We were greeted on the beach, very friendly and decided to give it a try. We walked up a sand footpath to the restaurant which was very beautiful. If you sit on the top floor, you have a nice sea breeze. The food was delicious and full of flavor. The octopus was very tender, had a lot of flavor and was very tasty. We were pleasantly surprised. The service was very good and they were very friendly.
Visited twice during our weeks stay in Paje. Its up a sandy footpath just behind the beach and if you sit on the top floor you get a nice sea breeze. Enjoyed our food both times, however I must say I wouldnt have stayed the second time if I had known how long the wait was going to be. Service was clumsy and we waited 2hrs 45min for 2 simple dishes (fish and rice). We are used to having to wait around 1 or 1 1/2 hrs for food usually, but this really was a long time. The prices are nice and cheap and you can bring your own alcohol since they dont sell any. Would visit again only if its quiet.
I like the place, its near the beach. Also they serve a delicious dishes.
Watch out! Thieves are there! The owner pretends to be a nicey nicey lady, but I was staying in the guesthouse and regularly my items would disappear and money as well. When I brought the issue the owner started playing the victim and making big drama for hours expecting me to let it go. When I wanted to move out (after someone stole my money when only owners were inside the property) they wouldn’t refund even a single night making again themselves victims of the situation. Unfortunately this is not only my experience but what I learnt other guests too. This is very upsetting since the waiters seem to be genuine and humble people but owners are extremely dark yet covering with smile.
We ate there. We ordered zanzibar beef and cheese pizza and a vegetarian pizza. Both were delicious and portions were big.While weve been waiting for food we got free popcorn and we also got a free dessert (pancakes with chocolate and mango).Everything was great and delicious.The restaurant is placed about 100m from the beach...Prices are very reasonable and I like that its a lokal restaurant.
Delicious food & good service! Luciana is very nice and funny! We had a great time and will come back
Absolutely great!!We went to dinner to Luciana yesterday night following the advice of a local guy - we were looking for a really typical place in Paje; at the beginning we were kinda scared cause there was no one but sincerely speaking the dinner went above our expectations.We ordered only food dishes (3 main dishes) and they were super good. Its clear, like any other place around the island you have to wait a little bit to be served, but it will worth it 😉The bill was absolutely correct and the waiter also offered us a little discount.Thus, Luciana is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED from us.
Amazing food!All the seafood is really fresh and the portions were ample. The platter with the lobster was absolutely genius.Luciana, the owner, is also around and she is very friendly and tries to make sure the customers are satisfied.As in the rest of Zanzi, dont expect a very quick service. Things take time, its HAKUNA MATATA!
Have you heard about narcissistic personality disorder? It seems the owner is one. Be very very careful and watch your wallet
Best foods everBest local foodWell disigned restaurantWhen you stay at the top you see the beach and has nice fresh air
Very very good food! We had 2 salads, grilled octopus and veggie curry. Takes time, but made to the order. Worth it!!!!
Great place, great food! The best seafood in Paje.Luciana, the owner is very warm and helpfull.Thank you!
Very good food. But the service is super slow, even for drinks.
The best food and hospitality! Right on the beach perfect!
Tasty, great portions, reasonable prices, great people behind this. This food really has a Zanzibar soul.
Its best food in the island

I love how Luciana is cooking. For me is the best food in the world. Dont miss swahilli evening and maasai show.
Lot of choices. Friendly staff. We are going to eat here every day during our visit in Zanzibar.

Bwejuu
Ok
Tasty!!!!
Very nice service. A bit hidden but easy to find with google maps. Very nice that you can also sit upstairs, because you get some wind. The starter of a mango avocado cheese salad was really excellent. The avocado burger rather average. The meat is very gristly but well seasoned. The fries unfortunately a limp impertinence. The calamari was also anything but crispy. Reasonably priced. Maybe well try fish next time. Unfortunately, today they only had octopus and barracuda.
The restaurant is located on the 2nd line, next to the construction site, tables on the 1st and 2nd floor.The food is ordinary.Service is disgusting.Prices are like everywhere else on the beach.I repeated the order three times, in the end I did not bring 1 salad.We went to the table ourselves, no one brought the menu for 10 minutes, the order was waited for 1.5 hours. The count was 30 minutes, they asked 3 times, in the end I went to the kitchen and found the hostess (Luciana), and she wrote it in front of me.
A fantastic Restaurant in Paje. Luciana, the owner is so nice and friendly! The food is delicius and the location is very quiet and romantic you can enjoy it. The food is very tasty and spicy.

Luciana, the owner, is an exquisite and friendly person. The location is quiet and romantic, suitable for couples, families and friends. The African food they cook is simply delicious .. everything is delicious and in particular I love how they cook fish. Every Wednesday organize the Masai dinner and show with Masai cooked meat on the fire and served by Maasai warriors, after following the traditional dance and I was very excited about the evening. On Friday, instead, there is the Swahili buffet dinner and here you can really taste the real Zanzibar food with the quality ... recommended .. Try it
Yesterday we visited this institution, the food was conditionally 2 +, we arrived with nungwi) the waitress who served us behaved as if she was doing us a favor (this is for service), included 10k on the top of the check, and then, when she was shown this, she counted twice the whole check and did not even apologize. They also drove for good reviews, but in fact not food, not service, they did not even reach 3 by local standards)
Excellent seafood at good prices. They cook for a long time. But we made an order and went to swim on the beach for an hour. Upon returning, I had to wait another 20-30 minutes. But it was worth it. Lobsters are great
The best curry octopus Ive ever eaten in my life. The octopus was very fresh but above all very tender. Luciana is a really friendly lady like all the staff. Come back here👍👍👍
First time we came, everything was very tasty. The second time they came, everything was overcooked until dry. In short, it all depends on the chef))
The place with the best price quality found here in Paje, the prices are not inflated like in other parts, the staff is friendly. As in almost all the places Ive visited here in tanzania it takes a little patience for the arrival of the dishes
Very good, abundant and well cooked. The owner is really kind and helpful. The best pilao (traditional dish) on the island.
We found it on TripAdvisor and it was a success. Delicious food at a good price and in a very relaxed and beautiful environment.Without a doubt, highly recommended if you want to eat fresh and quality product.Very friendly and helpful staffThank you given !!
Oo, Lucias restaurant is the most beloved in Paje, Lucia, you are my pride, my favorite :)))
Great food, friendly service, good price. I recommend
Good and cheap Very tastyFriendly staff
In general, everything is ok, sometimes for a long time.
Tasty.
Very nice place with very friendly staff. I recommend you to sit at the top to enjoy the food. We went twice: once we ordered hamburgers and another penne pasta with cream sauce. Food always very good!!
