Yum with a good variety of options

It was lovely to have a pesto pasta dish after having local cuisine for the past few days! They had lots of vegan options (majority of the menu). Whilst it could have done with something to replace the parmesan, other than that it was relish, creamy and flavourful! Would definitely go back ☺️

Not as aspected

There were many vegan options available, but we noticed that despite calling themselves a plant-based restaurant, there were egg and cheese dishes on the menu, which was a bit confusing. The staff was friendly, but not very talkative. The food itself was okay, but not really spectacular. We started with the spring rolls and samosas as a starter, followed by the stir fried noodles and lentil curry as a main course. I ordered a juice with mint and lemon, but the mint seemed old and brown, which also gave the water a brown color, which didn't seem to be the intention. The restaurant itself had a nice decor, but was located on a busy road, which caused a lot of noise from outside. All in all a pleasant place, especially for the wide choice of vegan dishes, but not something we would return.

Pros: Nice springrolls and samosas, Pleasant restaurant

Cons: Food was okay, not special, On a very busy street, not as expected

Lifesaver

We went to that place several times, i guess we ate everything from the menu (in a few days😉
It was just super fresh and tasty.
I assume most of it is vegan. They ask you sometimes for cheese.

Amazing vegetarian fusion cuisine restaurant in Paje

The Plants restaurant was such a great finding, menu is super diverse and a good mix of local food and where the owners are from. The restaurant is also very cute and we enjoyed our evening very much. Special mention to the owner who was very welcoming and very friendly. Even offered free coconut after a good chat. Dikuje!

Pros: Very tasty , Extensive menu, Very friendly owners

Obsessed

Everything I’ve had from this place has been soooo good. I’ve been back 3 times in a week… probably going to go again. Highly recommend the spring rolls, summer rolls, chilli and the noodles!

Very delicious

I went to the restaurant several times and enjoyed a good salad, which was okay and I could chose all the ingredients myself, but not the best I‘ve ever had. In addition I had lentil curry with quinoa which was very very delicious.

Pros: Fair prices, Many vegan options , Nice staff

Cons: Not the best salad…

Organic healthy food place

I am really happy to find the street food store of the plants restaurant close to the roundabout in the street food court.
Amazing healthy organic delicious food and a relaxing nice place.
Also good balance between price and the food you will get. Definitely worthy ! You have to try!

Friendly stuff as well and i also met the friendly owner of the place and listen to his vision of making good food for the world.
Thank you and see you again.
I want to try all of your vegan dishes. Haha.

Best place to eat in Paje

Small business on the main road. A lot of different options for both vegans and vegetarians. Waiters are welcoming and pleasant. Meals are nicely decorated, freshly prepared and taste delicious. My group ate here at least 5 times when we were in Paje and we were never disappointed with the food.

Pros: Free glass of water

Cool Place

I had the pho and split the spring rolls with my friend. The flavors were good but I wish the pho was bigger (it was the right size for the price but I'd pay a bit more for a bigger bowl). They're pretty new so I think they'll get better with time. Check out the menu first.

yummy food!

they have Vietnamese, Slovak and Tanzanian food, ingredients are from local markets, the food is very tasty (we had the pho, spring rolls, fried sweet potatoes and the Slovak sauerkraut-bean stew), everything was very tasty, we had to wait a bit to get the food (probably everything freshly made?), the place is small and cute, staff friendly. the meals are in around 13K, which is the regular price for this area, but overall we expected lower prices on Zanzibar.

Updated from previous review on 2022-02-02

Pros: Vegan option, local ingredients, many different cusines

Cons: bit pricey, not locally owned

Hi. Thanks for the review, we really appreciate. However, the information is not exactly correct - the most expensive dish from our menu are stir
fried noodles, 13k. Sauerkraut with beans is actually only 10k. But anyway, we appreciate youe feedback and we’re very happy you enjoyed the food. Welcome again!

Best vegan place in Zanzibar!

Very tasty and super clean food!
After being in Zanzibar for a week now we traveled to this place and it did not disappoint! The food was super healthy and clean made, all fresh. And I really love the seasoning! We had the coconut lentils stew with fried rice and noodles dish with tofu! It was delicious. We ordered some banana bread after, and took the brownies to go… although our hotel is 1hour20 minutes drive from this place we will go again later this week!

Pros: Clean!, Super tasteful , Friendly service
