About Taarab

Taarab is the rooftop restaurant at Turaco Spice Tree on Shangani Street in Stone Town. The operator’s current dining page identifies it separately from Jiko Garden and describes different meal formats: a breakfast buffet and an evening à la carte restaurant. Choose the intended service first, since a breakfast occasion and an individual dinner order meet different needs despite sharing the restaurant name.

The international cuisine label establishes the broad direction but does not identify a permanent signature plate. No individual menu item is therefore recorded here. Ask about the current selection if a specific dish or a complete dietary-suitable meal determines your visit. When enquiring, use Taarab rather than the hotel’s garden venue, and make clear whether you want breakfast or dinner. Its rooftop setting can be part of a planned Stone Town restaurant meal, but no particular table or view is guaranteed. Keep the Shangani Street address beside the booking and arrange the meal with the rest of your old-city day. Opening hours, menu prices and claims about hotel access beyond dining are omitted.
