What an exceptionally creative and high quality eating experience! We had the jerk chicken chapatti pockets and pineapple juice infused with anais and cinnamon. Scrumptious! It's hard to believe this is in Dar when it feels like it should be on a Zanzibar beach. We wish you success and continued food creativity!

Succulent, mouth watering, mind bending meals. I found what I ordered delicious, plus an attentive and generous host. If you’re looking for a large open space with views, this is not it. It’s cozy, homely and you get served with a smile.

Love this place! Colourful, quaint, unique. My favourite dishes were the Korean kitumbua slider and Kashata cake. All the main courses were equally flavourful, fresh and we'll presented. I highly recommend the sekela chicken and kisamvu ravioli. Honestly, I'd try every menu item if I could. You can tell the team puts a lot of effort into their craft. Board games, books to read, indoor and outdoor seating, WiFi! Something for everyone

They have amazing cakes, ubuyu cake was my favourite. I also tried kashata cake which was also delicious. I'm yet to try their food (will do soon) but it looks amazing from the pics and the story behind. Also great service.
