Karibu means “Welcome” in Swahili. Alkebulan is an ancient name for the continent of Africa. Some sources say it was used before the name “Africa” became widespread. The word “Alkebulan” is often said to mean “Mother of Mankind” or “Garden of Eden.”
At Karibu Zanzibar Cuisine, we invite you on a soulful journey across the Swahili coast and deep into the heart of Alkebulan – Africa in its truest, oldest name. Rooted in the rich culinary tradition of Zanzibar, our kitchen
celebrates the fusion of Africa, Arab, Persian, and Indian influence that shaped the spice islands and connects
them with flavors, stories, and traditions from across the continent.
