    have been here and tried a few items and honestly i was very satisfied and happy with the food. The panipuri was the best as the sauces were very much on point, so was the fillings. The masala dosa was very good. tried the all day thali also and it was yumyum 😍They have a wide selection of indian sweets in front of the entrance. You can make your own sweet box with your preferred sweets. has a clean toilet inside with proper hand soaps and sanitary items. Price is cheap for what they give you. Usually not too crowded. Clean restaurant, fast service and the staff are friendly. The lovely thing about this restaurant is the food taste is consistent, so no worries for being disappointed. Would highly recommend!

    Service was good, waitress was super friendly and made good recommendations on what to order and how to decipher the menu. Food was tasty and portions huge! Cleanliness could be better - the table has crumbs all over and my friend found parsley in her coffee but it was replaced quickly.

    Beautiful restaurant with delicious food and friendly service. Loved the yummy Thali and the Dosa. Located on the bustling and busy Temple Street. It’s the best place to eat for vegetarians in Daresalam.

    What little gem of a place. Fantastic service and the food is typical vegetarian but amazing taste. Offers are daily too. Thali is definitely worth a try. Dosa is tastyyyyyyyy.

  • 5/5 Michiel B. 3 years ago on Google
    Excellent food. Wide variety including things I have rarely or never seen, such as some Gujarati and Punjabi specialties. Bit of a mystery to me why this place - like many other Indian restaurants - feel the need to add run of the mill Chinese things to their menu. Or pasta? Nice staff. Atmosphere OK, bit cantine-like. Great place!

    Stopped in here for a dinner and ordered the "All Day Thali". The meal was served hot and delicious - definitely value for money. The quantity was just right and the quality was great too. Kudos to the chef. The servers were friendly and all smiles. Great place for vegetarians looking for a quick, delicious meal. By the end of dinner, we were already planning our next visit.

    Excellent food and really nice service. I had the bhel which tasted authentic, alongside the special thali and chai. The taste of all the dishes I had was delicious and the portion sizes were large. In addition the owner is a wonderful man who spent time explaining the menu options to us and helping us decide what to get. All in all a great experience!

    Taste is excellent, service is good, lovely decor and ambience, and prices are reasonable. But what sets it apart from the other Indian restaurants on Kisutu Street is the warmth, hospitality and helpfulness of the owner. Definitely recommended if anyone is in that part of Dar-es-salaam!

  • 5/5 Mythili I. 4 years ago on Google
    Super clean, well appointed restaurant in Dar Es Salaam. Had many vegetarian and vegan options, and a full selection of sweets (mithai) as well. Everything was great value for money and tasty, with the only downside being I couldn't help ordering too much and then couldn't finish everything. The thali in particular was a great value, with a good mix of items--I didn't get it, my companion did, and if I hadn't been full to bursting I would have taken some of that as well

    I’ve ordered through piki more than a few times and each time the food has been absolutely delicious. This makes me happy because I find here in Dar that most restaurants don’t have the same level of consistency when it comes to their food. I typically get the everyday thali and each time I’ve received something different and everything has been consistently good. I have no idea what I’m eating but I enjoy every single time. Not only is it filling, it’s flavorful with enough spice and portions are sized we’ll enough for me to have leftovers which I also love. I’m not a fan of the roti so I do end up getting naan if available. The one thing I can say negatively is at times the curries are cooked with a little bit too much oil for my personal liking but it’s not enough to stop me from ordering from here. I look forward dining in in the near future.

    Staff is really welcoming, and the food tastes amazing. Best indian food i have ever tasted, maybe better than the food I had in India itself. You can't pay with a card there.

  • 5/5 Nicole S. 8 months ago on Google
    Very tasty food and friendly staff. I had a spring dosa and it was delicious, well made, perfect for vegan and gluten free diets. The place inside is cozy, cute and tastefully decorated. Recommend for vegan, vegetarian, gluten free diets.

    The food was very tasty, the service was friendly. If you come to this city, it is definitely worth a visit, you can experience authentic Indian food.

  • 5/5 Emile A. 2 years ago on Google
    Very friendly wait staff, who literally explained what the best way to eat the Mysore masala dosa was. Great for vegetarians, didn't even think of meat for one second. Pani Puri was godly. I love how the staff has definite opinions about which dishes they like and go well together. For me, this was Indian food with a touch of Zanzibari fusion and certainly more creative and passionate than your average restaurant! I will definitely return every chance I get!

    (Translated by Google) We have ordered a thali for lunch here and every dish was super delicious. We even got extra roti. Would love to go back here again! They also sell bags of very tasty salty mix for drinks. (Original) We hebben hier een thali besteld voor lunch en elk gerecht was super lekker. We kregen zelfs nog extra roti. Zou hier graag nog eens terug gaan! Ze verkopen ook zakken met hele lekkere zoute mix voor bij de borrel.

    Unique cozy & cutest little spot has left the best impressions during my visit to Dar Es Salaam! Hospitable hosts ( made to feel Welcome always with smiling face ) Delicious & Yummy Dishes ( absolutely the best meal I had in Dar ), beautiful presentation I recommend to everyone!. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! I would like to come back here again and again. Although the indoor ambience is not so luxury but the appetizing menu will definitely overcome it. I had been to most of the Indian Restaurants in Kisutu street and around , but I would always endorse Chilli & Lime which is my all time favorite. Moreover Hosts are extremely knowledgeable, highly professional can make great recommendations. Highly recommended!
