Getting drunk and deciding with friends since last 6 years "bhai goa chalte hain" finaly came true.The wish to see the ocean wid fantastic food, fantastic view and fabulous people around. A good shack to spend ur evening wid friends. The food was on point, and so were the cocktails and drinks that we ordered..the service was pretty good, actuly very good. Taking all orders and serving food on time, refilling the drinks, and assisting wid few changes to the dishes we wanted to order. Ordered a long list of food here, for 8 people. Right from the sea food, to pork, chicken..and everythng was prepared perfectly.would surely come here again the next time we are in Goa!

Right on the beach, this shack provides excellent view of the shore and place is nicely lit at night time (which is the ideal time to go).
It has armchair straight chair and tent type seating.

The food quality is good.(considering its a beach side shack). We ordered Chicken wings and chicken Lollypop, both were good.
The prices are reasonable.

Will recommend this place.

If you are in Goa, a visit to Baga Beach is a must and if you are in Baga, a candle light dinner at the beach shacks is a must.

Zanzabar will provide you with this experience. You may visit the place also during the day time but it is best visited post sun set. The sitting is right in front of the shack on the sands of Baga with a view of the arabian sea.

They serve a variety of mocktails and cocktails. The Virgin Mojito at this place is surely recommended for the non alcoholics.

For Starters, we had Chicken Manchurian and Surmai Fish Fry. 

We also ordered for Prawns Fried Rice and Veg Hakka Noodles.

One must go for sea food at this place if you particularly like it. It was fresh and worth it :)

The prices are moderate for the experience you get. The food is lip smacking and the service is prompt too.

Not one thing about this place that could be bad.
This is the place to sit by the Sea side and relish yummy food.

The service is fast. They have a a elaborate food menu and decent bar menu.

Their burgers are to die for but you could skip the sandwiches as they were just standard customary grills.

Must visit but specially during the night so u can enjoy the hookah, music, alcohol and food. Great place for a couple dinner or with a bunch of crazy friends.

Good place, neat and classier compared to its counterparts. The food was great. Bruschetta was tummy, pomfret was brilliantly prepared with indian spices, the biryani, however, was below average. Stick to sea food when here.

Best continental food ..

I had white sauce pasta, I think that was the best pasta ever I had in my life.

Spring rolls were bit oily, but the taste was good.

There are innumerable shacks on Baga Beach, and we picked Zanzibar primarily because it was far quieter than its neighbours and because it was really close to the beach entrance at Tito's Lane where we were staying. As it happens, this turned out to be pretty good decision.

Its a shack. Not a whole lot more to say about the ambiance.

Service was terrific. The gentleman waiting on us was friendly and kept telling us to relax and and take our time. 

The red sauce pasta here was really good. We had it with spaghetti and this was way better than what I would expect from a wooden shack on the beach. We also had paneer tikka and were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the paneer. 

Pricing was in line with the other shacks- in that it was as surprising as the food, except not in a good way. It feels odd that a shack should charge this much, but it isn't a deal breaker.

Overall Conclusion: All in all, a nice place to spend the evening

One of the many shacks on the Baga beach but this one was less crowded and was visible from some distance 'coz of the distinctly lit sitting area. Can't say much about ambience which is always amazing on the beach in the evening. I went for late night snack/dinner. Food was decent and service was good too. Nothing extraordinary about the shack but still a good one to try.

Situated at Baga beach, this place provides a perfect view of the nightlife in a beach. You can sit in this shack and just enjoy the cool breeze and watch the waves coming towards you. Went there with my friends. Ordered paneer tikka, baby corn , fish tikka, spring roll and dal makhani . Booze is cheap here compared to other shacks. Food tastes okay. Ambiance wise also good. Music good. Service good.

Zanzibar was situated at Baga beach and it provides plenty of tables on beach side opening. Drinks and sea food over here during evening are really amazing. You can just feel the cool breeze and feel of BAGA. Being a crowded beach, this location is bit comfy to settle for eve. Food is delicious especially sea food.

The perfect place to sit by the beach, gaze at the incoming waves breaking on to the shore and sip your drink.
Food: The food is really tasty, we had Tandoori Pomfret n it was amazing. One of the best Pomfret dishes that I have ever had. Also try the mixed Noodles here it's very tasty. Over the food is good enough to drag you to this place for a second time.

Ambiance: It's good I would say. You can sit indoors as well as on the table that have been placed on the beach. They'll light up a candle which makes it look even more beautiful. The cool breeze from the sea makes it even more pleasant.

Price: Its pretty reasonable I would say. A large peg of Blenders costs 150 bucks, Chicken Noodles 250 bucks. This place is definitely value for money.

Staff Behaviour: Impressive. The staffs are very polite and are always ready with the best suggestions.

Make sure you visit this place if you are in Baga Beach.

One of the bigger places in the central part of the Baga beach. It is certainly has enough aesthetics to catch your eye too. A very tidy and organised place. We spent almost 3 hours there ordering food at our own pace and playing card games, and not even once were we asked if we were done. Though the menu said that breakfast items would not be available after 12 noon, they were kind enough to provide us with them well after that time. The bread omelette was good. The fries were really nice as well. A place with nice and neat ambience, good food and friendly staff. Well worth a visit

Good food, but go there for the ambience which is superb! Not run of the mill crowd either, so thats a huge plus point. The prawns in red masala was good and the chicken salad nice, with probably the best mustard dressing ive tasted. Overall above average fare coupled with a great ambience!

Seafood was awsome. The pomfret tandoori was the best in goa . Prawn chilli was good too. So were the fish fingers. All the music and the ambience makes tge place really happening . Little overcrowded though as we were in the new years season. Great dine out in baga among the shacks on the beach.

