What Google Reviewers Say About Zanzibar restaurant

5Anas Nasheed

Awesome place for dinner. A vine of open air, live music, amazing waiter staff running here and there taking orders and a bunch of people enjoying the place. Id recommend the food in each variety like all food was upto expectations.

5Emma Bowles

€10.80 for 2 soapy tasting draft beers and a small bottle of water. Staff look bored. All very style over substance. Absolute joke. Didn't even say thanks when they presented us with the bill. They also add on a tip. Very cheeky.

5Lance Austin

Great atmosphere at night. Food was excellent. Had bbq beef skewers and mango sticky rice which were both great. I'm leaving 4 star for service only because I'm from America and service even at bad restaurants is faster and more attentive.

🍚 Bangkok rice porridge (khao tom & jok) — where locals go
🌙
Khao Tom Pratunam (24-hour legend)
Chinese-Thai rice soup (khao tom) — thin, silky, fragrant · Pratunam market area
Rice congee set ฿60–120
Bangkok's most famous late-night khao tom (rice soup). Open 24 hours since 1965. Chinese-Thai style congee with pork, seafood, or century egg. Extremely popular 11pm–3am.
💡 Order the 'khao tom set' (฿70) — rice soup + side dishes. Add a raw egg to stir in. Century egg (kai yiao ma) is essential, not optional. Best at 1–2am when atmosphere is peak.
👑
Jok Prince (Silom original)
Thai jok — thick rice porridge, breakfast food · Silom area
Jok ฿50–80
Bangkok's most famous jok (thick rice porridge) vendor. Pork meatballs, liver, century egg, ginger, scallions. Thai-style jok is thicker than Chinese congee — almost like cream of rice.
💡 Jok is traditionally a breakfast food (5–11am). Order extra ginger and white pepper. The raw egg stirred in adds richness. Queue forms early — arrive by 7am on weekends.
☀️
Yod Tan (Thai-Chinese Morning Shop)
Cantonese-influenced fish congee · Yaowarat / Chinatown
Congee ฿60–100
Traditional Yaowarat-style open-shop rice porridge. Watch the huge woks simmering all night. Fish congee (khao tom pla) is the specialty — whole fish steamed in the porridge.
💡 Chinatown area has the most authentic 24-hour congee spots. Fish congee with ginger and sesame oil is the most Thai-Chinese dish you can try. Eat with the provided dipping sauces.
📱 Thai SIM card guide — which to buy & where
📶
True Move H
Best for tourists — widest 5G coverage
Tourist SIM ฿299–599 (7–30 days, unlimited data with speed cap at 1GB/day after fair-use)
Thailand's most tourist-friendly SIM. Pre-registered SIM — no Thai ID needed. Airtime + data bundled. International calls included on some packages.
💡 Buy at airport arrival hall (counter clearly marked). 7-day unlimited: ฿299. 30-day unlimited: ฿599. Activate by scratching the code and calling the number on the package.
🔵
DTAC (now NT)
Good coverage, reliable speeds
Tourist SIM ฿299–499 (7–30 days)
Former competitor to AIS and True, now merged with NT. Good 4G coverage countrywide. Some promotions beat True on price — worth comparing at airport.
💡 Look for the blue logo. Registration sometimes required at counter vs True's self-activate. Ask staff to help register if purchasing at mall location.
🔴
AIS
Thailand's largest carrier — rural and island coverage
Tourist SIM ฿299–699 depending on data bundle
Best carrier for visiting islands or rural Thailand — coverage where others drop out. Koh Samui, Pai, Khao Yai all have reliable AIS signal.
💡 AIS Passport SIM specifically designed for tourists — most commonly recommended if traveling outside Bangkok. Ask for the 'AIS TOURIST SIM' specifically.
Quick tips:
  • Bring your unlocked phone — Thai SIM cards are nano/micro/standard and shops will cut to size
  • Buy at airport arrival immediately — skip the roaming bill. Setup takes 3 minutes.
  • Line app (Thailand's WeChat) uses data, not SMS — WhatsApp works fine too
  • 5G coverage: only Bangkok and major cities. Everywhere else is 4G (still fast)
  • Tethering/hotspot allowed on all tourist SIMs — great for traveling with tablets
