About
On Zanzibar, Morokko Lounge sits at Manchester, Taxi station, Nungwi, in the north of the island. Morokko Lounge is known for its grilled and spiced dishes, drawing on the Swahili coast's long history of blending coastal flavours.

Guests have given Morokko Lounge a 4.5 out of 5 average across 174 reviews, a record that reflects steady satisfaction among its clientele. The lounge's identity is tied to the Nungwi area, which sits close to Kendwa and within reach of Stone Town, Paje, Jambiani, Bwejuu, Kiwayu and Matemwe. Reaching Morokko Lounge from the main resorts is straightforward, since Nungwi sits at the northern tip of the island and the surrounding routes link it to the wider region.
Taarab music, with orchestras and sung poetry, originated on the Swahili coast and remains popular on both islands. The long rains, masika, fall from March to May, and the short rains, vuli, in November and December.
The venue sits within Nungwi, a location that anchors it in the northern part of the island rather than on the southern coast. Its position makes it a practical stop for travellers moving between the island's northern beaches and the wider region.
