When we arrived at the Sansibar for dessert today after a delicious lunch with very friendly waiters at Samoa, there were several people smoking in front of the entrance, more or less blocking our access. We then decided to eat outside. The dessert was top-class, the wine delicious. Unfortunately we were only sitting 2 tables away from the entrance. There were always 2 to 5 people smoking in front of the entrance or sitting at the "smoking table". To prevent any guests from sitting there, the heater above the table was probably turned off. The noise from the smokers was correspondingly loud. What kind of picture is that of a sophisticated restaurant? Well, I don't have to go there anymore

One of my favorite restaurants in the entire world! Not to be missed. First class service, fresh, delicious, seafood, outstanding wine selection. Could not ask for a better location. Crowded but well worth it; hype is 100% justified.

Where has the ease with which (for us) this good feeling was conveyed here gone? Where have the cool waiters gone who made you feel that everyone was equal, everyone was important and who wanted to make everything possible? Why is the food (for us) no longer so above reproach, so that you could simply order anything from the menu and already knew beforehand that it would be simply fantastic? We were there again the day before yesterday and were looking forward to it - since we had children, we prefer to come in the afternoon because you can get a seat without a reservation. But then somehow everything went wrong and we don't seem to be the only case, as other guests told us afterwards - the magic is gone, the air has gone out of it. For us at least. Ordered food 4 times, a bottle of wine, cold drinks for the children. Children's drinks arrived after 3 minutes, the curry sausages for the children after 5 minutes. It felt like we hadn't quite arrived yet. The wine came after 15 minutes, along with the first "adult dish". The second main course (dish of the day...) came after 30 minutes - "there's nothing we can do about it," said our friendly waitress. The currywursts were, as always, beyond reproach, but not the main courses for the adults. The dish of the day (fish & chips) in particular was boring, tasteless and not at all wow, like every other dish of the day or special. And who actually serves fish & chips with green sauce? All the other tables had the obligatory small salad beforehand, but not ours. We looked around and noticed that all 3 tables that were looked after by "our" waitress had no salads. We then asked the otherwise nice lady about it, and the answer was: "Yes, that's an optional rule, salad is only available on request. Just like steak knives." Guys, what nonsense - since when has something like that been around? But apparently all the other dozens of tables had already known about it and asked beforehand. Optional rule... 4:45 p.m. - it's urgently time for dessert. "Can we still get a Kaiserschmarren or is it too late?" Answer: "No problem, if I order it now, it will be there in about 20 minutes." Asked when do we have to vacate the table? At 5:15 p.m., please. OK, 10 minutes is too short for us, anyone who knows Kaiserschmarren knows why. Service: No mercy, no flexibility: "Well, that's it, instructions." By the way, when we left at 5:15 p.m., exactly 3 tables were empty. You can guess which ones... When paying, I told our sour-smiling lady again that we weren't happy - she politely ignored it with a friendly "No problem". 3 stars anyway, because maybe it was just an exception and the wrong service and maybe it will be better next time. But the magic is over, that feeling is gone. For now.

A warm, at times brusque and funny welcome for the evening in the rustic atmosphere. The wine list was impressive with many high-priced items. The small but fine menu was well explained by the competent, very friendly service. The quality of the food was fantastic - the salad variations, which were served without being asked. The bison fillet was soft as butter and had a taste that is hard to match even internationally - the price was more than worth it! An atmospheric evening that will be longing to be repeated! Oh, and Mr. Seckler was also at the door at the reception, inconspicuous, present and still warmly alert.

We have been going to the Sansibar regularly for years. It has always been a "safe bet". The food is consistently good and always worth a visit. Our last experiences in 2023/2024 with an absolute low light last March lead us to give the following assessment: the standard has dropped! The food no longer tastes as usual. The champagne cabbage was not fine - but mostly sour. The chicken from the oven tasted musty - we didn't finish it. The fish stew looked unappetizingly dark and had significantly less aroma than in previous years. The wines of the day were suitable for the masses, but no longer surprisingly good. The service was unfriendly to cold and unprofessional when complaining ("Quote when asked why the dish of the day was sold out so early: "That's just the way it is". With this cool saying we were left at the table without any other recommendation.) Prices: Turbot from the oven 80€ per person, so 160€ for two. Bottle of water 11€. Very proud! If only it were justifiably good. But unfortunately the prices have been raised significantly and are now not in good proportion to the quality of the food. The fact that male cleaning staff stand directly in the ladies' toilet area (not in the hallway in front) and watch extensive cell phone videos while you wash your hands and put on your lipstick also adds to the irritation. What a pity! We loved going to the Zanzibar. Now only when everything else is closed and we want to try it again with high hopes of a nice, tasty meal. Unfortunately, our last visits have shown us unanimously that the former positive Zanzibar feeling is no longer conveyed in the slightest. Somehow it has blown away.

First-class service and a great atmosphere make this place a must when you are on Sylt. You can get a shuttle to the restaurant if you want. The service is very child-friendly. The Kaiserschmarrn with all the trimmings is an insider tip and is easily enough for two people. The preuse is typically more upscale on the island. But the quality is worth it. We will be back.

For us, the Sansibar was always a MUST-HAVE on every visit to Sylt, even if you had to reserve months in advance. We have been on the island several times a year since 2009 and therefore also there. This time we arrived and there was a huge food pressure in front of the entrance and we were told that the kitchen was being completely renovated and that they were now cooking outdoors. It was 2 degrees and there was a real storm. We had no problems with this until we ordered, as we are used to top quality from the Sansibar. We had a fillet steak for €85 and a rib-eye steak for €75!! I would say that the prices have gone up a lot since then. And yes, we didn't have to order it, there was also a currywurst for €25 with truffle fries for an additional €23, so €48, phew. In the end, the plates were cold, the baked potatoes were not properly cooked and lukewarm. We definitely know the steaks to be of better quality. I know you can't see inside the meat, but there were two different steaks and both were disappointing. It's a shame, we were willing to pay the prices, but then we expect 100% top quality. We won't be seeing the Sansibar again any time soon after all these years.

We actually managed to get a table well in advance. As always, the atmosphere was lovely thanks to candlelight and excellently trained service. The "greetings from the kitchen" were, as always, opulent and delicious. The food was plentiful and good - despite the kitchen currently being relocated to a food truck in front of the building. Respect for what the crew cooks up there under adverse conditions. We'll be back and will continue to count ourselves among the Zanzibar fan community!

Entry to the Sansibar was fairly quick, without any major welcome. Ordering was quick and you immediately felt under pressure. Order quickly, eat, drink and leave. No feeling of well-being, they are only after quick money. Service very unfriendly. A grimace was made when we ordered no aperitif. Sorry, not everyone drinks alcohol. Then when we paid, the €20 tip was obviously not enough. He didn't say thank you, whispered to a colleague as we left and visibly pulled a face again. We won't go there anymore, a stand with currywurst sellers is much friendlier.

Unfortunately, it has sunk to the level of a better chip shop. You've still got your mouth full when your plate is already being cleared away. Tables are filled without any consideration, dogs walk in front of people. Of course you have to be considerate and tolerate the dog on your feet. Never again. The surroundings are just too chaotic. The food was OK. But nothing more.
