About this restaurant

Zanzibar Café in San Diego offers an incredibly wild dining experience with equally fun and wild décor. The walls feature plenty of artistry commonly found on surfboards, skateboards and the like. The restaurant also offers outdoor seating that lines the sidewalk under a big yellow awning. Indoor seating is rather simple with small dark wood tables and dark wood chairs where you can sit and enjoy your meal. Zanzibar Café makes it a point to use the finest ingredients in the made fresh daily foods. The restaurant takes simple foods and elevates them to a gourmet level that diners love. Whether you are a meat lover of a vegetarian, you are sure to enjoy the menu options. For instance, you can dine on vegetarian chili and cabbage slaw, or you can opt for chicken pesto or albacore tuna. If you come to Zanzibar Café, make sure you come hungry enough to enjoy the delicious menu options.

    I wanted to try Zanzibar for two reasons: I thought the lamb kabobs would be an interesting option for dinner, and on a Friday night, I did not want to be part of the busy, standard Gaslamp experience. I found both at Zanzibar, and it was a good and quiet alternative dining experience. The 1970s rock concert photos on the wall were an interesting eclectic touch. Service was good, but I might have ordered more wine or beer if I had been given a wine menu first. I was surprised that the calamari appetizer was just as large as (if not larger than) the lamb plate; I ended up needing to take some home.
