Swahili cuisine facing the Indian Ocean: fresh fish, grilled meats and the island's spices. And, for one night, dinner under the stars in a nest.
Zanzibar has been cooking with cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and coconut for centuries. Its Swahili cuisine is the crossroads of Africa, Arabia and India, and here we serve it facing the sea: fresh fish and seafood from the Indian Ocean, grilled meats, coconut curries, pilau rice and an abundance of tropical fruit.
A menu of sea and land, honest and local. And since the Nest was born with a vegetarian soul, there is always a proper veggie option on the table — not an afterthought.
The most private table on the island is not inside the restaurant: it is suspended above the sand. The VIP Nests are elevated nests of natural fibre where a multi-course gourmet dinner is served, just the two of you, beneath a sky with not a single streetlight.
For a proposal, an anniversary, or simply because you can. Advance booking required.
Catch of the day, octopus, prawns and local seafood, grilled or in a coconut curry. Plus meats for those who prefer them.
The island's spices in every dish: cloves, cardamom, turmeric, coconut. The fusion that made Zanzibar famous, without pretension.
Tropical fruit, freshly baked bread, eggs and juices to start the day before the first wave. The best hour at the Nest.
Beach bar right at the water's edge for snacks, cocktails and sundowners. Final menu and opening hours being finalised with the hotel team.
And have breakfast among palm trees tomorrow morning. Direct booking at the best price.
