Hey folks! B4 Beachclub is burger joint located at the infamous Paje Beach. Ridiculous tunes combined with outraged gourmet burgers. We recently opened at our new location - we focus on good burgers and drinks, we offer movie nights on Tuesdays and Sushi

An awesome restaurant literally right off the beach, both food and drinks was excellent, prices was a bit high but for the location it was well worth it! There was a pool on the site that the guests are welcome to take a dip if the beach wasnât what you had in mind! The manager went out of his ways to help us when we asked for help....totally would come back again!

We didn't stay at Blue Oyster but we did visit 4 times for lunch during our 6 day stay at Jambiani. The food is delicious; generous portions, loads of vegetarian options and really friendly staff. The views are beautiful from the beach bar. Prices are the best value along Jambiani beach and you don't have to wait ages for food.

Definitely not the best option to eat and sleep when in Jambiani. There are much better places around. Staff is very slow and not always friendly. Quit busy with there own telephones and friends. For example: when you book a taxi you don't get the best and safest driver, but the one who's there friend and give them the best commission. Rooms are very poor, simple and old. In desparate need of a renovation.Beste Dennis en Bart,not the best place, to adress your comments...From 2 adult guys I would have expected that I don't need to tell you that at the moment something is not according your expectations you should contact us directly face to face.The first evening of your stay you had dinner in our restaurant, my brother spoke with you and you told him the food was excellent.. Regarding the staff I surely can imagine you find them slow since you come from the Netherlands where a lot of people live a stressfull life at an extremely high pace which leads to a lot of irritation between people or in the worst case even burnouts. People here take it a little more easy and try to enjoy life to the max. Pity you couldn't let it go..On the other hand I have to disagree on your comment about unfriendly staff. Our staff is highly ranked regarding friendliness and positive guest relation, if you need some feedback about that check our reviews..Regarding the rooms you get what you pay for. Yes our rooms are simple, do we mention differently? Still you have a kingsize bed with matrasses imported from Europe, ceiling fans inside the mosquito nets to keep you cool, hot water from the Grohe shower sets, 10 meter from the beach and a private seaview terrace..Then the cherry on the pie.. Amazing that you dare to speak about the taxi driver. At your checkout you requested a taxi to fumba lodge. The front office manager called the taxi driver to inquire for the price. The driver mentioned his price and then you started to convince him that fumba lodge was at the same distance as the airport. You requested the same price as you paid to come from the airport since you assured him it will not be further. To make a long story short, you made this driver bring you to fumba lodge which was in total 30km more than what you said for the same price to go to the airport, shame on you!We highly appreciate feedback from our guests, but stay with the facts, and be honest.I hope after reading my feedback you will be able to evaluate all you just said and perhaps evaluate your way of communication as this is only degenerative instead of constructive..All in all we understand we can't please 100% of our guests, as long as we hit that 99% as we do we are happy. But try to be fair and don't put your unhappiness on others..All the best and hope you will have some brighter daysThomas

Upendo offers a wonderful view of The Rock restaurant and some pretty good (above average) dishes. The nice pool is a bonus. As we are fans of curry we both ordered curry based dishes... chicken and seafood. Both were really good. One special thing was the desert - chocolate mousse. It was exceptional, but it had one major problem. It was way to little. Not only it was very good, but you could finish it in 4-5 scoops. Service was ok, while a little bit slow it is something normal in Zanzibar. Enjoy the food and chill!

we chose this bar restaurant mainly because of the roof-top providing a good shelter from the beach boys along with a good view from the ground. food was nice, only the sea food carbonara seamed somehow ...strange, but everything else was nice. kind staff and good shade during the afternoon.

Great service and food We stayed at the Hilton and so had a choice of the buffet and the fisherman grill. We ate here multiple times and had a great experience . The staff are attentive and very welcoming . The food is served promptly unlike some restaurants nearby where the wait can be very long. Great variety in food - Indian , local , seafood etc however the manager mentioned that there may be some further expansion to the menu to include some more classic favourites. He even offered to make us dishes not on the menu - an example of the great service that is on offer hereDrinks are reasonably priced as is the overall menu . It is marginally More expensive than nearby local restaurants however the comfort , cleanliness and service is superior so I was happy to pay the little extra in price .Comfortably 4 or 5 stars and would recommend Dear Jaglatne,Thank you indeed for taking the time to review your dining experience at Fisherman's Seafood & Grill. We are delighted to hear that you have enjoyed your meal with us.I have passed your feedback to our restaurant and kitchen team and we hope to host you once more on future visitsSincerely Yours,Ramy WaheedDeputy General Manager
