Every night starting in the late afternoon, the Forodhani Gardens in the center of Stone Town, Zanzibar, turns into a street food hawker center. There are quite a few things available to eat, some of them look alright, while others could be better. But one of the most famous things to eat at this market, is the invention of a Zanzibar pizza... yah, it's not exactly a traditional food.. and I'm wondering who invented this pretty ridiculous street food concoction!
So there are actually quite a few vendors that make Zanzibar pizza at Forodhani Gardens, and it's all pretty much the same and costs the same amount, so basically just choose a vendor, and then choose what type of filling you want. I decided to go for a chicken Zanzibar pizza. First they take a ball of dough and flatten it out kind of like a thin roti. Then they add another layer of dough, this one a bit thicker and sort of already half cooked and greasy. Then go in all the random ingredients like onions, peppers, and then that scoop of happy cow cheese, a dollop of mayonnaise, and finally a egg plopped right in the middle to finish things off. The ingredients are all mixed together, folded up into a pocket and fried in vegetable ghee until it's cooked all the way through and golden on the outside.
The Zanzibar pizza is then sliced into bite sized pieces and served with tomato sauce on the side. I have to be honest and say that a Zanzibar pizza is not my favorite thing in the world. Sure it's pretty tasty, but that processed cheese paired with a spoon of mayonnaise just doesn't appeal too much for me. But that being said, it is something everyone should try once for yourself, more about the experience than about the taste or quality of the food!
So when you're in Stone Town, be sure to sample a Zanzibar pizza at the Forodhani Gardens.
