    Starting with your waiters, at least loved the way they had the attention of the customers around. The food & service was very quick. & good. The dishes were amazing, being it to Vegetarian & even the non veg dishes. The vegetarian sushi was very good. Also the ambience looked calm & chill. But it was a bit expensive, cannot be a regular customer for that price. But it's worth the amount! But dint like the fishy smell all over the place. Should do something about it.

    The food was average, I can't say it was authentic Thai to be honest but it least it was flavourful. The cheesecake was disappointing but it is very hard to find very good desserts in Dar. I will have to try the sushi next time, maybe that would be better than the Thai.

    I’ve been here a few times and even ordered delivery on the PikiPiki app. The Thai food here is AMAZING. The Pad Thai and Pad See Ew are excellent. I wouldn’t go here just for the sushi, as it is pretty bland. The Moscow mule is great and the ambience is worth a visit.

    Enjoyed the Pad Thai very much and fried rice. The California Sushi Rolls tasted kind of bland. We enjoyed the outdoor seating that overlooked the beautiful bay. We will be coming back again

    This restaurant is located in one of Dar's nicest beach fronts and it's quite popular with the locals in the evenings. But the dishes did not impress me, especially the miso tofu soup which was very blunt. The prices are rather expensive, compared to less touristic areas of the city.

    A fantastic authentic Thai restaurant which offers great Sushi aswell. The view is stunning, the food is really and the staff really friendly. You can the people here love that their doing and do it with passion. Probably one the best place to see the sun set in Dar es Salam. It’s must visit place and the surrounding area is beautiful aswell.

    Was unable to go due to work so l had a takeaway delivered by work colleagues. Thai chicken green curry (spicy) tasted great, lots of chicken, spicy Thai flavours, and incase l needed it hotter a tub of spicy hot chillies for me to add, delicious. All that was missing was a great venue and sea view, but its the taste that counts.

    Great mojitos! The atmosphere is beautiful and very relaxing. Service is a bit slow especially the wait for food when it's busy. But waiters are overall very attentive and helpful. Highly recommend the stir fried fish with mango. The Pad Thai and Pad-see-ew are very good. Maki rolls had a bit too much rice for my liking, but the sushi flavours are brilliant. Pricing is moderate to expensive, but comparable to other places in the area.

    Had lunch there again today say outdoors with clear sea view, great Thai food and a cold beer. Went there for Thai food which was good but the sushi dishes also looked very good so next time l will try those. As you can see from the photos l dived straight in and forgot to take photos.

    The best pad Thai you will find in Dar es Salaam. This place has a nice vibe combined with live performances over the weekends. Totally obsessed with this place. The staff makes it all the more welcoming!

    Well situated at the Slipway, great view of the ocean. Nice staff. Great Thai food, I’d especially suggest the spicy tuna with crispy rice sushi, my favorite thing on the menu together with the chicken coconut soup.

    Do not go here for the craft beers! Horrible service on beer. We ordered an IPA for 9000 and it came warm in a 250ml glass! When weentioned to the waiter that the beer was cold, he said he would get another one. However, what he did was just to put some ice in it for a while then take it out. The beer tasted horrible after being diluted with ice.

    Great place, u make ur own atmosphere and enjoy ur food&drinks.. stopped for a cake, mockatail and beer, cake amazing, beer amazing. But, on pricelist there is no mention that draft beer is 0,2?? Never saw this in my life. Then when asked big one, they charged double price and still got 0,4 of a beer for 14.000tzs. This should be mentioned on pricelist or by waiter. Untill that detail everything was ok, but now cant go back as it is last time going there sorry

  • 3/5 Jhuno P. 1 year ago on Google
    The food is great. You can really have the taste of a thai delicacy. On the other hand about customer service, I think the waiters/waitresses needs more training. They have to listen carefully about what's the customers' order; as much as possible reconfirm before placing the order to avoid mistake. Also, I find it displeasing to take out the plates when the customers are still eating despite the plate is empty or not. They can do so, but I suggest to ask the customers first if they're done or not before taking it out. It's quite unprofessional!

