Dining by design

The Zuri beach is beautiful at any time of the day or night, and there is nothing as romantic or atmospheric as enjoying a candlit beach dinner, together with a private bonfire and a selection of drinks. Zuri Zanzibar offers the unique opportunity of experiencing a magical moment under the starriest of skies.

From fancy cocktails on the pool deck, a live cooking show in the spacious villa’s kitchen, live music on the terrace, to a delicious dinner prepared by your own personal chef, or a private barbeque or gala dinner, the Zuri Villa is the perfect venue for your most special occasion.

Whatever culinary delicacy you would like to discover and taste, the Zuri team is able to organize cooking lessons in the wonderful premises of the Spice Garden. Get involved from the very first step by learning about the Spices and fresh ingredients during the tour in the garden, read up on Swahili recipes, and then prepare and savour your own delicious meal. Live an amazing experience alongside one of our exceptional chefs.

COOKING CLASSES

As a tribute to the Middle-East’s huge influence on Zanzibari culture and cuisine, regular events are organized on the pool pergola to enable guests to discover the region’s very special gastronomy.  Guests sit on cushions whilst enjoying shishas and drinks, and then feast on delicious, traditional food from Oman and other Middle Eastern regions.

Enjoy the mesmerizing views of the turquoise waters in a secluded area of the private beach.

The “Barefoot” lunch by the sea offers wonderful seafood and fresh fish - the best of the Indian Ocean on a table.

Evening barbeques are held in the Bahari beach area every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday. Individual guests, large groups and non-residents can enjoy a great choice of seafood, fish and meat, all cooked directly on the specially set up BBQs.

Lit by lanterns and fairly-lights in the trees, to the accompaniment of the sea breeze, the beach BBQ offers a very special African environment and a truly special place to eat.
