Food the worst. It is only located at the good place. Overpriced compared to its food quality. Orders Ali olio, just noodle with oil, no flavor of garlic at all! Extremely late for serving.

Slow staff, overpriced food, nothing by special. They hired a guy to shout on the beach and invite everyone to visit their restaurant but havent hired a waiter to take the order 🤦 There was like one waiter during sunset time, busy with other customers and no-one came to us for awhile, so we just left

Service was good when we arrived and place was nice. We ordered burger meal for our kid and pizzas for us. There was few customers when we came. Waiting Food for looong Time After 45 minutes burger came and after burger was eaten still no pizzas. I asked waitress is there some problem with our food and did not get answer. Before that I ordered one more beer i Never got it. After an hour we decided pay the Bill and leave without eating. Not coming back.

Poor experience. We got attracted by funny menu with chapters like Chicken impossible or Meat your instinct, but reality was really sad. Several long minutes after we placed the order we got an information we cannot get the ordered pizzas and several long minutes after we changed the order for Spagetti Bollognese we got another information that there was no beef available.. Finally we received our meals after one and half hour after the order. Never more.

Very rude staff members(racist behavior), no water in the washrooms, On top we were told beer can only be served without glass!!! Would recommend the place for the view BUT THEY NEED TO CHANGE THE STAFF OR TRAIN THEM BETTER.

Service was good, nothing special. Food was tasty, portions good size, prices a little more expensive then in the other restaurants in this area. Big plus is the view from the restaurant.

Not great service and the waiters were uninterested. Chicken curry was decent, the pizza was bland. They say you can pay with a credit card but when it comes to paying there was no mobile data on the phone that the card machine was pared to and we had to pay cash. There are no ATMs in the area and our cash was limited so make sure you have enough if you go there. Good view and nice for sunset drinks.

Pineapple juice had gone bad, burger was too hard to bite. The currency when you pay in dollor was too low. There are too many liars and touts around the restaurant.

We visited the institution during lunch, at the same time with us in the bar, there were also 2 couples. Ordered soup, squid rings and a hookah, the waiting time for the order is more than an hour 😏, the squid rings were very heavily fried in old oil, the soup is normal, the hookah is terrible. Above average price, nothing special 😒

Review №75

Cozy place for an evening cocktail. And for a leisurely visit at any other time, because a quick meal will not work here - waiting for 40 minutes is in the order of things.The quality of the food is on par with the local beach, but the prices are higher for the service just below some of the neighbors.But again, the atmosphere around compensates for a lot.

Review №76

We ordered grilled octopus and branded coconut soup with seafood, as well as two strips: impact and passport. I especially liked the seafood soup. The octopus burned well on the outside, while in some places it remained raw (and therefore we were a little poisoned by it). Cooked for 35 minutes. All together it cost 42 thousand shillings or 19 dollars. There are no hungry people left, but the impressions are not the best, there are places with better cuisine and lower prices.

Review №78

A half hour was waiting for a free table and an order (Greek salad, catch of the day - barracuda, and grilled tuna fillet) was also half an hour, which was fast enough for Zanzibar. But then how lucky someone is, the guys who ordered pizza before us, after 40 minutes have not received it yet. The salad is large, both fish are tasty, not dry. The cat appreciated the fish and shouted insolently, demanding continuation.On the second visit, the Greek salad was served without olives and pepper, but with coarsely chopped cabbage. When asked why in Greek cabbage, they shrugged and said that the chief did so. Dorada fish was dry and hard-working. In general, I visited twice and the impressions are completely different.

Waiting for 1.5 h on a simple dish of rice and chicken breast that was not enough and so tasty. For this smoke from the kitchen she reached the room which caused tearing. The only thing is I save the situation juice with whole fruit without the addition of water and ice.

