One can see the whole of Stone Town here. Try the local coffee while sitting on a bench at this small square and listen to news updates and arguments flying around, watch the people walking by, as if aimlessly and feel part of The 3D Matrix! The most sought-after vantage point is next to the 400V electricity box.

The owners obviously had a sense of humour. Lovely cool.open air oerfect for yhe hot nights. Lovely views. The staff were wonderful and very honest when dealing with the confusion of rates of exchange from TSH to USD. Food was excellent. Would def recommend it.

Nice to sit and observe locals enjoying their daily routine

The site is unique. A small square: the heart of the chaotic city of Stonetown. The facades of the old houses around the square are painted white and purple and some beautiful doors that belong to the UNESCO Heritage are also preserved, carved in wood, in Indian, Arabic or Swahili styles from the 18th century, from Zanzibars heyday.In the center there is a table where young and old men meet to play checkers, chess ... and next to it, a telephone on top of a wooden pole that says free international calls. On a corner, a man serves tea for those interested, another one sells local fresh fruit.We were said that when football is transmitted in TV, on the corner where the man was serving tea, they place a TV and all the village come here to watch the match, the love soccer!On one of the walls of the square we suddenly find this painting of a shark and that refers to the movie. Why? I do not know!

Very local & cool moment in the mid of the town.

A place where people meet and talks together and playing some games like draught and having coffes,also people watches footbal matches at this area, a good place to see how zanzibarian people interact to each other and how friendly they live together.

Dynamic centre of the Stone Town labyrinth where old and young meet to chat and relax in the midst of hussle and bustle!!

An open-air coffee shop where local people sit in the barazes and chin. Its named after a Jaws picture on a wall. He was a humorous artist. Say hello, sit down, have coffee, chat. Baraza: Stone benches for sitting in front of houses along the street. Translated into English as council. It can be called council or council in Turkish.

Feel home there. When you talk to Swahili and say hello, you always get a ginger or spiced tea and in the morning also a special Zanzibar coffee

Very impressive multiculturalism. Traders could be less invasive!

If you have nothing special, then you just invent something.

Very nice part of town. Glasan, fun, beautiful ...

Nice staff and good shopping
