Hands down the BEST meal I had in Zanzibar. What an unmitigated delight. The place was a little hard to find. Fair warning, the road gets rough in the last 100m. But, boy was it worth it. Pretty little garden and the most wholesome tasty meal we had in Zanzibar. If it wasn’t for location, I would have eaten here everyday. Definitely reccommend!!! Can’t promote this place enough.
An absolutely exceptional gastronomic experience where you would not really expect it. Its hard to come across a restaurant if you just wander around, but its worth being guided. A charming environment and a family that runs a restaurant. And the food! Always fresh and perfectly prepared. They only offer what they have fresh. I recommend visiting even if you do not live directly in Kizimkazi.
Don’t miss it! 👏🏻If you are in Kizimkazi, definitely stop by. The best meals we had in Zanzibar, in a cosy garden, warmly welcomed by a lovely family.We came by walking from our hotel (promised land) for both lunch and diner, it is 1747492% worth a 8min walk!A great and authentic experience, hope to be back soon! Ahsante sana!
Best meal in Zanzibar! We came to the restaurant for lunch and were treated to incredible flavours, beautifully fresh fish, delightful hosts and a calm environment surrounded by plants and feeding bee eaters. Definitely worth the journey.
We have been around the whole island for 3 weeks and this is the best food we had in Zanzibar. The garden is very beautiful and the staff is very friendly and accommodating. We will definitely eat here again before we leave.
Best gastronomical experience in Zanzibar. Always very fresh and tasty local food, so you need to wait for it a bit. Nice atmosphere, super friendly owners. 100% worth to visit :)
Best food I had in Zanzibar.Location is not that easy to reach, but definetly worth :)Everything is very clean.Owners are very sweet.Love it!
One of the best places to eat in Zanzibar, if not the best place, ate there twice, and it was perfect, fresh, flavorful and delicious local food. And the people that own the place are locals and they are lovely. I totally recommend the place.
Amazing family owned restaurant in a really quiet area away from the beachside resorts.The hosts are really welcoming and like to make their guests feel at home. I had a great tuna with green bananas cooked in coconut milk. Same prices as the other restaurants in kizimkazi but much better food and atmosphere.
Hidden gem in the middle of nowhere. The real taste of the Zanzibar food. Dont let the tiny winding road to distract you from the final destination. You have to wait a little bit more for the dinner to be prepared if you come suddenly. Better call in advance.
A lovely restaurant run by a super friendly local couple!We had amazing dinners at this place. The food was delicious. I had the green banana twice, cause it was so good.After a couple of more stopps on the island, I can say it was the best local food we had on Zanzibar!
A beautiful restaurant in a hidden place away from the village life and from people trying to aggressively sell you everything.Very friendly and helpful staff and excellent local food. Can’t recommend it enough. It is true food takes sometime but it is 100% freshly made and very very tasty. Well worth the wait and you can knock back a few Kilomanjaros in the meantime!!!
We discovered this lovely restaurant by accident and decided to have dinner there later that day. The tables are in a garden like area which is absolutely beautiful by night when the lights are switched on. The couple who runs this place is so lovely and the food is amazing. You should definitely try the green cooked bananas and the byrani!During our stay we went there multiple times and enjoyed every single visit.Like at every other place on Sansibar you should consider ordering your food in advance because it’s freshly cooked and it could take a while otherwise.
The place is good to spend your day with,dishes are good and hygienic. A lot of delicious food available, very good customer care. I really appreciate it 😘😘😘 i will visit the place again and again!
Locally-owned, family-run little gem of a place with very welcoming and laid back vibes. The food is among the best we have eaten on the island. Some plates take long to cook and they are open about this. You can call in advance to order.
Tasty food, very friendly staff and lovely location! The food took a little while to come but other than that it is a lovely place and can be recommended! Asante! :)
An AMAZING restaurant that you have to check out! This is is one of the best local restaurants we have been to in Zanzibar! Definitely not to be missed - such lovely hosts.Id recommend calling/using whatsapp to book and order food a day before. Their communication is fantastic.The restaurant also organised a taxi to pick us up and drop us back.As you can tell I cannot recommend this place highly enough.
Very very cute place! The food is amazing and the place is super quiet!You need to order in advance if you don’t want to wait too long!Local recipes and fresh seafood cooked to perfection!The hosts are lovely and the vibe is really peaceful ! ✨Special mention to the piña colada ;)
Perfect restaurant - small place, dreamy atmosphere, friendly local owners, fresh and very authentic zanzibari food, fair prices. We had king fish with green banana and a vegetarian curry. Both dishes were delicious. The way to this place is a bit longer, but its worth it, this is for sure the best restaurant in Kizimkazi
If you are in Kizimkazi, you have to eat at Stone Village. The hosts are very kind and the food tastes amazing! It is such a shame that we discovered it at the end of our stay.
We went to the restaurant at nigh, so we struggled to find it and we were almost giving up, but gladly we did not, the food was really good as well as the service. We had the green banana and the chicken birinau, both very delicious!
We spent a very enjoyable moment at Stone village. We had delicious food and great service. The best spaghetti with shrimps in the island! Calm music and nice garden. And all this for a fair price!
A hiden gem close to the Promised Land hotel and the best alternative to the boring food at the hotel. The tiny restaurant is at a beautiful garden, you will listen to jazz music in the background and the food is very very nice and made with a lot of love and care. The owners are lovely people and the service is good. I only recommend you to contact them by WhatsApp to tell them what do you wish to eat, otherwise you have to be very patient as they prepare everything from scratch. I will go back for sure!
