Chinga shop
About

Chinga shop is known for food, and the surrounding streets carry the smells and produce of a busy coastal town. First-time visitors can expect a compact, local setting rather than a large supermarket floor. A rating of 4.7 out of 5 from 53 reviews reflects steady approval from those who stop by. Stone Town lies close by, so the shop fits naturally into a walk through the old quarter.
Nungwi, Kendwa and Paje lie further along the coast, while Matemwe and Jambiani sit on the eastern shore. Bwejuu and Kiwayu complete the ring of places that frame a visit to this part of Zanzibar. Swahili coastal cooking is built on rice, coconut milk, seafood and spices such as clove and cinnamon.
The coolest, driest months run from June to October, when the kusi wind blows from the southeast. Both islands are low coral islands surrounded by reefs, with mangrove forests along parts of the coast. Zanzibar was the seat of the Omani sultanate and a dhow-trade hub, then united with Tanganyika in 1964 to form Tanzania.
