Marlin Local Restaurant

Name: Marlin Local Restaurant
Address: Matemwe, Unguja North, Tanzania

A small, well-liked local spot in Matemwe on Zanzibar's northeast coast for honest Swahili home cooking rather than a view. Expect the daily catch, grilled fish, rice and curries cooked to order, so bring patience. It rates 4.9/5 across about 110 Google reviews, unusually high for the area, and suits budget travelers after real local food.
