Dhow Restaurant

Dhow Restaurant in Zanzibar, Zanzibar, Tanzania | Restaurant

Moored in Stone Town's enchanting harbour, the Dhow Restaurant recreates the Zanzibar of ages past, when dhows were the only link between the archipelago and world beyond.

Beautifully restored from a working dhow handcrafted on Pemba Island, she formerly traded between the Zanzibar archipelago and the East African coast, laden with spices like its forbearers with only the stars for navigation.

Now anchored opposite the old Sultan's palace, the House of Wonders, and the bustling colour of Forodhani Gardens, the Dhow Restaurant provides a unique and private view of Stone Town's captivating waterfront in an atmosphere of traditional elegance.

Once on board, a delectable buffet of the finest Swahili dishes awaits, using the freshest ocean catch and the best spices of the island. In the magnificence of the immaculately restored Dhow Restaurant, the crew serve an elegant feast of grilled lobster, succulent prawns, and an array of island specialities. This culinary experience is uniquely complemented by the surroundings of the lavishly restored dhow, as passing sails capture the moonlight and the waterfront's radiance seduces the imagination.

Indulge in an atmosphere of traditional luxury as gentle waves from the Indian Ocean carry you to centuries past, when dhows tamed the open sea and the splendour of Zanzibar reflected the riches of the Indian Ocean trade. Enchantment awaits at the Dhow Restaurant, where history and elegance combine to create an atmosphere that is uniquely exclusive - uniquely Zanzibar.
