@topjaw The first in our series of lobbing darts at the map, to then try and find that cuisine in London. Had it not been for this weird idea I would’ve never discovered @karibunizanzibar - genuinely very impressed. 🎯 It’s remarkable what we have on our doorstep, Salim is such a lovely guy and I would love that lamb biryani again Mmhhmmm. All hail the darts. 🙌 📍 Karibuni Zanzibar, 2-4 East St, Barking, IG11 8EU

The creator throws a dart at a world map to randomly select a country, landing on Tanzania. He then searches for a Tanzanian restaurant in London, travels to Karibuni Zanzibar in Barking, interviews the owner about the cuisine and his nickname, and finally tastes and reviews a platter of traditional barbecued meats and dishes.

Wherever this dart lands on that map, I've gotta find that cuisine in London. Oh. Tanzania. Oh, that well known Tanzanian dish, Doug. What is it? You already on the list? It's what he's barking. Something you love about that, wouldn't you? From Google Maps to tier, I'm ready to get educated on the food of Zanzibar. So this is your place? Yes, sir. My name is Salim. Yeah. Nickname, we call Pomo. Spell your nickname. Pomo because I like swimming. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. To introduce us to your food, what should we eat? Biryani, pilau, little, little, some chicken, beef, and maybe rojo. We've mastered everything today. Chicken thigh in barbecue on the charcoal grill best there behind me. This is what you can smell when you walk in. That's good barbecue chicken. Close my eyes. I'm on the beach in Zanzibar. What is the food of Tanzania? If you wanna simplify it, it's barbecue. A lot of history with India and Oman and Zanzibar and Tanzania. Everyone.
