Food
Food is very important to us, so we really care about what we serve our guests. To ensure everything is up to scratch and because we enjoy it, most nights you will find us eating in the restaurant.
But we can’t take all the credit, because the star of the kitchen is our head chef Nyerere. He is a great chef, but also a personality. He likes pop out of the kitchen to check on the guests to make sure they appreciate his creations, and his infectious good humour pervades the restaurant.
Nyerere’s story is fascinating; he left home as a boy to work in a restaurant in Stone town. Over the years he worked his way up through the profession, working in some of the best hotels on the island. As a young man he began learning from foreign chefs and blending their ideas with those from his own culture. Eventually he created a fusion of tastes and styles all of his own. Now he can boast that most of the top hotels in the area employ chefs he trained. And this explains is why we are very happy and proud that Nyerere chose to work with us at Unguja Lodge
