"Great food
Reasonable priced
A favorite amongst locals and informed travellers
No tourist trap - but you might want to check your bill twice
Located in the center of town
Menu has only Swahilli food,
Quality of food is perfect
Try the tamarind juice & octopus curry"
"Lukmaan is real. Lukmaan is cheap. Lukmaan has never disappointed me.
I have visited the place 15 times or maybe 20. I come back everytime I visit Zanzibar and Stone Town.
Low key, genuine, quick service, great foods that beats most of the posh places on the island. Try their octopus tamarind soup...". Check out squid in coconut gravy. Don't miss their vegetable somosas. Mmmm... even a thought of my past expereince is mouth watering.
No, there is no beer or any other booze. But where else will you get fresh tamarind or avocado juice? That will do, especially since the full selection of courses is available only until mid-day. So don't sleep in and don't be turned off by crowds of local folks. They will move over and give you enough space to sit.
And yes, it will be shut during the Ramathan so you better plan your holidays taking this into account ;-)
Now, the best part: a 3 course meal for 2 = USD 8-10. No kidding..

"Wow, this place is a real find....the food is plentiful and very good, variety is great, featuring octopus, squid, fish, chicken, and much much more. A variety of rice options makes a complete meal for less than $5, The outdoor seating is quickly taken, so go early for lunch and spare a few morsels ..."for the cats that live in the area...they need to eat as well. This is a great place to meet people and to find out about other local attractions and its because the place exudes good value. do not miss this place for lunch....many times
