We had a lovely small lunch and drinks here. The service was good and really friendly, and the food absolutely scrumptious. I wish we could go back to taste more of their menu!

Fast service, cheap tapas, tasty drinks. Try the shrimp but its very small so upgrade to medium or large. Im glad we came.

Absolutely lovely tapas bar with good music and cosy atmosphere. Had the manchego cheese and the croquettes, both were tasty. We also had some delicious Sangria, its not on the menu but they know how to make them very well! Prices are very reasonable and the staff were all so lovely and very attentive. Would definitely recommend and come again in the future.

Live music with local music on Fridays. Gets really crowded so if you want to go sit, better go early before 8pm to grab a table. The place turns into a club scene around 9 to midnight. Bar gets also quite busy.The menu does not have typical tapas youd find in Spain. The Tuna tartare is quite good and so is the vegetable platter with hummus, avocado and pesto, which Ive had a couple of times now. Also had the streak on bread with cheese which I dont remember the name of... It was okay but not my favourite. For the size of the items (tapa type) the prices is quite high in my opinion.

Good food, a welcome change to food on safari. Portions not massive we had 5 dishes between 2 for lunch which was enough but probably need more for dinner.

Amazing cocktails that you can only find here. And you actually get it served like in the shown images. Food also very tasty! I personally think the cheese/meat platters are slightly overpriced but they are very good quality. Amazing attentive staff/service!

I really wanted to like this place.The staff were attentive, the food was decent. Im docking two stars because when I tried to pay by card, the manager insisted on billing me in USD instead of Tanzanian shillings and applied a conversion rate of 1USD = 2,200TZS. The going rate at that time was 1USD = 2,304TZS.This works out to be a 4.5% penalty on top of the conversion fee charged by Visa.This was not mentioned by the staff when I asked if I could pay by card before I sat down. It also wasnt stated anywhere on the menu. When I protested to the manager, he shrugged and said, If you come back again maybe I give you better rate.

The service is second to none in Zanzibar. The flexibility and creativity in cocktail creation is amazing. We havent been this happy, satiated and grateful for such wonderful service in a bit! Truly above and beyond. Not to mention the setting is lovely, chill and very suited to the end of a long day xx

If u never have been eating tapas is a good place to beThe dishes are ridiculous and the portions are small for being shared, one of the main important things when you are eating tapas.Eating here is like being part of the slavering in tapas.

It was a special occasion for my wife and I, so I took the time to visit this place in the afternoon to reserve an outside table for a meal that evening. When I was making the reservation, the staff I spoke to made a big deal of saying how a benefit of making a reservation was that I could choose where I wanted to sit. We were therefore very disappointed when we arrived in the evening to find that all the outside tables were occupied, and the only available tables were in the otherwise entirely empty and atmosphere-less indoor area. We told the staff member how disappointed we were, and she acknowledged the mistake, saying that someone had forgotten to put out the reserved sign on an outdoor table. However, the really disappointing thing was that there was no effort at all to rectify the situation. For example, the final outdoor table had been occupied literally seconds before, and it would have been very easy to tell those people that it was reserved. Unfortunately, the attitude was very much yes, we made a mistake, but its tough luck for you. With that kind of approach, we decided not to stay, and sadly had to scramble to find somewhere else to celebrate our special occasion.

The setting was really good with and with really nice staff. However the reason why I am rating this 1 star is that my food came and half way through eating I realized there was a cockroach in my food! I let the waitress know and she stood there just looking at me and didnt even apologize until I said I was leaving...

Wasnt really expecting great tapas in Zanzibar, and so was not disappointed. Decent though. Nice wine selection, fun crowd, good music. You can sit at the balcony and watch the street, which is a nice way to enjoy a glass of wine. So 3 stars for food, and one for being entertaining.

It is tucked away but not hard to find if you follow the signs. The restaurant has multiple rooms including an open air patio. The food was quite good but the cocktails were better.

Tapas bar. Atmosphere is excellent.Great place for a light snack and drinks.We had mixed plate. Salad. Chicken with avocado. And the prawn balls.Food was so so to my taste.That is why 4 stars. liked the chicken with avocado best. :)They bring bread with olive oil and vinegar, which is always great, as starts while waiting for the dishes to come out.Great cocktails . Very close to hotels. Minimal design. Had live music. Overall great expirinace.

Review №26

Great ambience and place.Live music on saturdays is usually very good. Maybe a bit to loud.Try to book and outdoor table in advance.Food is good, with this to-share tapas format. But If you are spanish, dont expect the quality of the tapas to be incredible. Food is nice still and wine/cocktail selection good.

Although well located and with great balcony overseeing the main street of Stone Town, I have to advice against going there. However you may not share my (very bad) experience. Heres what happened:Unfortunately the harassment started even before I entered the bar. I was followed by a local who then, as I was approaching the bar, demanded I buy him a beer. At least three people from the bar team have seen it and no one decided to react. Later Ive seen the same person to harass other customers what didnt provoke any reaction from the staff.Since I was drinking a local beer for over a week, I decided to order some imported one. I got one which was 5 months overdue. It was disgusting (who checked the best befere date on a beer if it tastes normal?). I approached the waiter and was handed another one - only one month overdue :) So I switched to wine. I tried two different reds - both were closer to vinegar as to wine. After that I just paid and left.So my tips are:1. avoid this place2. if you cant avoid this place, stick to local drinks only.

I think it’s one of the better places for food in Zanzibar. It’s a little pricey although food is really good.It’s a great place for drinks in the evenings. Thursday, Friday and Saturday they have live music.Totally worth the price! Quality drinks and great ambience.

I love the quirk of the place...the atmosphere is warm and intimate, perfect for date night (thanks to the exotic Spanish menu and plenty of cheese) or a night out dancing. Live music by local bands plays most nights! Its at the heart of the town which is convenient for getting round and close to a restaurant and deli.

Beautiful place, but unfortunately not a good place to eat. The dishes are not well-cooked or tasty. Not a good place if you are hungry, as the tapas are too small to share. It is a bit too expensive for what is served. I wouldnt come back.
