    The location is the star of Karambezi Cafe. However, the food and service also does match up to the amazing view! They had love music playing on the day we visited. The T-Bone steak is to die for. Highly recommend for a night out for dinner or a few drinks with friends.

    Right on the ocean cliff surrounded by a 180 degree view of the beautiful Indian Ocean Right lies the Karambezi Café! Bring your friends and loved ones and join us for the most deliciously fresh seafood you’ve ever tasted, or why not go for our famous steaks, amazingly juicy burgers or big pizzas? The panoramic view of the gorgeous Indian Ocean, combined with the great work of our chefs makes for a no better way - and nowhere better - to really enjoy yourself and your meal! Here everyone from far away tourists to our dear Dar es Salaam residents find their spot. The big outside deck together with the Coffee Bar, upstairs Deck, Lounge and Bar areas, has room for friendly lunches, casual business meetings, after work drinks and dinner parties - large or small! We open our doors at 06.00 every day when the Breakfast Buffet starts, and close in the late hours of the evening when our last guests have finished their last glass. Any time of day, any day of the week, is a good time to come and create new memories. Every day we welcome hundreds of guests for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and we so look forward to seeing you here too!

    Great high end restaurant with amazing views to the ocean and enjoying the breeze. The food is good and the service outstanding. Adam the best waiter. The music a bit loud for lunch time. Recommended

    Very good environment and the fantastic view of Indian Ocean. Loved the food and the amount of serving. Tasty and delicious food of variety of choices from Indian to continental. The only problem you may find that the delay in delivery of food if the place is crowded.

    Lovely restaurant with breathtaking views of the Indian Ocean - feels like you're sitting right atop the ocean. You can choose to sit upstairs (better views) or on the deck (more robust experience - especially if you choose open-air sitting). Service was good. Waiters were cheerful but things were a bit uncoordinated, perhaps due to the number of guests at the time of my visit. Also, the mashed potatoes seemed rushed as it really was below average for me. The pull-apart bread should be renamed, it’s definitely what they say it is. It's a place I would visit again mostly due to the fantastic location. I hear they sometimes have live bands too, and their platter options are usually a great deal for sharing. Oh, it could be a bit confusing to find for first timers who may not be aware it's located inside the Sea Cliff Hotel, behind the casino area. The environment is super clean and well maintained. The Wi-Fi works too!

    Very nice view on the cliffs, great location, friendly service and very good cheesecake. Live music was fun and sunset beautiful as well. If you catch a table near the ocean, the experience is really nice.

    Its one of the nicest & beautiful place in Dar es salaam.. a must visit for its food & scenic beauty .. one of our favorite place for a calm Sunday brunch.. Little expensive then your usual Restuarants & but worth going.. Love the Exploding Chocolate Cake(Lava-cake). A must try

    Excellent ambience. Great location. Delightful live music on Saturday nights. The food, however, was very average but the service was good overall. It may also just be the dish I ordered, so I would definitely return and try something else. Worth a visit.

    I had the Ocean Tray (fried shrimp & calamari). The mashed potato, batter, and both dipping sauces were all bland. Seafood didn't taste/smell fresh and I got stomachache the next day. The price range here doesn't match the quality of food.

    It's a lovely place with beautiful views of the ocean. The cafe closes around 10:30pm. The waitress who attended to us was really nice. Unfortunately we arrived late when the gate to the oceanfront had closed and we were told we can only access it before 6pm. But all in all it was a great night👌

  • 4/5 Siku H. 1 month ago on Google • 113 reviews New
    Get the Tsh 300,000 seafood platter you won't regret it. But make sure there at least 5 people it's not a two people meal. The ambiance is also great but they close way too early. They close at 10pm daily including weekends which is disappointing.

  • 5/5 Ethel T. 4 years ago on Google
    Lovely lively place. Great views of the ocean, beach and cliffs. Live music on Fridays and Saturdays. More importantly, live music that doesn’t suck. Good covers of current hits and easy listening. The food is great. I recommend the Zanzibar tray, with coconut prawns and plantain chips. Cocktails are basic but well executed, try a spicy mojito. Locals come here, always a good sign.

