“I had a salad nicoise and the chickpea hummus; the hummus was delicious. There are very nice views from the rooftop and the waitress was very kind. Note, they charge a 5% service fee and it goes to the restaurant not to the waitress.”

“I had such a lovely experience here. The food was amazing & the customer service was great, everything was fast. Thanks to Kalista who made us feel at home. Zanzibar is beautiful btw.”

“Exquisite service, so kind, positive and proactive. Food good, vegetarian options available. Price a bit high but matching the vibe of the place that is very cozy and sophisticated. It’s the restaurant of a hotel”

Lovely restaurant on the top floor of the Marriott Bonvoy Hotel, lovely views on the rooftop whee you see the buildings and the seaview. We ordered the biryani and penne pasta, and the food was very delicious, especially the biryani, it was authentic and very delicious. Clean restaurant and facilities. Servers Vitus John and Ismail were very friendly and did an amazing job along with the chef. I was impressed by the good service, views, cleanliness, and the amazing delicious food.

We had the famous coconut crab soup, it's delicious! The restaurant has a beautiful view and the waiters are very professional. The restaurant is located on the rooftop of a nice hotel, you can get there by a lift.

Beautiful atmosphere and good (albeit a bit slow) service. The starters—seafood salad and coconut and crab soup were excellent—but were let down by the blasé grilled fish and prawn biryani. The mains were boring and not very tasty.

Five star food - five star location - two star staff and service. Be prepared TO PAY IN CASH WITH BILLS NEWER THEN 2009?!? Very bizarre. We came here on Christmas Eve for a treat and the food was delicious - check out the pictures. Between the five of us we had a run through the menu, from crab soup to wings, spicy shrimp, crab cake, lobster roll. Topped off with ice cream shakes and dessert. Okay the beers were fine and reasonably priced. However, the gin and tonic I ordered was charged as a double, and it most certainly was NOT two shots of gin - nor was it BOMBAY sapphire as advertised/charged. Whatever, this is what happens in a country that doesn’t drink… but to charge me for two tonic waters is just silly… The service was okay, but we had to ask for everything at least twice. The bill took forever and when we finally got it, about twenty minutes to sort out payment, because the credit card machine won’t work. I know this is Africa but this is also the Hilton?! Then I paid in c

The rooftop view and the service were great here. The quality of the food is good, however the portion sizes are very very small considering what you pay. We ordered the coconut crab soup to start which was delicious, but was so small that after 4 spoonfuls it was finished! The mango salad was great. For mains we got the seafood jumbo, again nice flavour with the tamarind but a tiny amount of actual seafood. My partner got the curry which was flavourful. Our waitress was really attentive and helpful, it’s just a shame the portions were so tiny!
