    This restaurant was recommended for local dishes and their names were in Swahili so I don't know the translation except for the bananas and lots of fishes. They have Wi-Fi so it's a great place to eat and check your next stop on Google Maps. I had fried fish but it was not very tasty. The rice dishes and ugali seemed very popular.

    Their food portions are sizeable and affordable, same for the meat and drink. The waitress tried her best to be helpful and nice. I only wish they could be more hygienic, there were too many fliers around the fruit juice makers. I enjoyed my meal all the same.

    I loved the food at this restaurant, although I recognised the food in the glass display cases, I can't say I knew the names of the dishes. I love finding local African restaurants, and this was certainly one of them....as it's always a good sign for me to see places busy with local people. There was a good choice of different types of fish, including fresh tuna and king fish, as well as goat - I went for the vegetable rice, stew beans and goat meat (wrapped in tinfoil, which turned out to be a delicious, and very meaty, goat leg). Although obviously not high cuisine, for me this is infinitely better, substantial, incredibly tasty, satisfying and served in a truly local joint. Came to around Β£16 for two.

    An accomodating place, friendly service and a good chocie of food. From Swahili, Indian to a Greek salad. I had a lovely veggie biryani with lots of fresh vegetables and well spiced.

    City square restaurant is among the best restaurant in town especially around Posta. Food is affordable and very delicious. Fast services made me give it 5 stars and the staff are very clean, calm and helpful. In summary, customer service here is very great. OMG, i almost forgot the favourite part of the story. While i was waiting for my lunch, i was enjoying their free wifi (catsnet). I will surely come here next time.

    Was tired of eating at a hotel where I am staying at. Took a stroll in the evening and happened to come across this. Enjoyed my meal of pumpkin, soup and spicy barbecued chicken. Simple but delicious. Waitress that served us was friendly which made the dining experience pleasant

    Too pricey. There was one time when we didn't like the food at all. However, most of the time the food is good but the prices are too high

  • 5/5 Guillaume D. 9 months ago on Google β€’ 24 reviews
    We were there for breakfast and the food was delicious, quite cheap, and the waitress was really nice. They have a really large menu so I would recommend it for lunch and dinner as well.

  • 5/5 Ian W. 1 year ago on Google
    My favourite spot in downtown Dar. Good food, great coffee and the best staff. Even arranging a taxi for me. Service beyond expectation.

  • 5/5 IRENE S. 1 year ago on Google
    The place has good services with affordable prices. I came here on a quest to eat Swahili food; Biryani to be precise. I did eat the Biryani but it wasn't what I expected. The food is buffet, meaning, love and spices were missing πŸ˜…. Nonetheless, I enjoyed the location within the city centre and the expresso shake.
