    The place is decent, got helpful staff and even their food is great. Menu is very short & simple, everything is affordable. They have indoor sitting without AC and outdoor sitting as well. Very less options for vegetarians But the non vegetarians will love the place. Only 1 disappointed was the smoke of the chicken sekela coming in and making the place smoky. Need to have a exhaust for that smoke. The uncle is very helpful there, interacts with all customers.

    Absolutely appalling customer service from the owners wife. Finger wagging in our faces. One plate had dirty water on it, one glass was covered in dust and still had the luminarc sticker on it, and the cutlery was cloudy. Not planning to return. Check everything before eating there because cleanliness levels are really low. The owners should not own a restaurant if they cannot handle being customer service oriented.

    Barbecue House was like going back home after a long absence. They have done extensive renovations which have greatly improved the ambience. The food was delicious as usual but the servings have gotten smaller. And they've GOT to do something about their nans.

    The best bbq chicken and chips in Dar hands down! Always consistent and the most humble and friendliest owners!

    Amazing restaurant. It's a hidden gem! They open at night, I think 7pm. The owner is friendly and will remember you next time you come in. Red Snapper and Masala chips are the way to go!!!!

    I come back to Dar every few years and one thing that never changes is the quality of sekela chicken at Barbecue House. You should not miss it! Bonus: The owner always recongises me and is always a real gentleman.

    Very nice and decent place for a meal. They have a basic menu with not too many options. Taste is very good. We tried Sekela chicken, Mishkaki and Nundu. Fries were good too.

  • 5/5 Kamal S. 1 year ago on Google
    I called in for a pick up order. Ordered spicy chicken and mishkaki/nundu mix with masala chips. All the food was on point. The fries were spicy as expected, the salad was yummy, with their ukwaju just perfect. Would recommend for a quick yummy dinner.

  • 3/5 Murt H. 1 year ago on Google
    So I was invited to this place. Coming from USA I was thrilled to eat bbq chicken, meat etc. The service is not very fast. This place is super busy. We were a large party, so perhaps that’s the reason service was slow. However the fries came half cooked, they were not cooked to perfection. Also the waiter still didn’t know what was going on plates were missing we always have to ask for plates at least one per person. There are no napkins, and cutlery is very limited. The chicken came well done, but the meat was not done, we had to send it back to have it cooked well. The fish however was amazing.. 5 stars for it. But overall … the bbq was good .. but I’ve had better …
