ZaVa is an excellent place for a drink, a snack or a meal. The food is very good and the staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The coconut snow desert is a must, and they serve the best pot of tea in Zanzibar. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Seafood Pizza
The food was average, cocktails not good, rather order sodas and save your money. The service was super slow. Took 15 minutes to get the menu, 15 minutes to get our drinks and additional +30 minutes to get the pizza. It's a beachfront restaurant so that's the only positive about it. Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 3
Ignore the very few bad reviews. I've traveled the world for decades and this is probably my favorite bar anywhere. The friendly, happy service is outstanding, and the mixology is among the best on the island. The sunset view is spectacular, see images. Been a regular here the last 2 months. I review the place primarily as a bar. The food we order here is also tasty straightforward bar food, but if you're looking for high end gastronomy it's not the place. As a bar, however, hakuna matata. Recommended: Happy Hour from 5 pm to 6 pm, 3 for 2, Long Island Ice Tea, Strawmbly and Mojito. Service Dine in Meal type Other

Very nice place to eat and enjoying the beautiful sea and beach of nungwi. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
Don't let the old good reviews deceive you. Maybe there used to be a great chef and good service, but as of today, none of that exists. We ordered a simple meal so we could eat and run elsewhere (rice and beef, fish fingers and tuna fillet). It took 1 hour to get ready and that was at non-peak hours. THE FOOD: As you can see in the photo, my meat was chewy. More chewy than bubble gum. Was given a table knife to try and cut it up and that ended as well as you can imagine. 🤦🏾‍♂️ the rest of the dishes are nothing to write home about. I travelled with my uncle (in the pic) who is a chef and also works his small restaurant but he was underwhelmed by what he had. He couldn't fathom how they messed up fish fingers. THE JUICE: Let me save you both money and time. Just order something already bottled and made elsewhere. Fresh juice is basically water with a flavoring. Bland as they come. Asked for cocktail and got mango only 🤦🏾‍♂️ If you're into tourist traps, this is the place to go. But if you happen to go to Nungwi and also want a good meal...there are literally hundreds of other options along the beach and even slightly behind it. Choose any of them and I'd bet they will be better than what is offered here.
I let my review here since the restaurant and the rooms (hotel) are the same structure and ownership. And the reviews on the hotel are blocked because the property has not the dignity to face its responsibilities. We have been spending 2 night (of 5) at Zava Rooms. It was a NIGHTMARE. Me and my family have been able to sleep in total 3 hours during two nights. Here I post the photo I took while I am trying to help the poor employee that had to work ALL NIGHT LONG in order to fix the problems of the electric panel. I wrote to the owner to have a refound. This man (Dennis from Russia) didn't have the dignity to answer. I do not want to add anything more. I believe that I said enough in order to provide the right suggestion for future people looking at the place. Congratulation Dennis. Food: 1 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 1
