Zanzibar's cuisine is a delightful fusion of Swahili, Indian, Arab, and Persian influences. Some must-try dishes include:

Makai Paka

Makai translates to "corn/maize" in Kiswahili, and Paka refers to a coconut-based curry. Makai Paka is a popular East African-Indian fusion dish, rooted in Swahili and Gujarati-Kenyan cuisine. Sweet corn simmered in a rich, spiced, and creamy coconut milk curry.

Grilled Snapper

White Snapper or "Changu" in Swahili is a clean, mildly sweet meat with a delicate flavor profile. Enjoy a fresh and delicious grilled whole snapper paired with your favorite beer or wine.
