Serengeti Restaurant — Restaurant in Unguja

We got there late at night and we were very hungry. We made our order and while we waited we spoke with the manager who was very lovely. Moving forward, we then find out the car machine isn’t working and we didn’t have any cash or physical card just Apple Pay and 3% battery life!! We should have been informed of this from the start before we placed an order as being from Europe we don’t carry cash or physical card around much. We then get followed by one of the waiters while we search to try and get some money to pay which is a little weird. The waiter then tried to follow us back to our hotel and get up and personal while being rude telling us “this is not good” and “my boss won’t be happy” which I found diabolical. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. It’s not the customers fault that your restaurant made the food without letting us know the card machine wasn’t working and we shouldn’t feel like we are being forced to take it after as well. Absolutely...

Sadly, our experience was not good. We were looking forward to having some local comforting food, but we were disappointed at the food and service. We ordered 2 starters and 2 mains, we didn’t get any of the starters (they had forgotten to make them, and when we asked for them they came back after 15 mins to say they didn’t have the ingredients). The seafood salad tasted and smelled off, so we decided not to risk eating it. So of everything we ordered we only ate a portion of coconut fried calamari, which was really small. We’d go back to have fresh juices, as they were freshly made and very affordable; however, I’d not spend an hour waiting for the food again to not be able...

Perfect perch in the heart of Paje!

Highly recommend venturing up the stairs to this great dine-in spot. The staff are beyond friendly and their food quality hits the same marks. They have menu options for all tastes + budgets, but I would highlight their local dishes the most; the chicken curry, chips mayai and satay skewers would be a great place to start. Perhaps lesser known, however they also have a delivery option which is verrry handy for those wanting a night-in or a late night snack.

If you’re not the one to go for overly priced beach-front food, taking a the few steps off the sand to Serengeti is...
