    We had the seafood pizza and the seafood platter. Both were very good. A very pleasant, smiling waitress attended to us. Service was a little slow but, hey, we were on vacation so no complaints. The fresh fruit juice was good and the view overlooks the beach. The loos are clean. They don’t market themselves very well, it appears, because they had no crowd at all on a busy day.

    Highly recommend the shop is on the second floor of a building facing the ocean view. It has some shade from the trees so it that’s not exposed to the direct sun. The view to the ocean is very beautiful. The staffs are super friendly very nice cheerful. You can expect good quality of coffee up here and also the food quality is very nice very good and value for the money. If you need a place to stop during your day this place is a must visit. The price is also very friendly as well

    Beautiful place.. Enjoyed their pizza and my go to favourite - Vanilla Ice-cream😄!! It is very quite and you can view the ocean from the top.. The place is artistic just like most Zanzibar places which made it very lovely.. Although I didn't like how the staff weren't so welcoming.. I arrived there they just seated there.. But I recommend them for their food.. Really enjoyed their tasty pizza and white-smooth ice-cream..

    Wonderful view of the ocean, even when it's overcast. Grilled veggies done perfectly as well as the prawns. Great juice options too. Have been coming here over the years, same great quality evertime. Come after the lunch rush for a good table.

    Nice little fish and seafood place close to the ocean. Great view on a baobab tree and the local Fisher boats. Food is exciting, very fresh salads, nice seafood up to the local curries. Hilda is my favourite waitress there.

  • 3/5 Robin K. 2 years ago on Google
    Friendly service & a great view. Food was pretty average but for a quick lunchtime snack, more than sufficient.

  • 1/5 Alex D. 2 years ago on Google
    Ice tea had so much ginger is almost impossible to drink. 20 minutes after ordering they came and told me they ran out of what I have ordered. 30 minutes later still waiting for what someone else ordered. The next table got dessert before the main dish.

  • 1/5 M. H. 2 years ago on Google
    Rip Off!! We waited for 10 minutes, no service- then a young waitress noticed us.No problem. We ordered coffee and tea and were not seved a menu (were there before and so I know roughly, what the prices and items are). Ordered scrambled eggs ( normal portion of 3 medium sized eggs) and were charged 15.000 TSH !!! She rushed us out and we got a pink slip instead of a white one (so obviously forged ) . Bad experience! Wouldn't recomnend a place, where you get ignored and ripped off!!

    Service is great We had late lunch and enjoyed it mainly because the waiter was good but also the food is good. It is about usd 15 per person on average. The restaurant is located on the first floor facing the sea and has basic local furnitures typical zanzibari. We enjoyed it.

  • 4/5 Bart O. 5 years ago on Google
    The food was well prepared and served nicely. The mango juice I ordered had a smell of fish about it... The staff must not have cleaned the chopping board or knife between preparing dishes. When the sun is shining the view is excellent but you need to be ready to tolerate the noise from the street and beach below which is not always just background noise.

    Came here as we were quite starving having arrived earlier by plane. I decided to try the local tangawizi drink which has the bonus of being carbonated and with ginger so it was geat for an upset stomach. I decided to go vegetarian and got an island salad which has avocados, cucumbers and tomatoes. I then got vegetarian samosas which were tasty as well. The restaurant has wifi that worked on and off but you didn't need to spend much time on your phones if you were taking in the beautiful view.

  • 5/5 Mich M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great food, this is our best restaurants in the area. We ordered the seafood plate for 40.000 shillings. It fealth so healthy and tasty from the grill. The view is amazing and there is not much people at all. I think we were alone during 18-19 am.

  • 3/5 Ivan �. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was okay, though pretty small appetizers for 6€ each. Service kind of uninterested, they could be a bit more enthusiastic and smiling, but it’s something I got used to in Zanzibar.

