Why Travelers Love ZanziBarista
Sourced from recent guest feedback and verified reviews.
Absolutely loved this place! We went there several times during our 2,5 days stay in Paje. The seafood was really fresh, the chicken salad was delicious. The coffee is good as well! The mocha is probably the best I have had anywhere. Our group went back here for breakfast twice because of it. The avocado eggs Benedict and mushroom toast were delicious as well. Our server was also so friendly. This was such a good spot right on the beach in Paje, with a stunning view and a calm, relaxed atmosphere. My husband really wanted the shakshuka, and even though breakfast had ended, they kindly made it especially for us. The chicken salad was also very tasty.

We had a truly wonderful experience at Zanzibarista. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel incredibly welcome. Warm, genuine and always smiling. The service was fast and attentive and you could really feel the heart they put into everything. The food was absolutely delicious. Full of flavor, beautifully presented and clearly made from fresh ingredients. Whether you are in the mood for seafood, curry or something sweet, you are in for a treat. (Check the photos. They speak for themselves.) The restaurant is also spotless and well maintained, which added to the relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. And that view… wow. Sitting by the ocean with the sound of the waves and a fresh breeze in your face is hard to beat. If you are in Zanzibar and looking for a place to eat that combines amazing food, top notch service and stunning views, Zanzibarista should be high on your list.
