The waiter at the Sea Horse seemed to be in a bad mood when 3 friends and I ate. The 4 of us ordered and the waiter left for the kitchen. Soon he returned and said there was no fish which one of our party had ordered so she ordered chicken instead. He left for the kitchen and again came back and said sorry there was no chicken. Then she ordered spaghetti bolognese and at this stage he said that he was sorry but because she had taken so long to order that she could not have a meal and we had to persuade him to cook the spaghetti for her as he argued that she was too slow in ordering.

The food was good for 3 of us (2 calamari and 1 squid which were all lovely) but the spaghetti bolognese was not fully cooked. Then when the bill came the waiter had included the fish and chicken that we did not receive as well as our four meals. When we explained that we did not get them because they were not on the menu he was very confused.

Strange meal indeed...

What is special about this spot is the experience itself.It's a tiny restaurant established by a local ,born in the village.His english is great and his hospitality even beter.There is no electricity ,so you eat by lantern light right off the beach.You wait quite a while as your meal is made from scratch(you hear the goings on behind the straw partition) but whats the rush there is nothing else to do but relax.The food was not bad ,with local dishes-but the main thing is the atmosphere and supporting a local business.

We ate here during our vacation in Tanzania and found it to be one of the best meals we've had. Great fish samosa and crusted coconut fish. The chef is very friendly as well.

This seriously local and rustic lean-to is a true gem! We travelled back to Jambiani for our last night on the island in order to savour the spiced fish samosas and chapatis that are magically created in the small hut that makes up the back of the restaurant. Friendly service and fantastic local food.
