Lukmaan

Stone Town's favourite local canteen: biryani, curries and fresh juices. A busy, simple canteen by the big baobab on New Mkunazini Road, near the old slave market and the Anglican cathedral. You choose at the counter from trays of curries, stews, rice and grilled fish and meat, and usually pay up front. It has won awards for the best local dining experience, and it's where many visitors first try real Zanzibari home-style food. Cuisine: Swahili and Zanzibari.
