Had a lovely meal here a few days ago.We ordered crab cocktail for starters - delicious. Main course we had grilled tuna, grilled lobster, lobster Thermidor and prawns (with cream). All the dishes were absolutely scrumptious and reasonably priced.

Good location but we waited about 1-1 1/2 hour for our food. We had prawns, mine were okay but the ones of my friend were cold.It is okay but nothing spectacular

I had one of the best meals of my life here - and the chef even wrote the recipe for me! A lovely spot on the beach with great food and good prices.

Good food and good staff ! A special thank you for Zaï (sorry if I misspell your name) for your littles intentions, the table on the beach next to the see with the candles and flowers was really great !

Good restaurant for lunch/snack. Pizzas are good, burgers portions are big, and prices are not so high. Good option if you want to eat on the beach

Decent spot to rent a day bed and chill out on the beach. It’s in a nice section of Nungwi beach and has some of the most comfortable sunbeds outside of the resorts. They serve food and drinks which were decent and well priced.

Lobster soup is mind blowing. We ate here a couple of evenings and it was amazing. Make sure to have some rice with the coconut sauce. 100% recommend

Great price-qiality ratio. Fish is a bit overgrilled, but this is usual in the area. Food is served very fast (in the local scale). Waiters speak English good enough and do not disappear.

I just passed this reataurant, and i found big fish in front of it, so i tried take a photo. One staff saw me and he came to me. He was angry and he told me i need pay 2 USD because of i took a photo of fish!But i didt yet so i explained that. But he didnt listen to what i said.Its so funny, im a asian girl and i was there alone.OK. I wanna ask one thing to him. If i was a white guy, then did you do that? So sadly they make a racism themselves. I feeling that now in Africa including Zanzibar.

You can go for it with your eyes closed. Staff is very friendly, cocktail are good. The fish is simply succulent, go for barracuda,its yummy.And enjoy a pleasure taking lobster there, well cooked and good price. We shared a magnum one.

The crab masala is delicious! I have been to Zanzibar 4 years in a row and always come to Blue Ocean. Consistently good food and good service. A bit slow on some days, but food is cooked to order so have a pina colada (or two) while you wait.

Review №21

The food is much better here than in restaurant next to it and the staff are nice and welcoming. The prices I felt were OK as well. I was bit disappointed with my bayleys though as they poured maybe a half sip of it in the glass. I dont like when restaurant is trying to be cheap on your cost

The location is OK as all the restaurants near by the view and beach 🏖 is stunning.I did not have dinner just a drink and all together was average. I think this is a OK choice like the places around.

Review №25

Restaurant was slow, but delicious. More importantly, the independent henna artists on the beach use black henna which is highly dangerous and it is illegal in most countries. Black henna often causes serious chemical burns 1-3 weeks after application, as it did to my wife. Dont get the tattoos! (even though the artists are well-meaning)

Food is good and price is reasonable, but the abundance of flies at that part of the beach made the dining experience pretty annoying.

The best experience on Nungwi and the whole island of Zanzibar. No access to hakuna matata as it is in Baraka, for example. Especially Royda waitress was great. We ate there many times.

Review №51

Prices are affordable, the food, especially the pizza is very good. The reason i write this review is the incredible friendly, young waiter - sadly I forgot his name. We came there a few times just because of him and his interactions with us (he told us he actually wanted to go to the army but couldnt). And please, give the tips to the waiters secretly, they are not allowed to keep it!

Nice place at the beach, but slow service even though the restaurant was almost empty and very average pizza.

Grilled tuna is one of the best on the island!Lobster soup is delicious! The seafood salad is worth it! Prices are average.A good place for lunch and dinner, who only has breakfast included in the hotel!

Review №54

We ordered fish, salad and fresh mix - the fish was delicious, but there was hair in the 1st piece - a long one, 20 centimeters))), and it was fried along with the fish, since the fish was straight in pieces on it)) everything cost 50 thousand shillings, but because of the trapped hair they made a discount of 5 thousand shillings))

Review №55

Great restaurant, oceanfront dinner. Fast service, ordered for two octopus in coconut sauce, snapper, pizza with seafood and Thai calamari. The portions were very large, the side dish was not even finished, the pizza was packed for us. I recommend one of the best facilities in Nungwi in terms of the range of services provided!

Review №58

A local restaurant on the beach with your feet in the sand. We ate there twice because everything is really well cooked and half the price of the beach restaurants in Nungwi. The shrimp are excellent, the soups too. Even the beef was successful!

Review №64

The institution is pretty good. Nice prices, tables on the beach, fresh seafood. Very good waiters, the girls are very, very attentive and try their best. Here they are right smarties! But they went once, they no longer wanted to. Due to the Coco Boars located right there, it is very noisy. And a very large cross. The food is not bad, but not ah. Crab cocktail is very filled with not the most suitable sauce.

Review №65

I think the best institution in the nungwi.The price is lower than in neighboring restaurants.But the main thing is that it is very tasty, really tastier than that of expensive competitors.Tried pieces of 6 different dishes, all believe good.

Review №66

Very tasty! The portions are huge. And dinner by candlelight on the ocean ... you can come with your own alcohol. They will open it and give glasses.

Review №67

Nice place on the beach, tables, lamp, nice helpful staff.They cook for a long time, but this is everywhere.The wife ate a grilled octopus, he was a little underexposed, but in a delicious sauce.I settled on a tuna salad. He was very simple, but delicious. Vegetables, large pieces of slightly warm tuna, poured with lime juice.I liked everything, but still a minus for the underexposed octopus.

Review №68

Super great food, nice service. Very inexpensive if you value the quality

Ва
Review №69

The best combination of price and quality. The portions are 2 times larger than in neighboring establishments, for the same or less price. We were in all the neighboring restaurants on this beach, in the end we returned here and we go constantly. Service is relatively short lived by local standards. Among the disadvantages: there is no menu in Russian, perhaps because of this there are significantly fewer people than the neighbors, and this is already a plus.

They came based on reviews and were disappointed. Pros - delicious drinks: smoothies, lemonade. But they came for seafood. They brought three types of fish, in fact, all of the same taste. It seems that the tuna is given out for everything else.

We were here for dinner at a table on the beach with a lantern, which is a wonderful and romantic atmosphere. The selection of food was really big but we waited for the pasta for over an hour and a half. So when paying, the boss himself gave us a 10% discount for waiting. The taste of the food is average. Friendly and prompt service. Wifi didnt work.

Review №78

Nice place with decent menu choices. The staff are very friendly and helpful. The dish is cooked for about 1 hour. Everything is very tasty and the presentation is interesting. A portion per person is about 20 shillings. I liked the Crab cocktail. All dishes are served with either fries or rice to choose from. Lots of fish and seafood to choose from, grilled. Nearby there is a barbecue where freshly caught fish and seafood are prepared.

Review №79

We went a couple of times. The first to try and dine at the seashore. The second because we found the service very attentive and really pleasant and to corroborate the idea that I present below. The fish dishes (octopus, squid ...) let me down both times. They could eat perfectly, but the fish was dry and less appetizing than it should. Be that as it may, a dinner in the light of the candlestick and on the seashore is something to do in Zanzibar.
