Very nice bar directly at the beautiful beach of Nungwi. Having (afrobeat) parties twice a week which are worth going for a few drinks and some dancing in the sand.Shishas available, cocktails are OK.

Great spot at the beach, for food, sunbathing, music and going for a swim. In the evenings esp Monday evenings the perfect spot to watch the sunset and party in nungwi. I made my own version of gin basil with konyagi here :-)

Was looking so forward to prawns on the beach. Ordered king prawns which were the size of my pinky finger which we only received four of and they were not deveigned/cleaned. Absolute disappointment! Good vibe on the beach but not up to standard as rated. 12 Dollars seems ridiculous....

No wifi even if it says so on all the sings, unfriendly staff and rather pricey. There is over πŸ’― things in the menu to choose from and the shrimp curry was very good. The other meals we had were not very good. Overcooked tasteless pasta and mediocre sushi. I wouldn’t go again.

I went in specifically after the waitress explained to me the dish: coconut coated fried tuna. They brought me the regular flour coated fish by mistake and I realized too late, thru my half eaten dish since the piece of fish was tiny (check my photo): no coco to be found. The price was not inexpensive for the town (usd8) so I told the waitress and she just said sorry and charged me in full. The restaurant is on the beach in between two other restaurants, so it was easy to compare price, quality and size of the dish: they loose on all three categories.

Seafood restaurant right in front of the beach with an attentive waitress. They have delicious, affordable and big portion of meals. They even gave a welcome shot, made of vodka and watermelon juice.

Nice place, cool vibe, beautiful view, staff ok. Good and fast service. Food is average, we took a falafel (13k) and an eggplant (14k) - small portions. The taste was not there. Beer (6k). Overall a good experience.

Amazing place. You enjoy the cafe offering on sea side and go for beach at the same time. Wait for sunset. It was amazing. You may get bothered by many hawkers since they have maintained a rather porous boundary to beach. In the evening they move most table outside for customers to enjoy sunset. Fabulous place. And not very expensive! 5 stars.

Incredible location right on the beach, great atmosphere and time to enjoy delicious food. I highly recommend the Ceviche with some extra spicy peppers. I also went to the party on Thursday night - by far the best party in Nungwi!

Review β„–21

Apart from the location, decor and music not a good idea to come here to eat. Everything we took was tasteless, but the bread. The salad was unseasoned, and the maze plate we took was terrible, the highlight being a burned, tasteless aubergine. The waitress was very unfriendly, and when we asked for some olive oil to add to the salad she refused to give us any, saying that its ok as is... πŸ€” She sat on top of our heads while we were eating, grabbing the plates as they were emptying. Not recommended.

It a fun place when they have their weekly party night. Otherwise a little dead even the location is great on the beach. Lebanese food is good and unusual in these towns on the coast. Prices are ok.

The restaurant was fine, the serve mostly seafood, so meat person will have very limited choice. Prices a little bit high. There is a place to dance in the evenings. But the service and staff one of the worst we experienced in Nungwi.

Portions are tiny. We ordered the middle eastern meze (12k) and we got a spoon full of hummus and tehini with a small eggplant on the side (and mozzarella cheese, since they ran out of labaneh). We expected more from an Israeli place serving Israeli food.

I spent lot of time here during my holidays in Zanzibar. Place is really nice and located in a wonderful piece of beach. During the night you can find party once per week. Fruit Cocktails were my favorite.

Cool spot on the beach. The main nightlife place in Nungwi. Good vibe of local music, shooters amd cocktail happy hour, two for price of one. Worth passing by here if up north of Zanzibar, even to only sit and look at the ocean. Dj nites are Thurs to Sat.

Cholos bar and restaurant serves food from all over the globe, and they are mostly good at middle eastern food (thats what we had there - greek salad and sabih). The place is located on the beach of Nungwi village and has a very good atmosphere, pleasant service ( unlike most places in the area) and great fair prices.

Cool place. Great food. After trying many places in Nugwi for a week holiday and tried many places Cholos is definitely my favourite spot there. Juices, salads and fish make it worthy
