I truly enjoyed everything about this place. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful, and the atmosphere in the garden was simply out of this world. The food was bursting with flavor; although the menu had limited options, every single dish was carefully selected and well-prepared. I always recommend this place to my friends whenever they visit Stone Town A beautiful restaurant in the heart of Stone Town, where you can dine in an indoor garden. We loved the dishes, and the use of spices is very unique. Some evenings they have live entertainment. Went for a Friday night dinner, cocktail, and concert which was really lovely to see- it was a local group of performers. The concert is 10k TZS additional and starts around 8:15PM so you can time your dinner appropriately. The restaurant is beautiful with cool architecture and plants- it must be pretty during the daytime as well!

A special dinner experience in the heart of Stone Town. The Secret Garden, part of the famous Emerson Spice Hotel, is tucked away behind carved doors and old walls, an elegant corner of the city quietly brought back to life. The setting is lush with greenery—vines, palms, and blossoms softening the stone and timber, creating a space that feels both timeless and intimate. The menu is small and carefully curated, with each dish given attention and care. I chose the East African curry Kuku wa Kupaka—rich, fragrant, and deeply satisfying. On weekends, they host live concerts, adding another layer to the already magical atmosphere.
