limited- but what they have to offer is AMaZING! Try the tuna cappachio for starters and the cigal homemade tagliatelle for mains. Pair with the selection of South African wines- brilliant
Werther VeulemansJune 6, 2019It’s in the top 10 of most beautiful restaurants of the world. Definitely worth checking out. But don’t stay for the food. Flavor balances are out of control and one of our friends got sick afterwards
- Merve AkcasuSeptember 6, 2016Go before sunset, have some drink at the terrace and after having dinner, watch stars at the terrace again. Seafood is good, cocktails are worth trying, desserts are delicious. A must in Zanzibar!
𝙻𝚒𝚕𝚒á𝚗𝚊 ✨February 26, 2019Amazing experience, very nice service, lots of sea food on the menu. Make a reservation in advance. Nice terrace for drinks. Food is nothing special but worth to go.
- Oscar GothbergDecember 8, 2017Cool venue, but food and cocktails are really subpar. Recommend just sharing a bottle of wine on the back patio and watch the tide, sunset and stars.
Hani D.January 9, 2020Over-rated. Amazing view and a unique entry experience depending on the tide, but too crowded with Europeans. Instead of a meal, go for a drink on the terrace.
Sissi Filippidou ✩July 10, 2014Amazing experience. You get there by boat. Try to go by sunset. Try the shrimps!
Martin PultznerAugust 29, 2015Excellent seafood, stunning view and atmosphere. Be prepared for European (high) prices though.
R.A.MNovember 25, 2021Part2:I don’t know if we missed up the order but the food didn’t taste good still the view was amazing and the staff were really nice for those how speak Arabic if you are coming for the food “اهربوا“

Dominik MrosekSeptember 30, 2015Amazing spot on the rock in the ocean! Could walk there and had to take the boat back to the beach!

Agne JukneDecember 16, 2012Fish carpaccio, Jumbo prawns in curry sauce & fresh mixed juice - must try!
Erik JovcevskiJanuary 27, 2014Great location with the best view in Zanzibar. The food is OK, the staff need's lot's of training.
- R.A.MNovember 25, 2021Part 1 : That was my first meal in Zanzibar we orders food and coffee it was below average stay away from the mojito there were 2 large bugs in the drink we had …
G AJanuary 31, 2018The poorest food presentation I have ever seen. The pasta was ok ($20 just for “ok”), dessert LOL ($9). Expensive, below average-disappointment!
Tomasz WłodarczykApril 30, 2015One of the best places on earth! Everything is beyond delicious. Carpaccio, sea food pasta salad. Big portions. Expensive but who cares here! Hakuna matata!- Try the Fish Carpaccio and the homemade Gnocchi with Spinach and Crab!
