😐 I have been here so many times, the cow tongue soup is amazing! but the waiters always leave a bad impression about the establishment! every meal bill was incorrect, overpriced from 2000tzs to 10000tzs! every time you need to check the amount of the account, be careful!!! People often mention good, local, service, soup, time, buffet, Good,

    The buffet offers an easy way to get introduced to the local cuisine. They have options on it that also serve vegetarians. It's between 7000 to 10000 shillings for a plate depending on what you choose. They also have a grill haven't tried that yet. Overall service is good, staff are friendly and the food is tasty

    Nice place but quite expensive. It's cost me 80,000tzs. It's because I didn't look at the menu which you should, they will tell you all the food but not the price, stand firm and request the menu with a smile to make an informed choice about what you eat. Really nice food though. They accept card payments but I recommend cash.

    It gives me nostalgic memories! One of the old pubs that have weathered storms and withstood the test of time. I have known the pub for 2 decades and they have never disappointed me. Keep up the good work!

    Jackie’s is the best place to go for a hangover recovery on Sunday morning… I always get the beef tongue soup because they make it so well but the chicken soup is also so great. Love the service and the fresh juice too.

    We had the best morning after New year's night out with the whole family. Tried their best to accommodate 20+ people before opening time, it was fun and we enjoyed being there.

  • 1/5 Loise L. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there last Friday night.The service is terrible. Very slow. I ordered for Mbuzi choma and my food was served after 1hour cold!! I requested for it to be re-heated and it came back warm;borderline cold after 30mins. I requested again and it came back warm after another 20mins. When you request for sth like salt, it takes 15mins for the service person to locate the salt shaker. The beer was also not as cold. Not a good experience. Wouldnt recommend.