Review №80

Coco Cabana was remembered for its nice interior, perhaps the longest waiting for food and free space at lunchtime, as well as the most expensive beer in the area. The dishes are also more expensive here than those of the neighbors, but the Greek salad here was the real one in the area.In this connection, this institution was given a second chance, in which the same salad was issued without olives ...We did not hear a clear explanation for this - this is the chef the waitress told us))

Review №81

For service I put five, and I will explain why. I only ate ice cream with passion fruit, and my wife drank coffee with fruit salad, I liked everything. Prices are average on the coast. Hookahs. This is the only place where they make hookahs, how they do it, they sell it. I had to do it ourselves. No problem let go of the rack. Tobacco is not enough, coals are not coconut, symphonite. But they sort of managed, smoked. Toilets are clean, there is water. The staff is helpful. Overall recommend

Coco Cabana cannot be called a hotel; it does not even have a reception. These are buildings for several single rooms with combined shower and toilet. This room has air conditioning and a ceiling fan. There were no questions about the operation of these devices. All the furnishings and furniture are rather harsh, there is not even a wardrobe, only a kind of bookcase where you can fold linen without being able to hang it. Believe it or not, during the 5 days of our stay here we have never changed the towels and never cleaned the room. We decided to conduct an experiment, would someone guess to clean the room, give us an elementary bar of soap and change towels? The soap was put at the entrance after 4 days, the cleaning was not done, although the garbage that we put out on the street was removed. I want to note that, in my opinion, these buildings are not guarded, and since there is no safe in the room, I advise you to keep everything of value in a suitcase and lock it. In general, the people of Zanzibar are very good-natured, I heard stories when people left their phones in restaurants and were returned to them. Having relaxed on these bikes, we left our beautiful coral slippers outside to dry overnight, but in the morning they were not found. We suspect builders who are building an object three to five meters away.There is no hot water, because this is Africa, and in my opinion, hot water is available in hotels at a cost of $ 300 per day.The cost of this accommodation, in my opinion, is somewhat overpriced, we paid 655 USD for 5 days. Thats $ 131 a day, including breakfast and dinner. Breakfast was continental, in a nearby cafe (20 meters). Includes a banana, a slice of papaya, a slice of watermelon, an omelet, two toast, and instant coffee. And so every day.Dinner took place at a nearby Coco Cabana restaurant, which included complimentary soft drinks at 1 bottle per person, one hot meal per person, costing up to $ 15. You have to pay for the rest. However, starting to leave a small tip to the waiters, they noticed that the third dish (for example, shrimp) was no longer included in the bill. Such is the bonus.The location of our residence is excellent. To the beach - 30 -40 meters, at night you can hear the unobtrusive sound of the ocean. Within walking distance there are several restaurants and bars, a souvenir market, two alcohol markets, a 5-7 minute walk from the village of Nungwi, where there is a mini-market, a pharmacy, a cell phone salon, fruit and souvenir markets.Summary: For those who are accustomed to comfort, this hotel is hardly suitable. Try something more expensive. For those who have been to inexpensive hotels in Thailand, Cambodia and Sri Lanka - welcome!Id like to mention the manager of Coco Cabana named Lucian. He is a very sociable, patient, charming guy. Always came to the rescue when contacting. But again, there was an experiment in cleaning the room. Perhaps he thought that they were cleaning us.Will I return to Coco Cabana? I think yes, if I save.

We arrived here quite early in the evening and the restaurant was half full. We were given a table and menus quickly. After ordering the food we had to wait over an hour to get it. Quite unreasonable considering that it was pizzas, bruschetta and a vegetarian curry we ordered. Visits are not recommended.

Great restaurant! Very large and tasty portions, a salad with potatoes and an octopus is just a bomb (in fact, its just stewed potatoes in an oven with sliced ​​octopus), very fast service by the standards of Zanzibar naturally! The only negative in the washbasin in the toilet is the water barely flowing.

The restaurant has a beautiful view of the sea and the sunset. It is spacious and clean, but it is located in a part where electricity often goes out. Great food selection and reasonable prices (glass of wine 3 euros, beer 2 euros, burger classic 6 euros, pasta 6 euros). The service is nice and fast, they brought us lanterns in the event of a power failure. Pasta average and burger above average. Wifi works fast. One of the few restaurants where they also have a TV (where he plays sports) and a hookah.

The most shitty cocktails on the island! Food in C grade (as elsewhere here - well, black guys don’t know how to cook. Therefore, at least redsnapper, at least kingfish, at least fried carp - everything will be of the same taste, roast and consistency), but the cocktails are completely disappointing ...

Pinacolada is delicious and that’s it, they ordered assorted seafood, it’s tin ... rare muck, first of all the seafood was not fresh, the rubber and dry shrimp were tasteless, the tuna was like a sole, hard, and the octopus was also rubber, and all this had an unpleasant aftertaste and the smell was waiting for the order for about 40 minutes ... then it was bad for me and coal did not help ...