  • 5/5 Ulsbold H. 3 months ago on Google New
    We had dinner at this place. Here are my thoughts: - Great food. We ordered grilled octopus and grilled king fish. Both were just super tasty, and the sides are big. - Very friendly staff and nice. However, the wifi didn't work. - They don't sell beers, but that's common in Zanzibar, given it's a Muslim. They can get you a beer if you want it :) Overall, it was great food and actually a calm restaurant and less expensive than the other fancy ones.

  • 5/5 Skaiste N. 8 months ago on Google
    Even though I think this is quite a touristy place, everything was amazing. The staff was super friendly and atmosphere was perfect (we sat close to the panorama). Most importantly the food was amazing. Definitely recommend paying this place a visit while in Stone Town:) We had fried octopus and curry octopus btw

  • 4/5 Danilo M. 4 years ago on Google
    The best Zanzibar-style-smooties (mango+passion fruit) in Stone Town. However, food is average. Nice view over beach/marina. Tips: always check the total sum of the bill.

  • 2/5 Pedro Manuel P. 4 years ago on Google
    Come only if you want beef. Nothing else was there to eat. Card machine was not working, menus are funny with all the typos but hardly legible. Worst meal in stone town. Do not go unless you like beef and pay with cash..

  • 4/5 Rowena M. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice biryani and seafood platter

  • 5/5 Ferdie L. 4 years ago on Google
    I've been eyeing this venue for days. Well went for dinner & was met by such friendly staff and they made you feel welcome immediately. I ordered the Seafood Grill & was just hoping for the best, but my fears were misplaced. This has been the best Seafood Grill ever. To the management & staff thank you for a great experience. Kind regards Ferdie Liebenberg

    The view is nice. The food is so, so. It’s not bad, but not good. The prices are touristy & overpriced.

  • 3/5 IVaN F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) The place is usual by the standards of Zanzibar) the only thing that captivates is the view of the water, since the first line. The food is decent, the portions are large. The price is a little overpriced, but since they position themselves as a restaurant, it will. In general, the taste and color as they say (Original) Место обычное по меркам Занзибара) единственное что подкупает, вид на воду, так как первая линия. Еда сносная, порции большие. По цене немного завышена, но так как они позиционируют себя как ресторан, пойдёт. Вообщем на вкус и цвет как говорится

  • 4/5 John Whitehill J. 4 years ago on Google
    Got takeaway from here and it was fantastic. Fried octopus, seafood curry and a thing of rice. It was so good I might go back again while I’m in Zanzibar. Portions were great, affordable! Definitely a solid choice when in Zanzibar! And they have a great view from their rooftop bar.

  • 4/5 Michal K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great food, we had grilled sea food (25.000) and octopus in coconut souce (16.000). It was delicious. Mango fresh was great, pineaple fresh was not so great but very good. Only one minus was a lot flies when we got meal. Service was clean and waitress very friendly.

  • 5/5 Jacques Van R. 5 years ago on Google
    Great seafood

  • 5/5 Luke C. 5 years ago on Google
    The Ocean Grill, with its non-descript facade, belies a gastronomic experience that represents the best of Zanzibar’s flavours in its variety of Indian-inspired local cuisine. The act of biting down on a fresh cardamom seed nestled inside a perfectly spiced bowl of chicken biryani yields a burst of flavour that will bring a smile to even the most seasoned critic. In addition to the wonderful culinary experience at the Ocean Grill, you will be treated to an unrivalled view of the clear, azure waters of the Indian Ocean, gently lapping at the white sand beach beneath the terrace. While Zanzibar offers various and sundry restaurants to enjoy, omitting the Ocean Grill from your itinerary would be a mistake. Come and enjoy the fine food and dulcet views while you plan your next move on the beautiful island of Zanzibar.

👍👍 This place was recommended to me as a great spot to see the sunset and it does not disappoint. Unobscured views of the ocean and sunset, but also sitting above the beach where people walk by/chill/play football. Relatively new to the area, and so the place attracts a lot of people. But even at peak...