This is one of the coolest places in Baga. I can say this is even better than Britto's. What I love here are the food and service. You sit, relax, eat and enjoy the view.

I always go to this shack only whenever I am at Baga. I have observer prices at this shack are bit on higher side as compared to places in Goa and must be in other places at Baga. But the experience is always good. Service is prompt. Sunbeds are also comfortable with towel and service is also good. Dont mind paying little more for all these.

This is a decent place and the only reason its not on the map is because its a bit pricey. It's a good location as its close to the Tito's lane, so you enter baga beach from the Tito's lane and its like 3rd or 4th shack on the right hand side. All said and done, the menu is not displayed on Zomato so you can obviously look up for other shacks which are equally good and take your decision. I had to pay 200 bucks for single bottle of breezer which at St. Anthony's(next to brittos) is priced at 150 bucks(as of today :-))

We had fish fingers which was strictly average

Crispy Chicken was good

Chicken Burger was awesome and it was heavy on price and quantity.

I personally believe that Zanzibar has been an underrated place on Baga, even when it has practically everything to offer from Great Shack Food, to culinary delights, to amazing drinks and even Sheesha!
I'd think the reason for this is probably the pricing of the alcohol here, which is a little steep as compared to other shacks near and around it, but thats a shame!

Coming to my experience here, we ordered the Tandoori Pomphret, which was made to order, since sea food is what you should always have in Goa because of the freshness of it. The Fish was cook just to perfection with just the amount of white in it as needed which was perfectly complimented the spicy tangy red tandoori sauce which was put on it as marination, which is not your conventional tandoori sauce, but amazing!

We also ordered the Sea Food Red Sauce pasta, which was a delightful sight as the presentation and portion and the dish and then the quantity of calamari and shrimp in the dish was completely just making it an amazing overall dish which I'd order any day of the week!

We ordered ourselves unconventional cocktails as well, like the White Russian and Daiquiri amongst the regular beers as well. This was accompanied by a Brain Freezer Sheesha which was amazing with the cold base and cold pipe and was tended to by the server with expert care.

In all, the Beach, the Weather, The Food, The Drinks, The Company and yes GOA, just made the whole experience serene.
So the next time you are in GOA, make it a point to Curry On till Zanzibar for an Amazing Experience!

One of the first places we tried in Goa. Its a shack on the Baga Beach so it ticks the location and ambience boxes. The staff is very non intrusive and lets you relax without trying to coax more orders out of you. The food is pretty good. We ordered multiple starters and every one of them was well made, though the portions could have been larger. The pricing is slightly on the higher side for the portions.

This shack was one of best in North goa.
We ordered few milk shakes which were very authentic in taste though quantity was bit less, ordered bloody merry which was surprisingly great in taste, ordered non veg burger which was also well prepared and presented.
Though all the shacks on this Beach looks similar but do visit this one too..service is bit slow I would say but not a worry..

Zanzibar is a beautiful shack at Baga Beach located at a very nice location, not very far from the Tito's lane. Has very nice open sitting in the sun, has a very fine collection of cocktails & drinks, and serves very good food. 

I was in Goa during the 'New Year Eve' with my cousin and one of the afternoons, we were at Baga beach when we decided to chill at Zanzibar. The place was jam-packed, but even then the service was prompt, the staff was very courteous paying attention to each and every guest. 

More of less, all the shacks in a up-market tourist place like Baga beach look the same. Would still recommend Zanzibar a visit, as it is definitely worth the try !!

A lovely place by the beach where you can enjoy the view, sip your drinks, indulge in some really nice food and get a foot massage or a temporary tattoo simultaneously. Prawns curry priced at INR 350 was value for money, but lacking on quantity just a little compared to the amount of rice they serve with it. Vegetarian food isn't exactly their strong point but its not entirely too bad either. The staff is responsive and soft spoken too. All in all, definitely worth visiting at least once.

This was the 1st Goan shack where we tried some sea food and I must say, we were not disappointed. Apart from the usual, we ordered Prawn Masala and Cat fish. The order was served promptly but the crew seemed to be lost with regards to the content of the menu. Nonetheless, it turned out to be nice. The quantity was also good and even though we were three guys, it was enough to fill us up.

The original beach club even before the rest, love the new look, food is exceptionally great and so is the drinks. One of the best place to watch the sunset, begins the day or ending the day. I like the ambiance of this place, no unnecessary-over-loud- music, just nice to enjoy the lovely breeze. The food are great here, definitely should try the Cocktails 👍🏾 staff are very attentive, price are still reasonable, and it’s puppy friendly! ❤️ The staff are very polite and attentive! Toilets are VERY CLEAN! Range of seating options - beanbags, sun-beds, bar stools, easy chair seats and also plenty of shaded dining areas. Sea breeze is nice and strong which doesn’t make it too hot even if you are under the sun! Cocktails are good and STRONG! Ordered the Crispy Calamary as they didn’t have Clams, but it was just as good! No minimum spending and great music! Drop by if you can :)

All beaches of North goa having similar shack concept. I have been to this shack for two times, once in 2017 again on 2021. The shack provides you all type of food and drinks. You can order special sea foods. The food is good. We enjoyed a lot. The staffs are polite and friendly. Must try butter prawns.

Nice place to hangout during evening. Moat of the Baga beach shacks has live DJ on Fri-Sat-Sun. This shack DJ was remarkably better than other shacks which were doing nothing but sound pollution by playing routined hindi-punjabi tracks which were not going with the overall atmosphere.
