- Zanzibar pizza, a stuffed, fried street-food favourite
- Urojo (Zanzibar mix), a tangy spiced soup
- Fresh grilled seafood and octopus curry
- Pilau and biryani rice, fragrant with spice
- Coconut-based fish and vegetable curries
- Mishkaki — grilled meat skewers
- Mandazi, lightly sweet fried dough
- Fresh sugarcane juice and spiced tea
