    Located in masaki area. has a great ambience, nice sitting arrangement, has a few options available actually (however you like; on a couch, a dining table or chilling outside etc). Food and drinks are expensive especially wine bottles. Calm and chill music. Good for evening hangout or if you want a nice date. Great service and has clean bathroom in the side. haven't tried the food but tried the hamu cocktail and moscow mule. Would recommend.

    Hamu in kiswahili means appetite and desire.. Its not just an ordinary restaurant, its a combination of italian culture and the tanzanian ocean homemade dishes. It offers the best "Drinking Bistro"

    Visited this place for the first time, it had nice service and I enjoyed the food very much. I had a half roast chicken cooked in rosemary and Mediterranean herbs (of which am not a fan of) and roast potatoes while my friend had chicken lemon breasts and roast potatoes. They have good wine as well as mojitos (but if you order mojito, you better clarify if you want non-alcoholic or alcoholic one). The food was up to standard and the enough for one person plus it is at reasonable price. The ambiance of the place is cool and it has interior setting and exterior setting. Set at Haile Selassie Rd, it is unmissable. For those who crave restaurants which are cool and extravagant, this is the place they should go! Their service is good and your order gets on your table for not longer than 20mins

    Hamu restaurant is serene with good ambience and my friends and I enjoyed dinner there last Saturday night around 8pm. It was our first time there and they told us there's a band that plays on Sundays, so we'll be looking to going back on a Sunday for the band music. We loved our starters, cocktails and mocktails. One of us ordered steak as the mains which turned out quite tough unfortunately and had to be returned to the kitchen. The chef cordially requested her to order something else and she was happy with the replacement meal. We loved how they handled this with no wahalla at all. Kudos. All other meals were good and the tuna & orange salad I ordered was excellent ๐Ÿ˜‹. It was not full/crowded when we went which was a plus, given the pandemic.

    The ambiance of the Restaurant is surely one of the better in DAR. Lovely stylish place with good friendly service. Some interesting dishes but the menu is also a bit old fashioned. A mix of fresher and modern prepared dishes would do the place good and make a real food eatery. The Cocktails where all good. Where again the Aperol Spritz was missing the Spritz but Gin Tonic and Piรฑa Colada looked very nice and was well done. We where four people and pity not the drinks and not the food was being served at the same time. The starters Veggie Tempura nice and crispy, don't buy a sweet an sour sauce, make something interesting that would make the dish better. The shrimps very tasty and real fun to eat. The babaganoush... It was an aubergine mash with tomato crostini now as a dish it was nice and we all enjoyed. My problem is that if you call it babaganoush then there is a certain expectation of this dish and that was not fulfilled. Again the dish was a such very tasty and nice, but name it differently so people don't order something that they will not get. The Mains all ok, but also to be honest nothing special. Basic. I had the chicken marsala and tasty but had a chicken marsala in Zanzibar that was much tastier and much more aromas... They where just ok. I believe this place has so much more potential and have the feeling that some years ago a chef has put the Menu and when he left it was kept and no new influences have come in and they have been deteriorated slowly to become more and more basic. The desserts.... Some of the best I have eaten in DAR and very nice presented. One feedback, make the Tiramisu a bit less sweet and a bit more espresso in it and it would be amazing.

    Nice place, nice workers and possibly good food but the vegetarian tagliatelle I ordered and ate was not good. Pasta was over cooked and there were no capers and def no white wine was used to making the sauce. The bread sticks were fantastic, chocolate brownies were really good too.

    Food is ok, waitresses are a little odd though. They stood near my table and watched me eat while talking and laughing in their own language. Then they would look at my table again, make a remark and then burst out laughing. Totally unprofessional.

    We are still on Valentine's week โค๏ธโค๏ธ love is in the aiiiir ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ Tell us where did you spend your Valentine's date? Or you still hoping to spend it over the weekend? If you do please share with us your experience! Back to it, this Valentine's date was @hamurestaurant It's their food I'm talking about today ๐Ÿ˜‚ because what's a proper date without good food? ๐Ÿฅ˜ ๐Ÿ“ŒOn the Menu: Fillet Diane ( beef fillet disks were flavored with rosemary, roasted veg, and black pepper sauce) served with French fries๐ŸŸ. ๐Ÿ“ŒSee the beef fillets ๐Ÿคค๐Ÿ˜‹ melt-in-your-mouth tender piece of steak. The meat is very fine-grained in texture as well as low in fat, which makes it both buttery and mild in flavor. ๐Ÿ“ŒFries were properly frenching ๐ŸŸ๐ŸŸ the black pepper sauce ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿฝ on point! ๐Ÿท : Peefectly served is that Red wine is what you should choose to go with a steak. It's easy to remember โ€“ red meat gets red wine. But I always do the opposite ๐ŸŒš๐Ÿ˜ don't mind me...... I went for Frontera, Chardonnay slide to see ๐Ÿ˜ and it wasn't that bad at all! ๐Ÿ’ฐ; Food prices range from 25K - 78K and wine served per glass ranges between 9K - 14K!! If you still haven't Valentined this week ๐Ÿ˜‚ well when you decide to we would recommend @hamurestaurant Follow us on Instagram for more engagement: @restautantreview_tz
