👍 1st time at the new location. At the rooftop, where you can see the beach as well as the city. Beautiful view from there. I wasn't there for food, but still ended up having their Pizza. Which I usually order in most restaurants, that's how I judge their food as well. The Pizza was great. Especially... People often mention good, view, service, nice, time, great, amazing, music, drinks, asked,

    1st time at the new location. At the rooftop, where you can see the beach as well as the city. Beautiful view from there. I wasn't there for food, but still ended up having their Pizza. Which I usually order in most restaurants, that's how I judge their food as well. The Pizza was great. Especially with the pilipilimbuzi sauce which was given by them. & a very new, very local, Tanzanian sauce which was given to us from the few customers to try out. The ketchup was really good. It's called Ni Yetu. Which means it's ours! Usually Thursday nights are electronic dance music nights, where very few customers know about it. But atleast it's a beginning. So that's a great concept. Going for the drinks...Mickey with the best cocktail menu. Serving you the best drinks. The best Icetea menu he has got. & Yes, they have sheesha available as well. The place was clean & nice. We definitely enjoyed the place. 1 star less cause I haven't tried most of the food yet. Otherwise fantastic place!

    At first it was a good experience, starting from service to the meal. Plus the view of the ocean and all things that came with it. I even asked them to change the the food as it was well done while I asked for a medium done meal. I enjoyed the meal plus the wine. But things changed when they didn't share the protocol of the place about us playing our own music via our Bluetooth speaker. Whilst playing the music even the manager came to my table and asked about if everything was alright and i said yeah, but he didn't mention about the fact that it is not allowed. Yet in about an hour or so of doing so i was told that I had to tune our music down just because some other people were having a meeting and that it is not allowed to do that and shockingly it was the same manager who came earlier to ask if everything was alright. Above all i had an unpleasant experience.

    I had an absolutely fantastic experience at Rhapsody! Their food selection is top-notch, offering a delightful variety to choose from. Our waiter was not only cool but went the extra mile by helping us take pictures, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. The fact that it's located on a rooftop adds a unique charm, even though we faced an unexpected electricity outage that day, their commitment to service was unwavering. While it's on the pricey side, our meal for three did come close to 100,000 Tanzanian shillings, the quality and overall experience make it worth every penny. A definite 5-star gem!

    We didn't quite get what we expected from the menu and the soup was oversalted + too spicy despite clear instructions from my companion while placing the order. The waiter was really courteous and helpful though!

    Maybe the best view in Dar, excellent staff and service too and the seafood is always delicious. Try the fish mishkaki. They do excellent cocktails too

    Place with a good view, ambience and friendly staff. Fine place to sit by at evening with a chilled beer. Food however was bland, barbeque mushrooms that we ordered were simply boiled.

    Visited this place during the weekend, evening time. It was packed. We took the long chairs with the beach view. Was cool to enjoy with a drink. The servers were attentive. Mojito was good. Music was good too. If you are coming with a group, I suggest book it ahead of time. Would like to go back again to taste the food.

    (Translated by Google) We can say that the local delicacies of Tanzania are called beef litter skewers. It is not bad at all. The tea garden design in the form of street flavor-i can be used in places, whether it is come-and-take or to the table. But the general practice is come and take. (Original) Tanzanya’nın yerel lezzetlerinden dana çöp şiş diyebiliriz.Hiç fena değil.Sokak lezzet-i şeklinde çay Bahçesi dizaynı mekanlarda ister gel-al servis ister masaya şeklimde uygulamaları mevcut.Ama genel teamül gel-al şeklinde.Salata dahil alüminyum folyoya külah şeklinde sarılıp veriliyor

    Cocktails here aren’t great, at least the 2 I ordered weren’t good. Also ordered the seafood platter - that was alright. Avoid the chicken wings. Service can be a bit slow, but overall would say decent spot.

    Incredible almost 360° views of entire Dar city, and a great spot to chill with music. DJ played a good mix of mainstream (both local, international) and personal requests I the food is good, not brilliant - athough the cocktails and mocktails are amazing.

    Really nice ambience with a view of the Indian ocean. Beef burger was delicious. Pasta was too dry and could do with more sauce.

  • 1/5 Abbas G. 5 months ago on Google
    The steak was a huge disappointment. All 3 of us ordered Sirloin Steaks after being told the meat was imported. 2 of us asked for medium and 1 asked for medium rare. The place was relatively empty and it took over 40 mins to prepare. All 3 steaks were cooked unevenly. There were certain parts that were completely raw. It seemed like the meat had been lying in the freezer for a long time and they began defrosting it when we gave the order. The steak was without a doubt not imported. All our plates had chunks of uncooked or inedible meat when we showed the staff and asked her to inform the chef but there was no response or action taken whatsoever. The waitress was nice but they were clearly understaffed as there was nobody we could signal to throughout our meal.