    Great vibey atmosphere next to land-based casino. Live music band played great music selection. Wonderful views of the cove and sea beyond. Plenty of seating and tables were right next to the edge of the water for added ambiance of the waves coasting in. Good food however the lobster at R500 was quite bland and overally disappointing. Friendly service and cool bar area to hang out at and music was not too loud for conversation. Easy to access with plenty of parking and taxis outside. Walking distance to nearby Sea Cliff Hotel. Highly recommended for a sundowner drink and snack.

    Nice views and classy restaurant. My coconut seafood dish was good but I took out 2 stars because we ordered a tuna dish with a milky sauce that was definitely off. The manager was understanding and did not charge us for that dish. I would mainly recommend this place for cocktails and desserts as the atmosphere is great and service is good.

    First things first, Our waiter Adam is the man!. Ask for him when you visit the restaurant. We ordered the seafood platter and it was really good, specially the fish. Ordered Two drinks , good life and Bee delicious they were ok. Not recommended. Above and beyond service from Adam👍🏽🤩Fish cake appetizer was also a good choice. No pic

    Very good with really loud live music. REALLY annoying.. it would be way better if the volume was a bit medium to be able to have a conversation going around.

  • 4/5 Rainer M. 4 years ago on Google
    Walking distance from my actual home and have been several times for breakfast and dinner. Sunday morning beautiful view over the ocean very good variety of hot and cold items... Everything you want. If should say something, the country has beautiful tropical fruit present it better and assure it's always offered. No need of strawberries and grapes they only expensive. Bread selection some rye and dark breads would be nice and to be honest price is not low, what is fine, but then include the espresso and cappuccino in it. The cost is really low for it. Dinner have not been disappointed some are great such as the tuna steak or the BBQ ribs. The steaks mmmm have eaten better and seems to be a meat quality issue. Dessert basics and as everywhere in DAR nothing special. Tropical fruit salad with V ice cream... Skip the grapes and strawberries no need. Service always attentive and polite at times a little bit distracted but fine. Weekend life music..

The staff is very attentive and kind. The price is more reasonable than you would expect for a place with this kind if view. It's a good place to enjoy an afternoon lunch or sunset.

    (Translated by Google) It is a hotel by the sea. Cafe areas are spacious. Beverage menu is nice. It is possible to meet a Turkish man at any moment. There is no very high price tariff. The service is fast, the team is friendly. It can be difficult to find a table on the sides, but the frame is disturbing the work. Something between you and the sea: (( (Original) Denize sıfır bir otel.Kafe alanları ferah.İçecek menüsü güzel.Her an bir Türk’le karşılaşmak mümkün.Çok kabarık bir fiyat tarifesi yok.

    (Translated by Google) Great atmosphere, super ocean view, nice live music (full band playing). The cuisine is good, the wine is good, the prices are above average. Most of the rest are locals, tourists from the strength of ten to fifteen percent. The place is highly recommended. (Original) Отличная атмосфера, супер вид на океан, приятная живая музыка (играет полноценная группа). Кухня хороша, вино тоже, цены выше средних. Отдыхают в основном местные, туристов от силы процентов десять-пятнадцать. Место рекомендую.

    Visited on a Tuesday evening. Service was great, food was delicious and filling. The endless view of the Indian Ocean was tranquil and mesmerizing. The view alone is worth a visit. We enjoyed the red snapper fish cakes, seafood platter for 2, and cheesecake for dessert. Also we had two rounds of drinks which weren't too weak or strong. The fish cakes were perfect. The platter was plentiful with prawns, shrimp, lobster, a whole fish, a fillet, and calamari. The cheesecake left more to be desired. The cheesecake tasted like straight cream cheese, without any sugar. Thankfully there was ice cream on the plate to balance it out. We would definitely return to try more dishes.

    Organised a surprise birthday dinner for my husband here in the Kaskazi lounge at Karambezi. We really enjoyed ourselves. The menu has improved a lot. The food is tasty & varied. The pricing is decent considering the location.

