A nice little restaurant with a sea view.
The food is very good and tasty but the focaccia is amazing!
I suggest dining on the terrace as it's fresh for lunch and is less windy in the evening.
It's perfect for an aperitif looking at the sea and drinking an Aperol spritz.
They also organise kitesurf lessons and rent equipment as well.

Good food, short waiting time, focciatta as a bonus appetizer, great view on the ocean and chill atmosphere. I only dislike the loud music that comes from the terrace. When I'm at the beach I like to enjoy the sound of the ocean, not loud music, but that's the matter of the preference, I guess.
No, I don't mean local/afro music, I mean music from your speakers 😅

The place is nice & cosy, and the food is delicious. The view from the upstairs is lovely. We eat several days here, for lunch & dinner also.
I really liked for dinner calamari with chips. The tuna was also just fine grilled.
Since we eat for several days here, we tried different foods, and pastas with tuna or seafood were also very tasty.
Between my favourites are the fish soup, served with foccacia and octopus with coconut souce and rice.

Fantastic place. Owner Maria takes so good care of her guest, and the food is AMAZING. Bartender and staff also so nice!
Prices a bit higher than other beaches, (i say beaches, since the price level seems more or less the same at the other places here, except when you go to the local village.) At for example Jambiani beach you have a bit cheaper prices, but then of course they dont have italian food, NOT LIKE THIS.
Extremely helpful owners. They went above above and beyond to help me with my travels. Rooms are very clean. Nice warm showers with plenty of water. AC for hot Zanzibar nights. Great restaurant on the beach. Perfect kite location as well. Highly recommend!

I ate here several times during my stay in Kiwengwa because it was near my hotel and had good food. I ate pasta twice, poke once and a sandwich. Everything was excellent except the french fries which were so-so. Only giving three stars because I was travelling with my one year old daughter and it didn't feel especially kid-friendly, or even friendly period. For example, the owner (I assume) came over after my final meal there and said, regarding some sauce my baby left on a beach cushion, "Use the table next time. This couch is for all our clients." Not rude or anything, but I didn't feel the mess was excessive for a toddler. The sauce wiped off. I didn't see a lot of families at Kiwengwa beach, so this may be a reflection of the general vibe of the place. If you are travelling without kids, I wouldn't hesitate to eat here, but myself I probably wouldn't go back because I felt like mine and my daughter' presence was unwanted. Prices are typical of a tourist restaurant.
The food is not bad. We loved the La Base as the starter. La base is our favorite dish of the entire Zanzibar trip. Others are okay. Servers are so attentive to details. Only wish the restaurant can have some candles so we don’t need to eat in the dark😅.
We enjoyed this restaurant very much. The food is really tasty and is quite a lot so you will be full. They bring you little foccacia as starter for free. They have really cute dog there. Ladies the owner is really handsome italian guy 🙈
