4- Eat at a Zanzibar Pizza at Forodhani Gardens
Each evening, at Forodhani Gardens on the seafront of Stone Town, street vendors set up their stalls, selling seafood and meat kebabs, samosas, urojo soup (Zanzibar Mix), fruit, grilled maize, Zanzibar pizzas and sugar cane juice to tourists and locals alike.
In case you are wondering, “What the hell is a Zanzibar pizza?” – it’s that odd thing I’m eating in the picture above! It’s a thin pancake-style dough, filled with pretty much anything and everything. You can have sweet ones with bananas and chocolate sauce or savoury ones with meat. Mine was just onions, tomatoes, Happy Cow Cheese Triangles and an egg!
You get given a cocktail stick to eat with. It’s all a bit weird, and not sure if they’ll catch on outside of Zanzibar, but you know what? They’re pretty good!
Head over around sunset, have a walk around, grab some food and a glass of sugar cane juice, sit on the wall and just take it all in.
MY TIP: If you want to find the best place to eat, look to see where the locals are eating.
