Joshis is a very special place run by a special owner. The food is clean, tasty, and there is nothing like it on the island (Ive been living in Zanzibar for two years). The pani puri, urojo, and thali are our personal favorites, along with any of his juices.Beyond the stellar food and local atmosphere is the owner himself. Joshi and his family have been at the heart of Stone Town for a long time. He provides free drinks and treats for the local school kids as he wants them to feel as cared for as possible so they can focus on learning. He is known as Joshi Clinton to many and has won honors for his fantastic food.So, my advice is come for the food, stay for the stories as you will get to know the heart and soul of Stone Town. I cannot recommend Joshis enough!
This is a wonderful spot to stop and try some delicious, freshly made Indian and Zanzibarian food. We ate at Joshis twice while in Stone Town - once for a Gujrati thali with mango and tamarind juice on the side, and once for a Zanzibar mix platter. Although not marked on the menu, Joshi was knowledgeable and made sure our meals were fully vegan.Joshi himself is a highlight - he was friendly, chatty, and offered local advice. Highly recommend!
Went there before the coronavirus, the owner Joshi is very accommodating to vegans and very hospitable and gracious. we enjoyed chatting with him before our food arrived. I believe they serve mainly Gujarati/Gujarati-Zanzibari fare as the soups were on the sweeter side, which is a hallmark of Gujarati food.
Very authentic experience dining at Joshis restaurant outside with views of locals going about their daily business. Food was delicious and good value for money. Joshi recommended a mixed platter of varied curries, chapatis, pickles, vegetables and other things. We were not disappointed! Highly recommend, fantastic service, fantastic food.
Incredible Vegan and Vegetarian paradise in Zanzibar Stone town. We stumbled across it and became the happiest veggies on the island. Joshi is so lovely and kind, and he and his wife run this little beautiful restaurant with the most abundant and delicious vegan food I’ve discovered anywhere in Tanzania.Thanks So much !Joe and Mel
Joshis was closing for renovation at the moment we arrived but nevertheless he served us an amazing lunch. Its a pitty that we only discovered this restaurant on our last day! It definitely was our best food experience on Stone Town. Good luck for the next chapter Joshi ;)

Joshis is a perfect way to taste delicious Zanzibar flavours as a vegetarian. Joshi is the owner, the cook and waiter and is the warmest of hosts. We had the Zanzibar Mix and the thali which was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavour.
