Nyama Choma: Translating to “grilled meat,” nyama choma is a favorite among locals and tourists alike. Usually made with beef or goat, this dish is best enjoyed with friends and a side of kachumbari (tomato and onion salad).

Zanzibari Flavors

Zanzibar Pizza: Unlike any pizza you’ve tasted before, Zanzibar pizza is a fried concoction filled with meat, vegetables, cheese, and eggs. It’s a street food staple that should not be missed during your Zanzibar beach holiday packages.