  • 4/5 Najum 1 year ago on Google
    Sushi - was great, did not hold up too well though and the rice wasn’t as sticky as I would have liked but otherwise delicious Chicken fried rice - was just okay, nothing memorable Masala tea - was more milky, if you prefer more tea in your tea then this is not for you Generally on the expensive side. You are guaranteed a spectacular view of the ocean and sunset Their service is just okay, its a busy place so understandable Sushi - 35,000 Fried rice - 25,000 or 28,000 i think Chai - 6000 i think

  • 5/5 Chris 4 months ago on Google
    I ate here twice during a visit to Dar , because the red curry chicken was really good. Can’t comment on other dishes because I had the red curry again the second time. Service is excellent. They also have craft beer, which is more expensive than the big brands but worth it.

  • 5/5 Stephanie M. 3 years ago on Google
    LOVE IT! It has become my favorite restaurant in Dar! Every time I come the food is delicious! The Sushi is the best I’ve had in a long time, the Pad Thai is so tasty and the fish has exactly the right amount of spices! Waiters are super nice and really quick and the cocktails are excellent though not expensive. Win-win! First class restaurant! Not to forget, location is tip top too right by the water.

  • 2/5 Valentina G. 2 months ago on Google • 5 reviews New
    Other than the food and that the view is amazing for the sunset. You can’t eat, there is flies that swarm your food while you are eating. When you tell the waitress to give you a table fan, they give it to someone else and then try to say that they didn’t. A fly literally got into my drink. The manager tried to fix it after 15mins and talking to both the waitress and the manager. Horrible service and atmosphere is packed with flies. There is favoritism, they can place a fly herb to chase away the flies but they won’t do it for you. Absolutely rude staff.

    I’ve learnt to write and read reviews! Two great people always make our experience great at this place. The manager Chris and Francis offer service with such great care. The food is delicious and the portions are satisfactory. The band that plays on Friday is great as well. Having that so many places in Dar have great music and food, the service and kindness of the manager and his team make this a venue of choice every Friday. Thanks and Kudos to them

  • 5/5 Pappias S. 3 years ago on Google
    The food is extremely good, and you will get served by the most enthusiastic waiters. One of the most amazing thing about the location is the whole family and home-like feeling, you feel settled and ready to have fun with all the services the restaurant has to offer. I definitely recommend it for couples and families and in our case a friends reunion. You will get more than you ask for; For sure, check this place out and enjoy.

    (Translated by Google) Very good place and very nice atmosphere, fast, coordinated and adequate attention, we went to eat some sushi and a green crab curry, the dishes are abundant, the pieces of sushi already happened to us in another restaurant in Tanzania, they are a bit bigger than normal, I imagine it must be a cultural issue that people complained that they were small if not, I do not understand the sashimi was literally the size of a small filet, the nigiris very tasty as well as the makis, the curry very, very tasty with a good amount of crab parts and some very beautiful tools to eat it, it has a tasty craft beer but very expensive for a half pint of what they serve. (Original) Muy buen lugar y ambiente muy lindo, atención rápida, coordinada y adecuada, fuimos a comer un poco de sushi y un curry verde de cangrejo, los platos son abundantes, las piezas de sushi ya nos pasó en otro restaurante en Tanzania, son un poco más grandes de lo normal, me imagino que debe ser un tema cultural que la gente se quejaba de que eran pequeñas si no, no lo entiendo el sashimi era literalmente del tamaño de un filet chico, los nigiris muy sabrosos al igual que los makis, el curry muy pero muy sabroso con una buena cantidad de partes de cangrejo y unas herramientas muy bellas para comerlo, tiene una cerveza tirada artesanal sabrosa pero muy cara para ser media pinta lo que sirven.

    Very deceiving Specials deal written on the chalkboard outside... makes it look like 3 course meal is 40,000....So after ordering the deal and wondering where the other 2 courses are we were told “Starter is 40,000,Main is 38,000 and dessert is 15,000.....Stay away from this scam restaurant.

    Gosh didn’t take pictures but when I expect my own food which is Japanese, I cannot give five stars. Some sashimi is too hard to chew like there are so many strings, the rice is too much sticky that you can’t separate the sashimi and rice with chopsticks... And bento is not bento! I mean things inside in bento are too boring and half of them are cucumbers lol. Customer service is not that impressive as well. Waiters are too far just standing while we need their service.

    The Manager there tends to treat POC with disdain and elects to favor white patrons more. Avoid going at all cost unless you endorse such behavior. There are plenty of other restaurants in the area with much better service and the same views. Have an awesome whole same day.
