This cozy little chicken restaurant is located just off the main road, making it easily accessible for tourists and locals alike. But what makes Rafiki’s Chickies so special? Let me tell you about my experience there.

Before I even left for my vacation, I did some research on the restaurants in the area. When I stumbled upon Rafiki’s Chickies, I knew I had to try it out. I’m a big fan of chicken and this place seemed to have great reviews. It definitely did not dissapoint.

As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the sound of some nice chill music playing in the background. The interior was really cool and well-decorated, giving off a cozy and relaxed vibe that immediately put me at ease. The decor had a rustic charm, with wooden tables, warm lighting, and colorful artwork that captured the essence of the island. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, making me feel right at home from the moment I stepped through the door.

One thing that really stood out to me was the amazing service. We wanted to order some beer to go with our meal, but unfortunately, they were out of the one we wanted. However, one of the waiters didn’t hesitate to run to the supermarket to buy us some cold beer. This kind of attention to detail really impressed me and showed me how much the staff at Rafiki’s Chickies cared about their customers. It’s not every day you encounter service that goes above and beyond like this.

Now let’s talk about the food. I ordered a chapati with juicy chickend and my boyfriend ordered the chicken burger and they were both absolutely delicious. The chicken was cooked to perfection—tender, juicy, and bursting with flavor. The chapati was soft and slightly crispy, providing the perfect wrap for the succulent chicken. As for the burger, it was generously filled with fresh vegetables, a sweet slice of pineapple, and a rich, tangy sauce that added a delightful kick of flavor. The combination of ingredients made each bite a taste sensation.

Another great feature of Rafiki’s Chickies is that you can choose your own sauces to add some extra flavor to your dish. Whether you prefer something spicy, tangy, or sweet, there’s a sauce to suit every taste. This added level of customization made the meal feel even more personalized and enjoyable.

Overall, I had an amazing experience at Rafiki’s Chickies in Jambiani. From the great service to the delicious food, this restaurant is definitely worth checking out if you’re in the area. It’s the perfect place to grab a bite to eat after a day of exploring the beautiful island of Zanzibar.