A delicious lunch in a wonderful place! The restaurant is located in a beautiful garden, the owners are really nice and the food is fresh and very tasty 😍
Lets start with the fact that majority of the recommended restaurants are all at resorts, nothing wrong with that but more towards seafood platters fish/calamari or prawn with chips/rice etc, nothing really popped up with real traditional food. And then we saw the signs directing us to Stone Village Restaurant. There are 2 signs for stone village restaurant on the main road, which still makes it a little hard to find. Also the Google pin is incorrect best would be to reach out beforew hand and get the directions as its quite easy to reach once you know.Then entering the restaurant area, its like a little gem in paradise. Set in the garden with paper lanterns, soft jazz and 2 tables - private dining experience.The menu was hard to read as we dont know the food terms(also International food available) but decided to go with the chef recommdadtion the green banana and coconut seafood which was absolutely delicious.The service is prompt, and even the chef (lady off the house) came out to say hi.Food like this can only be made with love. Thank you for great food form your home.
The best restaurant on island. The food is awsome, staff is super nice. Everything is really good.Its a little different than the others restaurants, its located in very nice garden, a little bit inland.
This is the best place we ate in Zanzibar and we tried more than 50 places. Everything is awesome: the place, tha family, the food,… it’s just something to not miss
Great People, special food, magic place! Thank You for Antonio birthday party! We will be remember this evening forever!
Maybe pre-order or warn them you are coming. Food is amaziiiiiiing. So fresh, from the garden. As vegetarians we finally got fresh beans. Amazing
Impressive cooks and beautifully presented venue.
Nice garden to sit and wait for your food to be prepared. Friendly owners and the food was very taste and big portions!
Great authentic Swahili cuisine with friendly hosts in a quiet garden! Just perfect!
Very delicious food, good service.
Charming little restaurant and garden w/ excellent Swahili food and great service. Truly a gem!
Family atmosphere, really kind owners, and big, tasty portions of local food!
Fabulous authentic food and friendly welcoming owners. Highly recommend.
The food was really great.
If you want really traditionnal swahili food .. it’s the place to be! Very tasty and the quantity was very generous and the service was very kind and warm! Highly recommanded place!One little bemol is that the access is a bit difficult by car!
Best food in Zanzibar! Its a must 😋 its totally worth the trip Beautiful and very clean surroundings!
We have eaten here 2 times and it was delicious. The small oasis in the hinterland is run by a local family who were very friendly. We ate fish and local chicken, which was only slaughtered on the day of preparation. There was beer and wine with the meal.We can only recommend this restaurant.
Everything is very nice, chamber. Great atmosphere and great food. Friendly and helpful hosts. It is better to contact them in advance by WhatsApp, they will help you to get there and discuss the menu. We lived nearby and stumbled upon this restaurant by chance. The prices are very humane! I highly recommend sea food platter - perfectly cooked seafood, taken for 2x, I think 3-4 will fill up without problems, they give rice with sauce to the load. As stated earlier, ask for a freshly cooked chili sauce that picks up at 5. They are completing another wing for the restaurant, you can tax in big companies :)Very nice and hospitality owner! Fantastic food! Normal prices. You can discuss menu. It is a bit complicated way to get here, but you can contact owner though WhatsApp, he will help you. From myself, recommend to taste Seafood platter (for 2-3 person) and fresh chilly.Good luck in your business!
This is the best restaurant in this part of the island. Small, intimate, not focused on a masquerade. Everything fresh, made for a specific order. The friendly and, above all, honest owners. Here you can try real local cuisine. In addition to standard fruit, they sometimes have, for example, fantastic grilled goat meat. I recommend that you ask for freshly squeezed chillies. It grows here on the island and makes all dishes taste amazing. Its a bit difficult to get there because google map shows the location wrong. One has to follow this sign on the main path. Yes, I know, its terrible but it leads to the goal :-)
A great restaurant, unfortunately or fortunately, a bit out of the way. The food was excellently seasoned, the family who served us were very courteous and got us a taxi to take us home to the Aya beach resort without being asked.
Great food, beautiful surroundings. Prices the same as everywhere. But without a pre-order, it takes a long time.
Wow. An oasis! This couple has beautifully landscaped the backyard of their house for a large reception. Without doubt the most beautiful layout in the sector. Delicious meal, consisting of seafood. And it is served by very friendly owners. We will try to go back!
Best restaurant in Zanzibar I have done! Delicious and hearty Swahili meal. Super friendly staff, I loved it !!! To do absolutely if visiting Kizimkazi.
Excellent restaurant!Great setting, delicious Swahili food and lovely owners! In short everything is perfect, go there with your eyes closed! (Finally .. watch out for the track;))
Super cute little restaurant in the middle of nowhere. Nice light and nice music. It is best to announce in advance via Whatsapp that you are coming. Otherwise it may take a while before the meal is ready. Two people, two beers and food each for around 65,000 Tsh
Very warm welcome. Excellent food. A little peace and quiet in a peaceful and peaceful environment, away from the restaurants of neighboring hotel complexes.Thank you for this evening, this good meal and this pleasant background music
Very good service and great food, a 10 in all, I recommend the seafood grill is huge eat 2 to 3 people.The hosts are wonderful.It is advisable to follow the directions for the restaurant on the way.
Very friendly local restaurant, warm welcome and excellent cuisine. We had a great time and had a blast!
Super rich and very well priced. The octopus in spectacular sauce very fresh and tender, a delight
Excellent, incredibly good meal !! With a great garden and very welcoming staff. ❤❤❤
Very good. Local and refined cuisine in a pleasant setting away from the crowds. Family atmosphere.
The best Swahili food weve ever eaten.
