About Zanzibar

Caribbean Restaurant in Sheffield

Zanzibar in Sheffield is a total find! It's tucked away in a charming spot – I can't give you the exact address as I don't have that information, but it's worth seeking out. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly; it felt really welcoming, more like a vibrant home kitchen than a stiff restaurant. The space features warm lighting and colourful artwork, creating a cheerful, island-inspired feel.

Their menu is packed with Caribbean classics, with a focus on fresh ingredients and bold flavours. They've got jerk chicken, of course, but also some really interesting takes on curries and stews. One photo showed a perfectly plated platter of fried plantains with a spicy dipping sauce that looked incredible. I'd definitely recommend trying their seafood – it seemed to be a particular specialty.

What makes Zanzibar special is its genuine warmth and home-cooked quality. It's the kind of place perfect for a casual dinner with friends or a family celebration. The food is clearly made with love and attention, which makes all the difference. If you're looking for authentic Caribbean flavours in a comfortable, unpretentious setting, Zanzibar is a must-visit.

AVOID!!!! placed an order and when eating the jollof rice / rice and peas including chicken had gone off but seasoned to mask this is not good. The owner appeared to be a generally nice person and yes we got free drinks and sweets but this is a shop owner advertising his business too. The food sold in the shop is clearly used in take-aways so nothing goes to waste. This is not to say that on some days food maybe alright as it may have been freshly cooked however as the food has been stored for more than required other orders will experience stale food.

Worst moi moi. Just dry and colorless. I've ever seen in my life. The yam in the pepper soup not properly cooked and not big enough. The buns were too hard and there is not enough sugar in it. The pepper soup was managable. I liked the plantain but my husband said it was too ripe for him

Great food, owner is a top guy and sends fruit and sweets free of charge for my son. The jollof rice and curried mutton is delicious. The friendly service makes it feel like eating at home, you don't often get this anymore due to bigger food chains. Great guy, great food.
