艾莫森胡魯米茲酒店

This a tourist ‘attraction’ and we never have high expectations of such an occasion. Disappointedly, this proved to be the case – we always live in hope, of course, that our expectations will be exceeded. The one exception here are the staff who were amazing – friendly, polite, always smiling and courteous. Unfortunately, their excellent qualities were not backed up by the kitchen and the entertainment (band and singer). The singer got off to a bad start by suggesting that she would welcome tips – this was just tacky. So to ‘the dinner celebrating the pleasure of Zanzibar cuisine fused with oriental Persian and Omani influences’. The starter of 4 tiny spinach fishcakes was dry. Arabian flat bread was OK. The remaining dishes were presented in a ‘thali-style’ - all on one large tray - were also disappointing. A small bowl of aubergine, 2 small pieces of fish which were also dry. The pumpkin tagine was also presented in a small bowl but was OK. The goat curry was a stew and was also presented in a small bowl. It lacked any semblance of spices. The rice was a hilite as was the ginger tea which was delicious. We felt so sorry for the staff serving up this ensemble. Good view of the town.

abbiamo trascorso una notte a Stone Town e abbiamo scelto di cenare in questo posto meraviglioso. Che dire, il posto perfetto per iniziare il nostro viaggio a Zanzibar. Abbiamo cenato nei tavolini bassi e l’esperienza è stata davvero molto bella. Il ristorante propone un percorso culinario tipico, tutto molto buono e con particolare attenzione alle intolleranze. La cena è accompagnata da musiche e balli tradizionali che rendo l’atmosfera magica. Se siete fortunati con il meteo da quassù c’è una vista meravigliosa a 360 gradi sulla città. Staff molto gentile. Consigliatissimo!
