The food in Amaan Restaurant is not of the superb quality the website and brochures made me believe.
We had shallow fried snapper, which was a bit heavy on the stomach, ordered with chips, but served with fried rice, slightly too greasy. No complaints about the stewed vegetables, though. Their pizzas are a better choice. They are freshly made in a wood-burning oven. But they are nothing to write hone about. Prices are about Tsh 4000 (4 euros) per dish or pizza.
Allow one hour from the time you order until the food is on the table and longer if you are unlucky and a bigger party has ordered before you.
The view from the restaurant is superb; it overlooks the ocean and has amazing sunsets if there are not too many clouds.
Check out their website. The photos on this site are no longer accurate as the place burnt down last year. Not only Amaan Bungalows burnt down, but several hotels nearby did too. At the moment, rebuilding is in progress. Faulty electricity or arson? The locals are not very happy with these tourist places mainly because the staff is recruited from Tanzania and Dar es Salaam in particular. This way the locals do not benefit from tourism. Two years ago on the east coast, an Italian resort burnt down after protesting locals had set it on fire.