    Location is good, near the sea & half terrace with sea view & other half overlooks the city greens. Multiple vegetarian options also available. Don’t take hot coffee, it’s totally useless, better take milk at home 😊

    Good ambience, the food is good. Entertainment was fantastic. The service was most astounding to me. The only thing is it could be more handicap friendly.

  • 4/5 Global R. 1 year ago on Google
    Great place on Coco Beach. Good place to visit, have drinks, watch sports. Gets very crowded on the evenings. Go there early so you get a good place to sit, otherwise there is a floor seating option which is not very comfortable. Service is a little slow therefore a 4/5.

  • 3/5 Morten J. 2 years ago on Google
    Great view. Decent food. It could be great if the service was better and attention was paid to the decor. Dirty glass panels and a tired old fish tank full of algae greets you at the entrance. Also, the credit card. machine.was not working, when I ate there.

  • 2/5 Suryaprakash V. 1 year ago on Google
    Order given were not delivered. Had to place the same order thrice to get the ordered drinks. Check billing before payment. Excess charges for drinks charged which we didn't have. On bring this to the Steward he asked us to pay the balance.

  • 3/5 Erfan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, needs little work in food and drinks... service is little slow. But can be a great place to hang out.

  • 4/5 Aisha I. 2 years ago on Google
    We had the seafood pizza, it was delicious and definitely worth TZS26,000. No pictures because we were too hungry ;)

  • 3/5 Yakuta Z. 1 year ago on Google
    It's having your food with a view. Good customer service. Food was okayish, we had ordered chicken espatada which was quite good and pepper steak but the steak wasn't edible and chewy, we had to send it back and they offered another dish in replacement. Somewhat pricy

  • 2/5 Julie Garcia G. 1 year ago on Google
    Ok this was disappointing. A friend's birthday and the place looked lovely, on the rooftop overlooking the DAR nightlights... Ocean views daytime, but we were there at night so we sat on the other side. It took a long time to bring the wine, 4 glasses had been placed on the table, to get our hopes up, and when eventually the wine arrived it was room temperature white so we had to send it back. Another bottle - after another long wait - finally arrived and it was cold, though not that cold. We had taken our time ordering food so judging by the time the wine had taken we were in for a wait, and sure enough it took a while. And it was from basic to ok... Not good. One dish - a speciality of the house was inedible for the guest - the spinach was uncooked and the prawns were sandy. Two dishes billed as having paratha on the side came with chapatis - no excuse given. These were totally meh - could have been cooked better at home. The fourth dish was also ok - presentation of all the dishes was below par. All disappointing. We decided to have cocktails for dessert and these were good - everyone happy. The cocktail waitress was good - explained everything and suggested tweaks for those that wanted. Not a good experience overall, sadly ....

  • 1/5 Tracy K. 3 years ago on Google
    The place has a nice atmosphere and all that but the customer service is absolutely zero. The waiters were absolutely rude. They kept missing our orders and even forgetting to serve us. The food was just standard. Overall I won't be going back there due to the poor customer service. You basically have to beg the waiters to listen to you. Absolutely disappointed.

  • 2/5 nina m. 3 years ago on Google
    The Manager is absolutely rude, We went there for some few cocktails in the afternoon it was very hot during the day. The waitress was very kind and moved the fan towards our direction, shockingly the manager came and told us that the fan was reserved for some other guests and any time the fan will be taken. How do u reserve a fan at a restaurant? Tena kuna fan moja tu!!!! Absolutely absurd! He even went ahead and said that most of their customers who go to rhapsody are aware of the weather during the day so they ask to reserve the fan. What about other customers who have never been to rhapsody hw do they knw they have to reserve a fan!?? Why would anyone want to go a place tht demands you to reserve a fan before!? Worse enough the manager was just explaining as if it was somethng normal and he did not even notice that the way he was speaking to the customers was not right. We will not be going back to rhapsody again!! I think the management should check on the fan issue or else they will loose alot of customers.

    (Translated by Google) Very nice place, on the other hand I do not recommend the juices, it is flavored water, the most surprising is the confidence of the manager who says that it is pure juice without added water. (Original) Tres bel endroit, par contre je vous deconseille les jus, c'est de l'eau aromatisé, le plus surprenant c'est l'aplomb du manager qui affirme que c'est du pur jus sans eau ajouté.
