Jamaican flavours on Zanzibar's South Coast

Sunset Dining Off the Beaten Path

At Fahari Off the Grid, food is more than a meal. it’s an experience. We’re tucked away on a dirt road under baobab trees, just a few minutes from the main beach in Kizimkazi Mkunguni. The journey takes you off the beaten path, and the reward is a table with a view of the Indian Ocean, golden skies, and a taste of Jamaica served with island hospitality. 


Our kitchen brings together Jamaican cooking and the bounty of Zanzibar. Jerk marinades, fresh seafood and slow-cooked stews are paired with local vegetables and spices. It’s flavourful, soulful, and served in a relaxed setting where guests can linger over cocktails until the stars come out. 


At Fahari Off the Grid, every dish mixes island ingredients with Jamaican heart. It’s food with a story and sunsets that stick with you. Come for the flavours, stay for the view. 

Menu Highlights

We keep our menu simple, fresh, and rooted in flavour. Guest favourites include:

  • Lime & Cracked Pepper Calamari – tender rings, lightly fried and finished with a hint of lime
  • Tacos – soft flour tortillas loaded with Jamaican classics
  • Escovitch Ceviche – a Jamaican twist on a global favourite
  • Jerk Chicken – smoky, spicy, and marinated for 24 hours in our house jerk blend
  • Jerk Prawn Linguine – pasta and prawns tossed in a rich jerk-cream sauce 
  • Seafood Platter for Two – a feast of garlic butter slipper lobster local fish, prawns, calamari, and sides, perfect for sharing.
     

Vegan and gluten-free guests will always find options — from bammy bruschetta to our lemongrass-infused banana gateau.


Tip: Ask your server about our daily specials. Our kitchen often whips up something special that doesn’t make it onto the printed menu.

Dining at Fahari Off the Grid is about more than food. Here’s why people make the trip down the dirt road:

  • Unmatched Sunsets — every table faces west, with views across the ocean.
  • Hidden Location — far from the crowded beach bars, our space feels private and peaceful.
  • Island Fusion — Jamaican heritage and Zanzibar’s local harvest come together on the plate.
  • Sustainability — we cook with local, seasonal ingredients and support nearby farmers and fishermen.
