Top 10 hotels in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania

August 11, 2022 Concepcion Newsome

Nestled along a natural harbor on the Indian Ocean, Dar es Salaam is a multicultural city, home to African Tanzanians, Arabic and South Asian communities, British and German expatriates, Catholics, Lutherans and Muslims. This diversity in people is reflected in the culture: the city boasts international cuisine ranging from traditional Tanzanian barbecue and Zanzibari food to Thai, Chinese and American restaurants. Its vibrant music scene has witnessed a rise in Bongo Flava, a form of hip hop.

Just there for lunch but based on that alond i would come and stay

Reviewed By Lars D

as a chef by profession for the last three decades I am always on the hunt for great places to eat. I took a friend there for lunch and was not dissapointed. they have a buffet style restuarant on the second floor which is beautifully appointed and well laid out. the choices on the buffet were varied and plentiful. the starters and dessert section in particular were beautifully presented and it was a struggle to not want to taste just everything I saw. what i did choose was very tasty indeed. I met the exec chef who very clearly in is control of his kitchen and was doing the rounds on the buffet checking standards and chatting with guests. I also chatted with some of the kitchen trainees as they bustled about refilling the cleaning around the buffet stations. they all seemed so happy to be there and proud of thier work which is a sign of a happy kitchen brigade. Kudos to thier team. Based jut on this one lunch experience i intend to return to stay in the hotel itself. F&B service was profesional and friendly and very attentive. Security is tight which was nice to see.
