Scooby Doo Beach Bar Jambiani Zanzibar — Restaurant in Unguja

A disappointing experience to say the least. We sat down around 2pm for lunch. We ordered a couple of drinks that came out quickly, and when I tried to order the burger, I was told they ran out. Meanwhile, I watched two burgers get served while we waited over an hour for our food. During the longer than usual wait, nobody came to check on us, offer us more drinks, or give us an update on our dishes.

I came here today with my friend we are both black. We walk into the restaurant and none of the owners greeted us the (owners are European) we were sat by a maasai guy who was really nice. The owners never acknowledge either me or my friend but greeted all the other white people who came in the restaurant the lady owner also kept looking over at our table like we were going to run away.

Some friendly advice: Please remember you are in a black country this isn't a European country where you treat your own better than black ppl please don't bring that behavior over here kept that in Europe everyone should be treated fairly and its courtesy in zanzibar to greet eveyone not just "white ppl" because you never knew who is observing your behavior I'm disappointed and won't be back even though the...
