Zanzibar

? Zanzibar

Zanzibar is truly one of my favorites in East Austin as they offer all my favorites: stunning city views, tropical vibes, delicious food, one of a kind cocktails and kind service. The people behind Zanzibar wanted to create a lush rooftop destination where people can leave their worries and cares at the door. Located on the 7^th floor, this restaurant offers a rooftop oasis surrounded by shady cabanas, tropical foliage, poolside relaxation with scenic views of the cityscape. Depending on which time of the day one goes, the menu does change depending on the day night and hour. Two recommendations that people specifically love and reorder are the Grilled Pineapple Salsa which comes with avocado, pickled red onion, Kennebec, yucca, and plantain chips. Another yummy bite is the Sushi Burrito filled with lots of healthy and delicious goodness!
