Nice, cheap and local food. The staff was very friendly and we didnt have to wait too long for our food. Special request (pizza without cheese, salad without herbs) were considered and we really enjoyed everything we ordered. They have a few options for vegans and vegetarians and the juices are really fresh and nice. Would totally recommend this place.

Likely the most popular mid range restaurant in Stone Town. Always crowded during lunch time.Food is good, particularly pilau, biriani and chips/fries. Good selection of in-house juices.Quality of service depends on who served you.

Good and fast service. We drink 6 different tasty fresh juices. Octopus with chips and chicken sandwich was nice. Prices are significantly lower compare to beach front restaurants.

For an affordable Zanzibar restaurant, the Passing Show had a great customer service and a diverse range of meals to give you a feel of Zanzibar.Certainly recommended for cheap, quality treats.

Great Zanzibari local restaurant! Food is cheap too! Most dishes are 6,000 TSH and are so filling. The staff are super friendly and familiar with allergies (my partner had a curry allergy.) This place is definitely vegan/vegetarian friendly too!

This place is really strange. Ive been sitting at one of the tables for nearly an hour very hungry and begging to order food here and Im being ignored by virtually every employee in the restaurant....even after trying to speak with them!Are white people just not welcome here???? Pathetic!!!!

We strolled through Stone Town being super hungry and moody when we met the crazy owner of this place - our saviour in need! Best decision ever to follow him. The stuff was kind, the food was delightful and very budget-friendly and the vibe was just great. We highly recommend it to everyone whos looking for a place with local foods, fruits and local people.

Delicious food and great service! The biryani, masala chips, and fresh juices are addicting, we had a hard time not coming back to this place!

Review №23

Authentic Zanzibar food consists of fusion of Indian, Arabian and African food. At Passing Show you will find it all.Get the Biryani! Its delicious. But be warned, its very rich and youll probably want to relax by the pool after youve eaten.If youre going during lunch and weekends, it will be busy so go early before everything runs out!

Local restaurant at Malindi in Unguja, ZanzibarTheres delicious food and affordable

Review №25

As a long term resident with LOTS of biryani under his belt (unfortunately), I still think theirs is the best. Affordable by foreigners standards. If you want to get real in terms of price and authenticity (also super duper friendly service), try Madina on the corner of the daladala station as well and go for the pilau (3000 schilling) and sugar cane juice.

A traditional Zanzibar restaurant run by a Zanzibar family of Yemen origin established for 4 generation in the Malindi quarter of stone town Zanzibar. Dont miss the afternoon bokoboko a traditional omani recipe of integral wheat and chicken mixed in a delicious plate worth a visit. Good also the pilao or the biryani.

Loved this place very much. Very budgetary, tasty, simple, clean. Mostly local tourists rest. Delicious juices. The octopus in the photo is only 8000 TZS ($ 3.5). I recommend to visit if you want to eat inexpensively.

Its good local food for a really low price. To taste among other Biryani and Ugali accompanied by chicken or beef. Fresh fruit juices are good and unusual. Be careful the portions are very very large! A meal for two with drink cost us less than TSH 20,000.
