Amazing local restaurant! Loved this place! The chef Chabu used to work in a 5* hotel - the food is superb. This is not fine dining so don’t expect that but it’s definitely an authentic local experience. You can buy fresh fish at the local market and they will prepare it for you or you can order anything (e.g. lobster) and they’ll catch it for you and prepare the next day. Don’t miss this place!
Simple yet great local dishes, a very nice authentic place. Appreciate the reggae music here :)
Don’t let first impressions put you off. If you are looking for an authentic local food experience this is the place to go. Senga and staff are always welcoming and ensure you will have great experience. They are always accommodating customer wishes. You will not taste better food in this area on the island. Everything is freshly prepared and taste fantastic. I highly recommend visiting this local treasure!
I visit Coco Green almost every day during my stay in Matemwe. It is a celebration every single time. The food is fantastic! People are absolutely wonderful! Always attentive always giving that little extra. Preparing any specialty I come up with. I absolutely love this place and dont even think of eating somewhere else.
Loved this place so much! Food was delicious, authentic local restaurant with a nice laid back vibe :)
Super little local restaurant, very fresh and delicous food. Well worth a visit for food and To mix with nice local people!! Bonne appétit !!!
This restaurant is very authentic and so tasty for a fair price. Although it’s not directly at the beach you have seaview because it’s built like a rooftop. We had a delicious vegetable curry with rice which was actually not on the menu, but no problem for them to organise and cook freshly. Super friendly service and just a fantastic experience!
Very nice local restaurant with great music and ambient. The staff is welcoming and the food is great! There is no vegeterian meals on the menu but they can prepare it for you if you ask for it. Dont miss this place!
Everything is the best in Coco green..Amazing service from shafii and their chefs so fantastic ....delicious food and good cool breeze from indian ocean..I dont know how to explain to you ....It could be better when u go there
Authentic food on the spot. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and our dinner. Definitely worth to go.
Local restaurant with lovely atmosphere and amazing Swahili cuisine prepared with honest love! We truly enjoyed!
We travelled all the island, but this was the best food so far. Amazing place

We found this place by chance.. at first, not sure what to expect, its proper local, in a little village just of the Matemwe beach. The food though was exceptional, so good. We had some masala chicken, and red snapper fish, and it was one of the best food in Zanzibar😀 We waited a long time for it to be cooked, but that was because the guys made it fresh from scratch! 😃 So yummy! Highly recommended!😋👏🤜🤛🏿Senga- the owner is a cool guy who helped us getting a taxi back to Kiwengwa ...💙💜💚
It couldnt be more authentic: 100m behind the beach in a small village, a cozy shed made of palm leaves and raw branches, cozy low tables and benches made of branches, rope and cushions. Good food at reasonable prices (in relation to the hotel). Every now and then a bony cow runs by and of course there are always cute children of all ages from the village
The Coco Green Swahili looks rather inconspicuous from the outside. But dont let that fool you, because the food is really, really delicious. The curry was perfectly seasoned and the portion was more than adequate.At the same time you sit really comfortably and listen to local music while the kids dance outside. Very nice atmosphere!Mr. Coco is a very friendly man who also tried to talk to us directly. It was nice to exchange ideas about the different cultures and countries!Definitely try it out !! :)
We discovered the restaurant by chance at night and it was a wonderful find!The welcome was very warm, the hosts are flexible, the products very fresh and the price very reasonable!Whether it was the side salad, the rice flavored with coconut milk or the grilled fish, everything was PERFECT!I highly recommend !
A small restaurant although its hard to call it a restaurant.No fan full of flies that were sitting on the food and the prices are probably out of space like in a 5 * hotel.Sorry, but I do not recommend it, the tuna was good, but the portion is for a child.I dont understand people who give 5
Catering locally in a small village, the fish was fresh and cooked well.A warm welcome and service, a truly beautiful experience.I recommend this tiny restaurant to anyone looking for authenticity
Unpretentious local restaurant you will eat well there for a reasonable price! The boss is very friendly and you will participate in the local economy of the village (and not that of the expatriates!)
A restaurant located in a real Zanzibar village. Interesting atmosphere, completely different than in other nearby points. Very good food. Octopus delicious! I recommend.
Very good Redtaurant, you should definitely go eat here to support the local population.
Best restaurant on the whole island! Its good, its fresh, and its really cheap. So yes there is a wait, its pole pole haha but its well worth it!
Very warm owner, good atmosphere, delicious and fresh food. Dishes cooked quickly, and according to your choice. We also bought fresh fish from the fishermen, and the owner cooked it for us. We always ate at their place during our stay, the cheapest price we found. EXCELLENT.
Portions tiny, not comparable to the photos & waiting time 1.5 - 2 hours
Very tasty. Fresh fish. Good prices. What else is needed. The seats are just not the most comfortable.
Very good local restaurant, very welcoming
