9. Alexandra's Restaurant
Reviewed By Ajay G
We had gone for dinner with friends and were terribly disappointed that most of items on the menu were not available. We requested for the manager and were told she is not around. So we asked for the chef to recommend alternatives. The chefs reply was 'I don't know what is in the menu. I only heat up ready made meals and serve". This was our first and last time to go to this restaurant after finding out we are being served pretty cooked meals and heated in a microwave

Delicious Pizzas, Delightful Tapas, Tasty Salads, Glorious Sangrias and our Refreshing Signature Gin &Tonics
Reviewed By Rocketeer2
The lunch time service is fairly slow. I waited 35 minutes for a few tapas and a garlic bread. The garden is nice enough but could do with a spruce-up. Not sure about the gift shop or its purpose. It seemed that all the tables were occupied which means they are doing something right. The pizzas are very good as is the tuna samosa style tapas.

A nice and relaxing place near Lake Manyara National Park where to stop and eat a delicious pizza, cooked in a wood fired oven.
Reviewed By tonylR3662JK
If you find yourself on the road between Arusha and Serengeti/Ngorongoro this is a good place to stop for a good meal. There are more than a dozen styles of pizza on the menu. They make them with thin crust. We ate here several nights running during a stay at the nearby Twiga Lodge and Campsite. I recommend dining in although you can arrange delivery too. Reasonably priced and very tasty. Place closes at 9pm.
