Why Travelers Love Ratatouille Zanzibar
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
4.7 / 5.0(322 reviews)
Probably the best steak you can get on Zanzibar. One of the best in my life. Served with ratatouille and sauce was really great experience. For the dessert we ordered chocolate fondant. It was very moist as it should be. Staff was also were helpful. I can recommend this place to everyone who seeks for something more than just a dinner. Absolutely delicious steak, cooked to perfection and full of flavor. The service was outstanding: attentive, friendly, and professional. The chocolate cake with ice cream as desert was also excellent. One of the best dining experiences we’ve had in Zanzibar. Highly recommended! Very nice place! We came from Dubai (originally from Ukraine) I was looking for beef tartare everywhere and found it here. Perfectly cooked,served with graten ,sauces on the side,so tasty,the staff is VERY polite. They will explain you everything here and welcome you making you feel at home. Also the place is very clean ,there is small garden here while you entering. Highly recommend. ALSO: if you want to have seafood here you have to book because they catch it for you in Stone Town the same day so it is freshly cooked for you

Was very pleasantly surprised. The quality of the meat and the professionalism with which it was cooked was way beyond what I was expecting. 21 years in Zanzibar and this was in the top 3 steak experiences I've had here. Well done to the team. Prices were fair. Eddie our server was a gem
