Dedicated to foodies and adventurers… to the ones who are curious to try street food, during a walk around Stone Town’s colorful local restaurants and stalls.
If the question is “How does it taste?”, we have good news for you. Some of the bites and snacks that you can find along your way are very nice and tasty. We advise to avoid raw food and fish that doesn’t look fresh... but you can dare everything is well cooked!
Urojo Soup
This soup is made with tasty local spices, enriched with potatoes, kachori (spicy mashed potato balls), cassava, eggs, meat or even fresh salad. Big feed and a lot of fun!
Chipsi Mayai
A simple and popular street-food in Tanzania: fried chips in an omelette. One portion is a full meal.
Mishkaki
Grilled meat on a skewer, most favourite by local people. You can add chips, rice or ugali (cornmeal mush) and a bottle of fresh local beer.
Chapati
Traditionally Indian, chapati is a thin and round tortilla that is a replacement of bread. A take-away or a snack, to fill with your favourite ingredients.
Coconut to Drink
You can buy young coconuts, still containing fresh and sweet water, from sellers on the beach; they’ll cut off the top on the moment. What a refreshing drink!
Sugar Cane Juice
Plain or with some extra ginger, here you are another amazing exotic drink. Sellers extract the juice from the cane at the moment… so sweet!
Finger Seafood
You can find it at Forodhani, in Stone Town, and pick-up among a wide choice of fresh fish just roasted on fire. For a different dinner.
Vitumbua
Small fried cakes, made of coconut and rice, that are crunchy outside but soft inside. Great with a cup of Tanzanian black tea.
Chai
Chai is the Swahili word meaning “tea”, one of the most common drinks in Tanzania. You can have it with or without milk, plain or spicy. Either ways, will be good.
Mandazi
Typical Tanzanian doughnuts, sweet and soft… and of course, caloric. Just an indulgence, for few coins.
Mtori
The breakfast for very hungry people: mtori is a soup made with bananas and meat. Tanzanian people love to eat this early morning, and if you dare to do the same you’ll be the most welcome!
