    An Oasis in the middle of the desert! Escaping the horrendous nearby Coconut Tree Resort, found this great humble local place. Sahid and family are doing a great job and offering good food in a cozy environment given the operational challenges ! The Octopus and whole fish were great, so surprisingly for the location my seafood spaghetti better than in most italian places )) Thank you and great continuation!

    First of all the owner of the restaurant Said is really friendly and kind. We texted him during the day if it's possible to come in the evening and he answered immediately. We ordered "grilled baracuda" and "Pwezawanazi" and it was delicious. We enjoyed our stay, the food and the whole atmosphere.

    Very tasty food at a reasonable price in a pleasant environment. We ended up going to the place repeatedly. The host is very kind and open to keep a small talk with you. There is a choice of local cuisine as well as burger or pasta. I recommend visiting and trying the coconut beans or the beef avocado burger (check the attached picture). On our last visit we received a travel package with local snack as a gift. Very pleased.

    Very nice owner. Food is fresh and delicious. The best way to get your food fast is to contact via wjatssapp and place your order ans the owner will prepare it for you.

    Visited for first time and pleasantly surprised.I’m a bit of a foodie with a spoiled palate but I have to admit this little eating house provided us with some great flavours at a good price. Octopus prawns fish all good , lobster and chips excellent. Small downside is advertised wine but no wine . I recommend tasting this chefs skills 👍

    Great local food in a rustic setting. A must if you are in the area. We were well received by the owner with true Zanzibar hospitality. We had fish skewer, curry beef, curry veg and coconut beans! Really flavorful and well priced.

    One of the best Restaurants on the Island i would say. You'll get what u pay for, even more! Seid, the owner, is really nice and makes u feel really Welcomed. The only Thing in Zanzibar is, You'll have to spend time.. Everywhere you go. Maybe order over WhatsApp before. If u dont, then You'll have to wait 40min to over 1hour. But Everywhere in Zanzibar.

    The place is humble, only few tables and spot on the white send of Zanzibar, but the food is as delicious as the owner! Sahid is very kind and honest. Ask in advance for the fresh fish you would like to eat and he will try to satisfy you...but if that fish you choose is not available fresh he will tell you honestly. This is a strong point to make your experience real, lovely and authentic. The fish in general is well cooked and also the veggie, the rice and the potatoes are delicious. You will wait for your food but it is totally deserved!!! If you do not want to wait a lot, just make a call before and he will start preparing the dinner for you. It definitely worth a visit...or a multiple one!

    Said has a very nice restaurant in Marumbi. The food is delicious, and the service is nice! Just don't rush if you come here, it might take a bit of time. Call him in and ask to prepare in advance if you don't want to wait much. The phone on google is correct and work on whatsapp!

    (Translated by Google) Very tasty and cozy! Hospitable host and cook! I'd love to visit this place again! The local chicken soup is here - the best soup I've had on the island so far! Chicken curry is awesome! (Original) Очень вкусно и уютно! Гостеприимные хозяин и повар! Очень хочется посетить это место снова! Местный куриный суп здесь - пока лучший суп, который я ела на острове! Куриный карри - потрясающий!
