AKEMI RESTAURANT
Read morePerched on the 21st and top floor of the Golden Jubilee Towers, Akemi is the city's highest restaurant and one of its best. The large, rounded, glass-walled room offers a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean to the west and Kurasini Creek to the south. The tables are arranged in a circle around the central buffet which is a sure bet. The menu is a delightful mix of Indian, Asian and Western specialities with Zanzibar spices. Live music every Friday between 5 and 7 pm. Reservation recommended for dinner.

Its speciality: barbecued chicken grilled in several styles: sekela, choma, lemon, masala, gajjar Sekela, chicken wings, snacks, soups, salads but also good burgers and smoothies.
