The fresh smoothies are amazing and simply go there and try the smoothies and you won't be disappointed. The service was a little slow but not as slow as other places in town. They are geared to using really fresh produces and it comes through in the dishes. Great.

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Unpretentious. As others have said, fresh smoothies are fab. Wasn't busy so no problems with the service.

This place was closed for renovation during most of our stay, but we managed to squeeze in 2 trips here. The food is fresh and delicious. The juices and smoothies are amazing. There is a great variety of food and drinks. We loved it. Yes, the service is a little slow, but definitely worth the wait! There are very few... More

Yes they upped the prices in April 2013, but the food is still fantastically delicious. They make a conscience effort to use fresh local produce that has just been bought in the market across town. The smoothies are by far the best reason to go, I suggest the awake shake, lots of passion fruit. Definitely worth a vist. Oh and... More

Lazuli is a regular haunt for colleagues and friends in StoneTown and it's a sweet place. Decor is bright and minimalist funky. Like Soweto chic. The menu is excellent, fragrant foods and the drinks are especially good. Prices reasonable too. But, but, BUT...the service is ridiculously slow. Even when only a couple of diners, or actually even when my friend... More

This place was quite a relief after several disappointments in the tourist restaurants of Stone Town and we soon became regulars. All the superlatives about the food and drinks are true. It is also a really cute, dinky little place with a nice vibe. The staff do seem to be a bit overwhelmed, though, and I don't think I would... More

Seafood especially good. Alcohol not served but they do great drinks. Best to go as small rather than large party

I stumbled on Lazuli before I had read its numerous good reviews on here! Lucky me! Hands down best smoothies and fruit juices on the island - delicious simple food - healthy fresh and yum. I have only ever eaten there and I've been on stone town 3 evenings over a 10 day period! It's not very adventurous but once... More

After having visited Lazuli several times already (I am living in Zanzibar), I had the worst customer service experience of my life here. My friend and I sat at a table and when a staff member came to clean the table we requested some water since we were desperately thirsty. After waiting 15 mins without any service I gestured to...
