Karibu Restaurant
Karibu
An island fusion restaurant run by owner Jorge, known for its many ways of serving tuna and often ranked the best meal on the island.
Karibu is in the Stone Town museum quarter and is decorated in the traditional style of Mozambique Island, with old island artifacts on display. The menu blends Portuguese, African and Mediterranean flavours, a nod to the island's history as a 15th-century port on the spice route. Locals often call it 'Jorge's place' after the owner. Reviewers especially praise the fresh tuna: sesame tuna, tuna carpaccio and ginger-chilli tuna. Other options include lobster, parrotfish and matapa, a cassava-leaf stew. Reservations are accepted. Lunch and dinner are served at mid-range prices.
