Seriously disappointing food for $25. The 'snapper' was difficult to tell apart from the chicken. Service was ok and the view and ambiance was excellent.

Like the hotel that it sits on top of, this place is still living on its reputation as ‘Emerson and Green’, its initial label. Only half full on Saturday night, but this is off-season. You can sit either on cushions or in a side section at tables. Musicians on Saturday night. (5 of them) weren’t bad, but played less than... More

This was the 17th Time I went to the Tower Top in this lifetime. I guess that it was low season and we were the only people booked. We arrived a few minutes late but got a fantastic sunset and the Aarti at the temple followed by the Azaan and then we were treated to a good enough meal but... More

The food was really something left to be desired - plain and far from what we expected. The ambiance would be wonderful during a calm and peaceful evening (we had plenty of wind and no shelter from it). Definitely worth going there for a sun downer, taking in the views of Stone Town and hearing the call's to prayer. Just... More

Not that impressed to be honest! Set menu price - I only wanted a main course but had to pay for the full 4 courses when I wasn't hungry enough to warrant the extra food. Service just ok. Not as special as I had hoped.

By the sounds of things, this place was once the place to dine in Stone Town. Then word got around, they made it in the guidebooks and could rest on their laurels. I'm dissapointed that I didn't check out tripadvisor first before choosing this as my "special"meal to have in Stone Town as several other reviwers have summed it up... More

I heard so much of this place under the previous "Emerson and Green Hotel" and so looked forward to dining on the rooftop. What a mistake... The location is fabulous and I did enjoy the sitting on cushions and feeling the breeze while taking in the night view of Stonetown, however... Slow, slow, slow...drinks were indifferent despite a staff of... More

The view, fantastic, the restaurant..horrible. Fixed menu, 25 dollars excluding beverages. You get old french fries, old bread with a supposed to be hummus and one more plate. The quality is really low, and the only one reason people goes there is the view, really nice. But a part from that I can't save anything. No light at all on... More

We had a large group of 18, with half being kids, and they were able to seat us in the Swahili section for dinner. They required a $100 advance for the booking, made earlier in the day. The service (particularly the manager Joseph) was not too friendly to begin with but became better as the meal progressed. Rashid our waiter... More
