We came to Twisted Palms for dinner. It had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and you can sit right next to the sea. We had the seafood kebab and would definitely recommend it. This was our favourite meal in Bwejuu.

We stopped off here while biking along the beach. Good that we did! We relaxed in the hammocks while the food was being prepared with our chocolate and banana milkshakes. The food was incredible, cooked in delicious spices. I had the fried calamari with fries while my boyfriend had the king prawns. We both agreed was one of the best meals in Zanzibar we ate the whole trip.

When you are on Zanzibar, you have to try a local restaurant! Just get just a bit away from the beach and you’ll find Lustania. And it’s worth it! You’ll to let them know in advance you are coming (ideally one day before), and they’ll prepare what’s fresh from the sea. All the food (and it’s a lot!) is cooked at home by the family. It is simply delicious! And your supporting local business!

Please feel welcome to join our Weekly Traditional Swahili Dinner!

From the outside the kitchen seemed really really clean, which is not always the case in Zanzibar. The food was nice without being exceptional. Sea food platter is a very good option but be sure to book in advance. The service was really good and really well organized even for a large group, which is clearly not always the case in Tanzania or in this part of Africa. The management can also arrange a special romantic place for you if you ask, for a special occasion for example.

The restaurant is nearby the beach and you have a great view of the Indian Ocean. We really enjoyed the sea food (especially the coconut crusted fish!) and our daughter loved the Spaghetti with tomato sauce.
The staff is very friendly and helpful and we always felt comfortable when we had dinner or lunch there.
6. Evergreen Bungalows

Marginally more expensive than the 'Palms' next door, but good for a change if staying in either of these places. They do tend to close the kitchen earlyish so let them know if you plan to eat here after say 7.30pm and they'll stay open for you. Unfortunately they didn't have the malty Serengeti beer when we stayed nor did they offer anything as dramatic as the huge fresh crab that the 'Palms' offers.

Review for bungalows and restaurant: We stayed here after our safari and 4 hectic days in Stone Town and the just about isolated location at the southern end of Jambiani beach was a welcome respite. Annalisa met us and checked us in to our beach facing Leopard room, which was a rustic beauty. There are a number of loungers, terraces and swinging outdoor beds in the shade which make this the perfect place to do nothing but relax. There was attentive service from all staff and Annalisa & her husband were always on hand and making sure everything was ok. The food was delicious and, although slightly pricier than nearby restaurants, was of the highest quality. We also ate at the renowned (and expensive) The Rock restaurant and both agreed that the food and service ar Zanzest was head and shoulders above this. As it was our honeymoon, they also prepared a special moonlit dinner on the beach complete with a canopy made from banana leaves and lots of flowers surrounded by lanterns set in a heart drawn in the sand. It was magical. One thing to remember... it's very rocky and lots of seaweed in the shallows of the sea and then on the beach when tide goes out so sea shoes ate recommended (I forgot mine so my newly made husband had to piggy back me into the sea!)
8. Mr Kahawa

Nestled into the silky white sands of Paje Beach, Mr Kahawa serves Tanzanian coffee, fresh healthy juices, house-baked cakes and an exciting menu bursting with flavour - perfect fuel for a day on the lagoon. Proud stockists of JENGA, Mr Kahawa has a range of beautiful handicrafts from assorted community groups and co-operatives from around Zanzibar and Tanzania available for purchase. Free wifi, docking stations and plenty of lounge space inside and out make this an ideal place to wile away the hours, sampling the daily specials and getting some great local tips from the friendly staff.

We love this place. We eat there quite often. They have the best pizza in Jambiani and also great soups and sandwiches. The atmosphere is always welcoming, the staff friendly, and the prices are reasonable. It is located right on the main road for easy access and parking. They also have a lovely pool and guest house, for reasonable prices, if you are looking for a nice place away from the beach.
