“A dream come true”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This was simply the best restaurant we tried on the island. Try the fish curry or whatever you find on the menu, you won't be disappointed. It's refreshing to find a completely locally run place!

“Fantastic seafood!”

Small, unassuming little hut on the beach that serves up some of the most delicious local food!!! Must try...

“fish curry full of bones”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 12, 2012

we had big expectations due to the review from two canadians in the menu card. However, Kim was not home, so his brother cooked. Our fish curry was not as tasty as it could be, and it was full of surprising small, sharp bones which were a bit dangerous! We didnt really feel the food was worth the high prices. However the place was really cosy, and i believe Kim himself is a good cook :)

“delicious food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 26, 2012

this was a tiny local restaurant. location from a travel guide book, and it was the best food we had on the island. delicious, absolutely wonderful. okay maybe we found it more so due to having had not so delicious food for two days.

“Authentic food”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 29, 2012

Authentic Zanzibarian cooking in a quaint location. Great for a cooking lesson too! Phone up/visit earlier in the day to book your meal
