This is an amazing experience, and well worth travelling from anywhere on Unguja island to experience. We travelled to this restaurant from nungwi as part of a day trip to the dolphin swimming and Jozani forest. We were not disappointed. We went for lunch and loved it. The restaurant is exactly as it appears on the website and photos on... More

I heard about this hotel many good things. And now I've confirmed. It is really good. I went with some friends when we were in Zanzibar. Good food, dishes well presented and indescribable view. It's seems like you eat straight over the sea. Real impressive!! Recommended to all.

We went to the rock for lunch on my birthday, while visiting Zanzibar. It was definitely worth the drive. It's simply spectacular. This restaurant, on a rock, in the ocean, surrounded by crystal clear water and white sand. Priceless! I loved the fact that at low tide you get to walk on the ocean floor to get to the restaurant...

This is a place I have been wanting to visit for years and I can finally tick it off the list. It met and exceeded my expectations. The view is amazing with food to match.

Extraordinary location, attentive service, magnificent views, fresh seafood. A massive two-person platter of lobster, fish, prawns, and fries for US$50.

I spent one week there and made my wedding party, staff perfect, food perfect, location...amazing the manager was polite and very kind with everyone.

Amazing food, amazing location, and great staff! By far a must go to restaurant if you are in Zanzibar and like seafood!

I would put this restaurant at the top of my dining experiences. The Rock in Zanzibar is a destination in itself--either surrounded by the sea or an expanse of gorgeous sand. The food is fresh and delicious, the service is laid back but efficient. It was definitely the highlight of all our dining on Zanzibar Island, Tanzania.
