Cuisine

Our Heroes, the men and women in our kitchen, are renowned for the outstanding meals they serve to our Guests.

Using the best ingredients which flourish under the African sun: fresh herbs, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, cauliflower, courgettes, aubergines and carrots, and the most sun ripened succulent tomatoes you have ever tasted. All herbs and vegetables come straight from our own vegetable garden. Here on the Fumba Peninsula we have some of the most fertile soils on Zanzibar, giving us the most amazing, sweet, ripe tropical fruits: mangos, bananas, coconuts, jackfruits, passion fruit, and oranges.

Right on our doorstep from the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, our neighbors, the fisherman catch the most succulent tunas  snappers, barracuda’s lobsters, prawns, and crabs. All of this fresh produce and seafood is delivered to us on a daily basis, and has been for many years now.

Always with a smile and a song our chefs start early in the morning chopping, grilling, baking, and cooking. Throughout the day, despite the searing heat of Africa, they provide us with the best meals on the island.

Zanzibar is synonymous with spices, brought to us by the wonderful women of Fumba Village who use them in their local dishes. Initially they showed us how to cook with spices and gave us inspiration for the mixture of African and Mediterranean cuisine that we provide, and in the process, gave us a respect for the ingredients. We focus on elegant taste combined with simple and clean presentations to give you the best cuisine Zanzibar has to offer.
