Why Travelers Love Beach House

4.4 / 5.0(1,533 reviews)
Great views over the water. This bar/restaurant is beautiful. The staff were very welcoming and the service was excellent. The cocktails were really good and the food was excellent. We are so pleased we found the beach house. We were lucky enough to catch the band when we went too and they were brilliant. If you’re in Stone Town, visit the beach house, you won’t regret it. Great spot - they do all sorts of food - western, Asian but most importantly they have really great versions of local foods. We had seafood based Zanzibari curries that were amazing. Staff were friendly and attentive. The view was stunning - we sat and watched the sunset in awe It is one of my favorites in Zanzibar. It is walking distance from the hotel we were staying at and little to no wait to be seated. Once seated we were almost immediately asked for drinks and starters. The food was fresh, flavorfull, and worth the price. They have a rast range of sea food, from fish pizza to sushi. It was so good that we returned the next day and our waiter was happy to see us back. If you are visiting Zanzibar, do yourself a favor and visit Beach House.

The food at Beach House Restaurant was quite good, fresh, flavorful, and nicely presented. Unfortunately, the service was seriously lacking. The staff seemed disorganized, inattentive, and very slow, which made the whole experience frustrating despite the quality of the food. With better service, this place could easily be a top spot, but as it stands, the poor service really brought the experience down.
