Hladiran Leicester Sq
Haldiram's - Leicester Square - 2/5 StarsVisited today with my wife. The Good: Restaurant is clean, staff are nice and polite, and the ambience is good.Food: We ordered 3 dishes:Kastha Kachori - Very good, I must say. This was the best dish of the day.Vada Pav - Found it to be too salty.Pani Puri - Was just okay. They can't beat any snack shop in Kingsbury or Wembley for taste.Drinks: Ordered Masala Tea - they said masala tea but there was only cardamom. Price was like a Starbucks coffee but quarter the amount.My wife ordered Mango Shikanji - it was gross, full of artificial flavour.Verdict: Would I go there again? Absolutely not. It does not suit my budget. I would go to Kingsbury or Wembley any day for better taste and better value.

Fantastic day overall!
Rough start, when the driver went to the wrong location (on the other side of the island). Pickup was supposed to be at 8am, didn't actually arrive until 9:20am. Luckily, everything was great after that! Driver and guide were both wonderful and fun, and we were able to make all our destinations without any worries. Highlights included the dolphin cruise, and we had lunch on the beautiful Paje Beach.

Not all activities completed, waste of $ and time
Not great first experience using Viator and its excursions. Guide Ali called last night to say I would now be picked up an hour later today, 8 not 7. Left me in a boat this AM with other people for multiple hours as they insisted on seeing dolphins, although I paid a private tour price. Guide tried to drop me at Jozani forest half hour before my Rock lunch reservation, saying I’d still make it on time after. Luckily forest tour lady insisted I be taken to my reservation on time and graciously waited and took me for the forest tour after, after being kept waiting all day herself. Wasn’t taken to beach or cave in the end. Dropped at hotel at 7pm. Not organized or timely. Not as described. Not worth price. Have filed for a refund and will be contacting all companies involved.

Tour of Zanzibar
We were disappointed that there was no email or whats app communication prior to the tour and we went ashore hoping that our confirmed tour would happen. Fortunately it did. We spent nearly an hour going thru traffic just to get away from the port! The driver was very skilled and used whatever routes to get us to the first stop on the tour. The driver was very talented and did many things to try and make it a good tour. The guide was unengaging and the driver really did his best to be informative, humorous, and did his best to share information about the city and the other sites while the tour guide was almost falling asleep. The driver & guide for the dolphin boat was very skilled, friendly and attentive. Our guide did give us a two minute summary of the monkeys we were able to see. We would give the driver a 5* review and the guide a 2* review = total 3* for the tour because of the shortcomings of the guide. We were pleased to be able to see some of the beauty of Zanzibar.

Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Zanzibar City.
How much does Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Zanzibar City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Zanzibar City is not rushed.
Is Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 188 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Zanzibar City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent?
+
Around 66 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Zanzibar City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Zanzibar City and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Dolphin tour, Jozani Forest, Jambiani Kuza Cave, Paje Beach &The Rock restaurent start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Zanzibar City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Zanzibar City?
+
On Outty we rank every Zanzibar City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 3 Hours Private Stone Town Walking Tour, Stone Town Heritage Walk with local Guide, Zanzibar Adventure Quad with Sunset and Transfer Included. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Zanzibar City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Zanzibar City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
