I was stunned to find this place - inconspicuously sat within a nondescript square off Shangani. Lovely little cafe with an excellent selection of food and fantastic made to order smoothies. Due to increasingly popularity and small number of tables, it will be harder and harder to grab a table here - we were turned away twice - but you... More

Loved this quaint little place which serves organic and fresh food. First time we went, we did not get seating as it was packed. Thankfully, the 2nd time we did. The mocha cold coffee spiced with cinnamon was one of the loveliest I've ever had. But it was the prawns I loved the best. What I particularly liked was that... More

We had wanted to have lunch at Lazuli, but due to the heavy crowds, tried dinner there... This place came highly recommended, but it was worth every single mention. The food especially pasta was brilliant, the iced cafe was fabulous, portion was great and prices were appealing.... This place can get a tad crowded, so don't go there if you... More

First of all: We didn´t eat in this restaurant. But: We were sitting in a different restaurant in Stonetown and the portions there were really tiny. By coincidence the owners of Lazuli were at the same place and saw it. One of them came over and asked us to have another beer and wait as he would like to give... More

I read about lazuli from tripadvisor. I had three attempts to get the cafe and every time it was closed. It works at 12pm-16pm and 18pm-22pm. At last time I went by the open time and after one hour it was filled. Keep in mind that lazuli is the little cafe and very popoluar among tourists. My favourite smoothie -... More

I'm hesitant to even review Lazuli. I want to keep it a secret so I can find a seat during my next visit to Stone Town. Lazuli is one of my must stops when in town. The food is simple, fresh and flavorful. Try one of the iced drinks on a hot summer day: my favorite is ginger lime.

The food at Lazuli is absolutely brilliant, but because they only have a small kitchen it can sometimes take a while for your food to arrive. Be patient, because it is worth it!

Lazuli's menu highlights local flavours in delicious combinations. Their smoothies, cool coconuts, and milkshakes perfectly temper the heat and humidity of Stone Town; their service is impeccable; the prices are reasonable. I enjoyed it so much and the menu was so broad that I went twice in the same day, and could easily go back several more times without repeating... More

Great food, lovely atmosphere. Unpretentious. As others have said, fresh smoothies are fab. Wasn't busy so no problems with the service.
