Nice view, good menu. Food was delicious, much more flavorful than food in our hotel. Service was good, I would come back!

The history with the house being the old British club is giving the location an additional vibe, but it is the view that separates it from the rest. Good music being played and the food was mostly good; some fab prawns done the Asian way....The pizza not so impressive. But overall definitely a place to go; at least for some drinks/ cold beverages.More

This was a very very delicious meal after a long day of walking. The view from the balcony was quite stunning. I really enjoyed our visit, definitely going again!

The food is boring and tasteless. The interior design is cheap and unattractive. You get a view thats it, the rest is crap to say the least

Great place to watch the sunset We had chicken tikka, it was certainly not marinated, probably warmed up in the oven. It was barely warm. Did come with chips and a little salad though, wasn’t mentioned in the menu. Beer, local Serengeti, wasn’t cold, sh...10.000. Very dirty toilets. Place could be so much nicer with a bit of attentionMore

We stopped at this restaurant for a cold drink and the views during our tour of Stone Town. My husband and i shared some grilled calamari, 2 pop( one for our guide) and a bear. So i paid in Schillings leaving more than enough for...a nice tip, but the waitress (i found out after we left, did not count the money in front of me) and claimed i shorter her. Well being a banker for 32 years i counted the money 3 times before putting in the “box” and funny how the 10, 000 schillings disappeared as she came running after my husband for more money….. lesson learned make sure you count it in front of waitresses!! But obviously she felt she needed it more.. food was ok, view was amazingMore

The food was really good. The nearest restaurant has twice lower prices, but they don't have such amazing views.

Enjoyed watching a world cup football match here. Nice atmosphere. We ordered a pizza and drinks. Service was a little slow but we didn't mind. The pizza wasn't amazing but was tasty enough to keep hunger at bay. The staff were nice - welcoming but...not overbearing.More

Hi I went to the restaurant today with my family. The service and people working are nice. Unfortunately the manager of the restaurant not respectful at all, very arrogant and treating his staff badly. I have friendly spoken with him and not listening the customer...as it should. He had also very bad attitude and behaviour against my guide whom brought me to the restaurant. The food was ok not at the level for the price. The place of the restaurant is nice. Ali BMore

The biggest disappointment in Zanzibar! (Yes, worse than Prison Island) Food arrived in dribs and drabs- all of it cold. We had to ask a few waiters to please deliver our son’s remaining pizza which had been awaiting collection for 10minutes. The place wasn’t even...busy. Swarming with waiting staff with very few tables to serve. Great location! Disappointing food and even worse service!More

Situated on the top of The Africa House Hotel, this bar/restaurant offers a magnificient view of the Indic Ocean and is perfect for a sunset view... although it is crowded. I visited during the morning, and the place was completly empty.

The views at this overpriced tourist trap are beautiful! Service was average and the food was lacking. I ordered the lobster; it was dry and over cooked. My friend ordered the king fish and it was over cooked as well. I would not revisit or...recommend.More
