About

Karibu, welcome to Mzee Husa Restaurant

At Mzee Husa, we invite you to embark on a culinary journey that blends wisdom, tradition, and creativity. Named after the Swahili word "Mzee," meaning senior or wise elder, our restaurant embodies the depth of knowledge and expertise that comes with experience, much like the dishes we proudly serve.

Under the guidance of renowned Swedish Chef Jussi Husa, our menu marries Nordic precision with the vibrant, aromatic flavors of Swahili cuisine. Using fresh, locally sourced ingredients—including herbs and vegetables from our own gardens—we craft dishes that celebrate the essence of Zanzibar. Here, every meal is more than just food; it’s a story of tradition, innovation, and respect for the land. Whether you’re savoring ocean-to-table seafood or indulging in a unique fusion creation, you’ll find every bite rooted in the wisdom of our shared culinary heritage.
