A Taste of Tradition: The Imani Dhow restaurant

It's name, Imani, means faith or trust built more than 45 years ago, this traditional Zanzibar Jahazi once travelled between Zanzibar, Dar es Salaam, Tanga and Mombasa. With a capacity of approximately 90 tonnes, it carried various goods, including cotton and corn, under the care of its 16-member Bajuni crew.

Today, the dhow has embarked on a new chapter, bringing together the charm of coastal heritage and the pleasure of good food. It's transformation into a seafood restaurant offers a unique setting where history meets the art of dining.

At Imani Dhow Restaurant, guests are invited to enjoy memorable moments with friends and family while exploring a menu inspired by the flavours of the coast. From fresh seafood specialities to a selection of international favourites, every dish celebrates the joy of sharing good food in good company.

Complemented by attentive, top-notch service, the experience is about more than what is served on the plate. It is about connection, discovery and creating moments worth remembering.

The restaurant is open daily from 19:00-22:30 hrs, we look forward to welcoming you to experience it's story, savour it's flavours and create new memories along the way.
