Stone Town Cafe

“A solid, safe choice in Stone Town. I felt comfortable eating there, which honestly matters in Africa. The atmosphere is really nice, relaxed and welcoming. The only thing: a lot of bread. Like… a lot and nothing else around. But the Zanzibar spicy tea? Proper one. So good.”

“I wanted to eat octopus curry, they didn't have it. I wanted avocado salad, they didn't have it. Grilled tuna I had was ok, fresh juice was OK, but you can't run a place with half of menu missing. And just btw I wasn't there last minute, it was good 3 hours before closing time”

“Best restaurant in Stonetown. Very good choice of local food and fresh juices - and absolutely everything cooked to your liking. Service is attentative, friendly, helpful and super quick, food's delicious.”

Stayed one night due to an error at the hotel I initially booked. The staff was very nice and welcoming. After a long day of traveling and a walking tour after checking in it was nice to get a good meal (chicken breast with fries and salad) in a timely manner. Within 30 minutes of placing my order the food was being served.

Right in the heart of stone town so great place to base. Very basic rooms in need of repairs, like curtain pole missing over windows and balcony door, electrical socket hanging of in bathroom, sink tap very badly limescale up. But did have AC, and a TV. Don't arrive early hours of morning though as you will be greated by a man about 88yrs old who can hardly walk yet tries to carry your heavy suitcase up the 40+ steps to your room. Didn't meet any staff till day we were leaving.

Very nice location, friendly staff, good breakfast and food in general. Unfortunately, our room was extremely noisy. Pumps, compressors, fans: any kind of disturbing noise was present and very loud right behind our door/windows and made our sleep impossible at night. Not suggested if your searching a quite place.

My visit to Stone Town, Zanzibar, was an unforgettable experience and one of the highlights of my trip to Tanzania. The town is rich in history, culture, and character, offering a unique blend of African, Arab, Indian, and European influences that can be seen in its architecture, food, and daily life. Walking through the narrow streets of Stone Town felt like stepping back in time. Every corner revealed something interesting, from beautifully carved wooden doors and historic buildings to bustling markets filled with local spices, handicrafts, and friendly vendors. The atmosphere is vibrant yet relaxed, making it a perfect place to explore on foot. One of the most impressive aspects of Stone Town is its cultural heritage. The town has preserved its historical charm while remaining a lively and welcoming community. The local people were warm and hospitable, always ready to share stories about the island's rich history and traditions. The food scene is exceptional, with plenty of oppor
