Furaha Local Restaurant — Restaurant in Unguja

What a terrible location and food!! Ok, you read reviews and try to experience this GEM!!! in Matemwe/ North east of Zanzibar. ARE YOU KIDDING ME GUYS??? this so called "local restaurant" is located just beside a school at middle of the way, so please accept to enjoy passing a cow and leave fresh cowpat beside where you seat! There is no where to wash your hands before and after meal, so please spare some of your "free" bottle of water to go out infront of entrance and use it to wash your hands.

Very good local food: we tried the grilled fish with rice and Swahili curry. It was so good that we went there a few times and ate the same. The Swahili curry is amazing, we could eat that all the time. The rice is boiled in coconut water, excellent. The chef and Simba were very nice people, it was good talking to them and get to know more about the life in Zanzibar. We also played Boa -while waiting for the food to be served- it was a really nice local experience. It is a bit hard to find the restaurant as you have to walk a bit off the beach, and enter into Matemwe village, but the Simba brothers will show how to get there. The prices are much more attractive than what you pay in all front...
