Special Christmas food prepared by Chef Yassine. Both dishes were delicious !!! Second day we are in Mafia and second dinner we're having at this local restaurant offering daily fresh fish. I can only recommend!!! Special dishes like on the pictures need to be ordered one day before by WhatsApp.
Swahili food was delicious, presented very nicely, and was also very well priced. The ambiance is also very nice with the nice lighting, cute tables and soft sand floor. I ended up going back a few times to try everything and every meal was as good as the first. Yassini the owner is also a great guy who is very passionate about his business, 5 out of 5 every time 👍👍
Hippopotamus Food Point owned and run by Yassin exceeded our expectations by a mile. The seafood is just at another level!! We have never tasted seafood like this- it was a privilege! If you are looking to get the BEST seafood on Mafia Island at the best price I would highly recommend Yassin's place anyday.
This local restaurant is a gem of Mafia Island, in the city center of Kilidoni, the owner and staff are very friendly and make sure you have everything you need. The food is absolutely delicious and the prices are set (same for local and tourists) at a VERY reasonable price. Each meal is prepared fresh, with great presentation and is delicious. Since they cook only with fresh ingredients, the menu is not super varied so make sure to advise Yaseem, the owner in advance, by whatsapp, if you want something specific and he will go out of his way to make it for you and make sure it is prepared FRESH. Overall great experience! Best fish i've had in Tanzania.
I have been in Kenia and Tanzania for 3 weeks, eating fish in many places. This is without doubts the best fish I have eaten and the rice is amazing also. The service is also really good!
Very recommendable! 😁😁
let me share a good part for you to get good food. and It has professional and professional staff, funny and makes you feel like you are at home. You, your family and friends are very welcome, I believe you will not regret your presence soon, meet a young man who is our fellow citizen at his best.
Met a guy on my Whale Shark boat who invited me to this place. It’s near the roundabout in Kilindoni on the road to Utunde. And it was so good I ended up eating there 3 times in 3 days. The staff are very friendly and what they do with seafood is ridiculous considering we were paying equivalent of less than 10gbp for octopus/ calamari or a whole fish. They do the traditional Ugali as well which needs to be tried while in Tanzania. Literally can’t find a single flaw (unless you are after fast food…. that doesn’t exist on Mafia Island! Poli poli!)
