Why Travelers Love Zemi East
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
We had a fantastic experience dining here as a group of 15, and everything from booking to the food itself was spot on. The manager, Kyle, made organising the booking really easy – super friendly, responsive, and helpful throughout. Our server Sky was absolutely brilliant – warm, attentive, and nothing was too much trouble. She took the time to read us the specials and offered great recommendations. One of the highlights was the homemade passion fruit hot sauce she brought out for us to try – so delicious! I had the fish tacos which were fresh, flavourful, and beautifully presented. Another family member practically inhaled the lobster tacos – they were that good! Highly recommend this place for both the food and the service – we’ll definitely be back. Zemi is a lovely restaurant on the east coast of Barbados, with fantastic views and ambiance. Our waiter was friendly, attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. The local twist on their cocktails was surprisingly good and I highly recommend that you try them. There is something on the menu for all taste buds. There are kiosks nearby that sell locally made clothing and accessories. Great view out over the sea. The service was outstanding, from walking in to leaving. Had the wantons and honey chicken sandwich, bring some wet wipes as it gets messy, you’ll be licking your fingers

Deserves more than 5 stars. What a happy day finding this jewel of eateries in Barbados. Everything was on point. I had the fish cakes to start, then the fried chicken with mash and washed that down with the homemade lemonade which had lime in it and just tasted divine. I had read about the guava cheesecake so I ordered it. It was everything I expected and needed it to be. I could have done the food dance. My date had the coo coo and flying fish and the plate was clean in less than 10 minutes. The dessert was bread and butter pudding. I tasted it. Delicious. I met and thanked the talented Chef who definitely delivered three excellent courses for us and I had to thank her personally. Our server was friendly, attentive and professional. Definitely a must for visitors and locals.
