What a fresh quality in fish and seafood. One of the best experiences in Nungwi. What an obliging staff. They do everything to make you happy. After we discovered it, we came everyday. We tried everything except the soup.It was a few minutes walk for us. You can go along the beach or through the village. Both very safe! Good prices.

Incredible seafood! We had the five spice calamari, seafood curry, and grilled tuna. All 3 dishes were exceptional (the curry sauce is one of the best things Ive eaten anywhere and I cant get over how tender the octopus was) and we would have ordered more if we werent out of cash. Friendly people and a beautiful setting, this is a do-not-miss restaurant in Nungwi!

Nungwi Fish market restaurant is giving the most yummy and quality food around. Awesome quantities, too.As I observed... Once ppl found it, everybody becomes a returning customer. Even saw them running out of chairs or tables..!Suuuper friendly staff, very good and reasonable prices, seems to be THE PICK in Nungwi area!

If you want to eat seafood made in an authentic Zanzibar way, the Fish Market Restaurant is a must! Friendly & personal service. Note that they dont serve alcohol. The juices, from fruit harvested on the island, are made when you order. Here you can watch the sunset with your feet on the sand! For sure the best value for your money! Dont miss out on the experience!

We had lunch in this restaurant yesterday. Food was very fresh and good, we had a sea food platter and enjoyed it a lot. Prices are not high and the view is great, the ocean is almost at your feet. The staff is extremely friendly and nice. We recommend this place

This is a nice little beachfront restaurant at a quieter part of Nungwi. We came for lunch and had the 5 spice calamari, grilled kingfish and seafood curry. The calamari was crispy and there was a good amount of mayonnaise with a hint of chilli. The kingfish tasted fresh and was well seasoned with salt and lemon. We also enjoyed the seafood curry, the octopus in particular was really tender. Service was friendly and watching the kitesurfers was a bonus. Would recommend.

If you are looking for an original experience and immerse yourself in local cuisine, you are in the right place! very fresh products given the proximity to the fish market, cheap prices, attentive service and very kind staff. This place reminded me of everything I love about this island and what other restaurants have gradually forgotten! location directly on the beach, facing the sea and under a beautiful moon. Elena.

A bit outside the main touristic area of Nungwi, you’ll find here fresh fish and seafood, very delicious. The staff is very nice, polite and always smiling and the place is clean.

We liked this restaurant best of all the restaurants in Zanzibar. The atmosphere right by the sea is fantastic. The fresh juices and the fresh food are very tasty and also very inexpensive. The staff are incredibly friendly and you can tell that they enjoy their work. Even when there was a power cut, they knew how to help themselves with candles and cooked us a delicious meal anyway. If we lived in Zanzibar, this would definitely be our favourite restaurant :)Greetings from Switzerland, Michelle and Ilena

Review №17

Very friendly service and a great place to find moments of refreshment from the sun;)Returning to the assessment of the meal, I must admit that the food is tasty but not crazy. Strangely seasoned rice, great fries made of real potatoes, soft seafood. Unfortunately, the curry sauce is very thin and not very intense. I guess they dont know how to make real curry locally, because its not the first time that the hook of tomato sauce tastes good.

Review №18

Despite the ridiculous amount of flies due to the proximity to the actual fish market (sit outside the railing to avoid this issue), the food is diverse and cheap, with portions being pleasantly large. They dont have alcohol (can be acquired and brought back from a bar 5 min. away), so bear that in mind. Enjoyable seafood experience, can recommend.

After long time in zanzibar, finally found a place where to eat CRISPY fries, cooked very well! besides that the food is obviously very good and fresh. The advantageous price of the courses makes it better than all the others

They bought a big fresh tuna at the market the day we passed by, so we gave it a try and ordered local noodles with tuna and vegetables and it was delicious! Really great tasting food with great view. Simple and relaxed place with passionate staff. Thank you :)

Review №25

Terrible! The grilled shrimps were not fresh and smelled like they had been in the sun for half a day. All seafood is marinated in something disgasting - its not freshly caught and cooked seafood. They seem to marinate them, cook them all at once and then warm them up all day 👎👎👎🤢

The best seafood of Zanzibar Island at really good price, directly on the beach and few meters away from Fish Market.You actually see fishermen bringing their catch. From Ocean to Mouth. 😋Octopus, calamari, Tuna, Dorado, Lobster, Prawns… we came here daily for lunch after we discovered it and we cannot get enough.Friendly staff, making suggestion how to experience the surroundings at its best.

Worst food poisoning of my life- I am sure this was the cause, because this is the only thing me and my partner both ate that day together. The fish was very salty, and we should have realised that was trying to cover up how old it was.

Purely by chance, we went with a guy to this restaurant and remained regular guests. We came here for lunch and dinner. The restaurant is wonderful: from the staff to the delicious food.The staff is very friendly and welcoming, great guys) We were always glad to see you. The attitude towards guests is on top 👍🏻Place 😍 You are sitting right by the ocean and enjoying the wonderful moment. The place is very beautiful. The restaurant is located right next to the fish market, right here next to the fishermen go out into the ocean for fish - so everything is very fresh. It is very beautiful from the restaurant to watch how many boats raise their sails and sail for the catch, we caught this moment at 4 pm.The portions are huge, we took one portion for two and ate. All seafood is served with rice, fries and vegetable salad. So when ordering an octopus, you will also be served all of the above. The prices are low, the food quality is excellent and the food is delicious. I highly recommend trying the curry. Also lobster and King fish really liked it. We tried their local pilau with shrimp - a delicious but pointless thing. Lots of rice with shrimp and some salad. Better just take shrimp and it will be the same, but there will be more shrimp. Fancy seafood burger, delicious too. The passionfruit fresh is delicious, be sure to try it.In general, be sure to check out here.Well done guys, keep it up 👍🏻

You eat super well and well priced, the place does not serve alcohol but it has great natural juices. The waiting time is a bit long but it is well worth it, fresh and top quality fish and seafood. Very friendly waiters. Impressive sea views. It is right next to the fish market. 100% recommendable.

Review №76

A good place. The prices are low, the food is delicious, you can ask them to cook the seafood you brought. We bought an octopus for 15,000 shillings per kg, cooking with 2 servings of salad and fries cost another 20,000. In total, for $ 20, we got a delicious, hearty, voluminous dinner for two.

Review №77

A unique place, people and of course food. This is where I ate the best octopus in my life, I also recommend an intense curry sauce - something unique.When it comes to service, extraordinary kindness and a smile emanate from this place. It is really worth walking a few hundred meters from the main restaurants and hotels to eat so tasty and at such a good price!

Expensive, flies! The place is clearly overrated.On the side, the locals clean the mountain of octopuses, and all this attracts flies to your food.We had to wait a long time, even for fresh fruit. There is no alcohol, not even beer. The side dish is not tasty - rice and french fries. Fish is common as in a hotel for all inclusive.
