HELWA ZANZIBAR Restaurant

Probably the best restaurant in Zanzibar. Very cozy, good service, fresh food perfectly cooked nice wines and the best Negroni on the island.. and all this on the beach..

My girlfriend and I shared a lovely evening at Helwa while away on our vacation. We only stopped off for a cocktail but ended up staying for food. The cocktails were delicious and the perfect start to our evening.

The food was fantastic and was a real treat. I would absolutely recommend this restaurant to anyone who wanted to experience some culinary treats, excellent hospitality and a lovely setting for an evening meal.

Excellent service, which is difficult to find in Zanzibar, our waitress was very attentive and sweet. Love that it’s a small and cosy place, and beachfront. Food is very good and also presented nicely, congrats to the team.

It was incredible good. Very happy to find this place. Food was so so good. People are very nice and the atmosphere is fantastic. I loved the pasta and tuna. Don’t miss it

Amazing food fusion with Italian twist. Honestly, absolutely delicious and good vibes. 👌🏻

Best coconut curry I had during my 2,5 week trip around Zanzibar

Best food I had in Zanzibar. The pictures look different, maybe the pictures are old but the place looks super chic with a great mix of Italian/local food. We had the octopus curry and tuna and it was amazing. Very fresh and worth the price (felt many other places to be very overpriced but not here). The cocktails and attention from staff was also amazing.

Come here for sunset drinks and a nice beachy dinner! Just wish I took some photos

Very small nice restaurant and inexpensive. One of the best food places....

Honestly the best cocktails in zanzibar at the moment, lovely atmosphere, beautiful caring proprietors, wonderful food made with love and perfection, staff are friendly professional and attentive. You can't fault it. We're going back again today as it's that good.

Wonderful place by the sea. Excellent & fresh food, good prices, lovely staff.

Great restaurant! We ate there everyday and loved it. Friendly staff, nice view and fantastic food (fish, seafood, Swahili and pilau is the best). Asante sana!

Best food. My family and i have eaten here 3 nights in a row. Each night tried something different, all perfect. Grilled whole fish, Swahili octopus, swahilli prawns, fried octopus and fresh salads and chapati. It is a must visit. Perfect food and very reasonably priced !!!
