Essence Restaurant at Bravo Kendwa Beach Resort offers a warm and welcoming experience from the moment you step through the door until the moment you leave. The staff, whether it's security, bartenders, waitresses, or housekeepers, greet you with genuine hospitality and friendliness, making you feel right at home.

The restaurant boasts an impressive selection of alcoholic beverages, and when it comes to the food, it's nothing short of delightful. We started with bread rolls and sticks accompanied by garlic sauce and cucumber salad, which were absolutely delicious. For the main course, we savored grilled chicken breast with mashed potatoes in Slovakian style and Kadai chicken with butter naan. Executive Chef Ali's magical touch and aura were evident in every bite, making it one of the best Indian cuisine experiences I've had in Zanzibar over the past two years.

To top off our meal, we indulged in some dessert, including chocolate ice cream and Indian Kulfi, which were both outstanding and left us completely satisfied. In addition, I must commend Executive Chef Ali for his exceptional attention to detail and dedication to ensuring a memorable dining experience for all guests. Throughout our meal, I observed Chef Ali interacting with other guests, taking the time to personally engage with them and discuss the cuisines being served.

What truly stood out was when Chef Ali made his way to our table, introducing himself and providing insights into the dishes we were enjoying. This personalized touch, going above and beyond to connect with diners and share his passion for food, was truly out of the box and greatly appreciated. Chef Ali's commitment to guest satisfaction is truly commendable and adds an extra layer of warmth and hospitality to the dining experience at Essence Restaurant.

Essence Restaurant: A Culinary Oasis in Kendwa, Zanzibar

Nestled in the heart of Kendwa Beaches, Zanzibar, Essence Restaurant is a true gem that offers not only exceptional cuisine but also a warm and inviting atmosphere that feels like home.

From the moment we stepped foot into Essence, we were greeted with smiles and hospitality that instantly put us at ease. The staff, with their genuine warmth and attentiveness, made us feel like honored guests from the moment we arrived until the moment we left.

But it wasn't just the impeccable service that made our experience memorable; it was the food itself. Each dish we sampled was a culinary masterpiece, bursting with flavor and expertly prepared with the freshest ingredients. Whether we were indulging in local delicacies or savoring international favorites, every bite was a delight for the senses.

What truly sets Essence apart, however, is the way it makes you feel. Dining here isn't just about enjoying a meal; it's about creating lasting memories in a space that feels like a home away from home. Whether you're sharing a romantic dinner for two or gathering with friends and family, Essence provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable moments.

In summary, Essence Restaurant is a must-visit destination for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience in Kendwa, Zanzibar. With its delicious cuisine, welcoming atmosphere, and attentive staff, it truly embodies the essence of hospitality. We can't wait to return and indulge in another unforgettable...

This place is so beautiful, amazing and so refreshing. I would definitely go back there if I ever find myself in Zanzibar again. Their food is always fresh and tasty, my favourite was their big lobster. Omg🙉 they serve the biggest, tasty and we'll done lobster. When I say well done I mean it's perfectly done, yummy and worth anything. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Not forgetting the smiling waiters and waitresses always asking if all is ok or is you need anything. I must confess my experience with essence was the best on my trip to Zanzibar And oh, I loved ❤ their desert you guys. It was super lovely Pass through and prove me wrong but I am sure you will also fall in love with Essence Restaurant