  • 2/5 Callum P. 2 years ago on Google
    The venue and the menu are both quite dated. It has the vibe you might find in the most popular restaurant in an oil town where the oil ran out 10 years ago. The service is painfully slow, the cocktails weren't that great and the food was entirely unremarkable when it did arrive. The position of the restaurant (right on the cliff edge) means that the view is really nice, though, particularly at sunset and the sea breeze is very welcome in the high temperatures. When I visited on Sunday they had a live band which was nice. I'd come here for a beer, but I wouldn't come for food and I wouldn't plan to hang around long. Other places nearby have similar sea views but a more lively ambience, more modern decor and better food (e.g. Cape Town Fish Market).

    Nice location. You can enjoy the ocean side dinner.

  • 5/5 Savvy D. 2 years ago on Google
    Several times being here, not once disappointed with the food and drinks. Though their service can be really slow sometimes, but I enjoy the product. The live band is always a nice entertainment in the evening. Also, if you have a birthday they can sing for you.

    Spectacular view of the ocean as it is right on the cliff. Staff is outstanding always smiling and very attentive. Ooh and they know how to celebrate birthdays 😂,its a whole vibe. Food was great and super fresh. Great selection of drinks at the bar. Highly recommend

    Halloumi burger with masala chips - ~25,000 Good portion, a great vegetarian burger option with the fried halloumi, caselaw, avo etc.. good, can be better with more sauces The masala chips were tasty too but would have preferred them crispier Great service with a nice view

  • 5/5 Daleen M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best EVER sea food platter. The fish, all food, are amazing. The atmosphere is just great, as you are seated on the cliff. Can hear the ocean and smell it. The service os super fast. This is a must visit and experience. Everything about it is great.

  • 4/5 Aidah M. 1 year ago on Google
    Great for large groups and seafood lovers. The food is fresh, flavorful and definitely a good value for the portion size. The seafood platter can serve more than four ppl depending on everyone’s appetite. Overall it’s worth a visit!

  • 1/5 Dolores L. 1 year ago on Google
    Worst experience ever! The lobsters were not fresh at all, we even found one gone bad!!!! And the pizza is plain and expensive, we ordered T-bone rare, but they delivered well-done and hard to chew!!! The resto doesn’t live up to 4.5 at all… don’t recommend 🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻‍♀️

    Visiting for dinner on Friday night, two of us were served tiny portions of dry, overcooked king fish (Tsh 45,500 each) and our colleague had rather rubbery calamari (Tsh 34,000). All were served with a small basket of tired chips and almost no veg or salad. When we complained, the gentleman who presented himself as the Duty Manager angrily defended the portion sizes as being "the correct weight" and refused to accept any reduction of the bill for the poor food quality or offer any kind of apology. We were regulars at Karambezi from 2010 until a couple of years ago, and the huge deterioration in both the kitchen and customer service are sad to see.

    3 of us have different choices but each one was delicious - well cooked and plentiful - waiter friendly - live music was good but a little loud for me but probably ok for the younger set.

  • 5/5 Jena I. 5 months ago on Google
    The steak and virgin mojito was ok, the meat was dry and the sauce was so little, so far the staff is really what has me coming back, the atmosphere is amazing.

    Karambezi Cafe, nestled within the esteemed Sea Cliff Hotel, is a culinary masterpiece. The ethereal atmosphere, impeccable service, and gastronomic delights paint a portrait of excellence. The waitstaff, akin to culinary maestros, orchestrate a symphony of satisfaction. Captivating band performances infuse the air with warm African tunes, leaving guests yearning for more. The only quibble, a modest waiting time on orders, underscores the meticulous preparation and dedication to culinary precision. In the grand tapestry of Karambezi Cafe, good things unfold with patience, offering an extraordinary dining experience.

    Had food here yesterday I'm not even a chef and I could of done something 10 times better. The food was cold plus it gave me food poisoning. I have a supposition that they done it intentionally as they kept looking over and sniggering. Thank GOD my girlfriend didn't eat hers. We asked to take away and they charged us for a bag also charged me to take out the food that I've already paid for. She then asked me to give a tip by my card but I paid cash and then she didn't ask me for a tip anymore. I wonder why? Food poisoning from fish is one of the worst food poisonings you can have. I know this as it killed my cousin. You want to watch who's cooking the food for the customer's as he/she could kill them.

    It is very nice having a meal with sea breeze blowing from calm ocean. The food taste is super and the view gives more its taste. Karambezi cafe is really exciting place to be with no doubt.
