The activity operates daily from 10:00 to 22:00, with guided tastings at four to six venues. Each session includes a seated meal, two non-alcoholic drinks, and a printed map of recommended eateries for independent visits.

  • Includes a full seafood platter with grilled octopus, coconut rice, and mango chutney at a family-run beach shack
  • Visitors watch a live spice-mixing demonstration using cloves, cardamom, and black pepper before tasting a pilau rice dish
  • Street food segment covers Zanzibar pizza, sugarcane juice, and cassava crisps from three different vendors
  • Suitable for solo travellers and small groups; vegetarian alternatives are available for the curry course
  • Ends at Forodhani Gardens night market, where guests receive a voucher for one free tamarind-glazed skewer
