Absolutely amazing place. I ordered the butter chicken hash for breakfast and it was the best breakfast potato dish I have ever eaten. The special latte is also superb.

An adorable restaurant just off the highway. We got the West Coast Benny and the Butter Chicken Hash. The hash might have been the best breakfast dish I’ve had all year. Very kind staff. I would come back in a heartbeat!

Funky little place with very good wait staff. We had Mulligatawni (sp?) Soup and the Seafood Chowder. The seafood chowder was delicious. Also enjoyed deserts. The berry crumble had no berries but was delicious and that cheesecake - wow! Not wheelchair accessible.

Stopped in for breakfast after an early flight. I haven't had an English Breakfast in forever but have been craving one for quite some time and this did not dissapoint. Delicious food and chai, lovely service, and super quaint and cute atmosphere. Excellent music playing as well. Loved it!

Really enjoyed the food here, and the lamb burger, as someone who likes garlic it's definitely got that. Also tried the butter chicken breakfast hash which was great as well

Excellent service and food. We were very fortunate to have as our server a young lady by the name of Niah. She was on only her third shift working at Zanzibar but we were very impressed by her attention to detail and her sunny disposition. She made our lunch her a memorable one.

Atmosphere was enjoyable. Service was okay. Food was mediocre. They tried to over charge us twice and didn’t come and check on us. Not many vegan or vegetarian options.

Always wanted to go here, so glad we got a chance! Saw they do a "butter chicken hash" and had to check it out. It was pretty great, the pieces of chicken were small but delicious. Service was great, I've seen a few reviews that said service was lacking. We were the only ones sitting outside with our dog and service was great. We're so appreciative.

OMG this place is amazing. The food was delicious beyond all expectations. All 3 of us had something different and all were spectacular. The atmosphere is homey and charming and the staff is pleasant and enjoyable. This is our last day in town so I'm very sad I won't eat here again. I may come back to Victoria just to eat here again. Excellent!
