The Silk Route

Good food. The atmosphere is nice and the views are outstanding.

Had an amazing experience dining here. Truly excellent hospitality and quality of food. Owner is so kind and down to earth. Checked in with us at multiple points in the evening. Had an absolutely amazing experience

Still one of my favorite restaurants in Zanzibar! Food is always superb!! Service is amazing and quick, and the entire staff treat you like family! The beer is icy cold!!

Best and authentic South Indian food in town. We tried the vegetarian curry, almost spicy with different spices inside. The portions are not too small. The prices are comparable with the prices of the other restaurants. Rooftop-View with friendly staff. Really to recommend!

We ended up here after we didn't get any service at two other restaurants. Relaxed setting with super tasty food. The directions could be a bit better, but luckily there was someone standing outside with a menu that could show us where the entrance is. We ended up taking friends there the next day, because we enjoyed it so much! They have quite a variety of interesting cocktails. Tasty food, lovely cocktails, well priced.

Wonderful Rooftop restaurant with a great breeze facing the ocean (don't expect a panoramic view though). Cleanest, most professional restaurant we have visited thus far in Zanzibar. Staff was amazing and accommodated drinks from off the menu. Food was fantastic (had the Beef Curry as well as Biriyani). Would 10/10 recommend!

The atmosphere and location was excellent, I loved the open air venue and tables near the windows. The service was very polite and respectful, but sometimes a little slow. I really enjoyed both a lunch and dinner meal here and loved their curry dishes! They also had really good cocktails

Good menu, delicious flavours. 😋 drinks reasonable priced, nice and breezy

I came here because the next door Krishna house watched me stand waiting for anyone for about 10 minutes. Apparently I have to launch a flare to be noticed. Ridiculous. The silk Route on the other hand has great food and actively engaged staff and management noticing when people need a drink, etc. The food was top notch in both visits. And the service was excellent at the silk route. Krishna house next door is relatively terrible. Silk house is a go to for a vegetalerian.

Best indian cuisine on the island. Tasty and delicious food. Awesome location and view. For sure will come again!

Very good food.

Excellent welcoming staff, up the stairway to heaven, owner lives between Zanzibar and Toronto. Staff was excellent as soon as I noted my allergies they checked every single dish and frequently made sure I didn’t die! Great food and really good prices! Surprisingly very cheap! A good place to experience the spice of Zanzibar without taking a spice tour! Lovely!

The silk route restaurant food was awesome. Good quality and tasty. Located at prime area. You can get both zanzibar swahili food and Indian cuisine both vegetarian and Non vegetarian menu.

Silk Route offers a dining experience like no other, combining the finest ingredients, exquisite presentation, and a harmonious blend of flavors. One of the highlights of my dining experience was the impeccable service. The staff at Silk Route are not only knowledgeable about the menu but also passionate about providing an exceptional dining experience. Their genuine warmth and attentiveness added a personal touch to the evening and will make you feel like a valued guest.

Very good food and Service too, but food portions to be advised

Great place to have food, traditional Indian ambience and food is just awesome

Heard great things but read poor reviews so I felt like sharing my own experience. We we’re seated on a table with an excellent view, the service was great and the food tasted delicious. We got murgh malai tikka, lamb rogan ghosht, silk route daal, jeera methi chicken and tandoori naan. The lamb was a bit too chewy than it needed to be but everything else tasted excellent. The jeera methi chicken was especially delicious! Amazing flavour.

Great Indian restaurant if you’re a tourist and craving Indian food :) oh and also they have wifi so that helps if you’re a tourist as well. it also helped me write this review from the restaurant..just had to share the positive experience!

Ps. My husband and I are Indian so we know our Indian food ;)

The food was yummy, the staff are friendly, I enjoyed my time there

We all enjoyed our meal! I just want to emphasize that their food is top-notch! It's very tasty, delicious, and nicely presented. Overall, it was a very satisfying experience for the family, and everyone was happy. Their staff is friendly, and the view is also fascinating.

I love their food, and their service was excellent! All of their staff are approachable, polite, and kind.
The place is really fascinating.
I will definitely visit again soon.
If you're looking for a restaurant that serves great Indian food, I highly recommend this place.
