10. Masai Cowboy
A bit(e) of Home Sweet Texas Home ... right here in Arusha, Tanzania. Drinks, bites, and treats like we do in Texas with a teeny Tanzanian twist. The only place in Arusha to get a big marbled RIBEYE STEAK!

I'm glad I took the opportunity to go to Masai cowboy. Man, i would've missed out on some great food, besides the food the atmosphere was so welcoming that walking in felt like the right thing. The service was great, the waiter and the owner of the restaurant were incredible. what I liked was the ribs and the conversation, honestly the atmosphere is so friendly that time just flew by and i'm definitely going back. What I didn't like though is I didn't have enough money to buy seconds #Foodlover.Mr_Tebbs, Thank you for giving Masai Cowboy a FIVE STAR review! We are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your meal and had a great time. We look forward to having you visit again soon! Karibuni sana!

Iâd heard a lot of positive hype about Smileys, but my four visits have found it to be just okay. The service is typically slow (as is standard in Arusha) and the food, while decent, isnât anything to write home about. The chicken shawarma is good (if not dry), the cordon Bleu is forgettable, and the BBQ platter is decent. Everything is just okay. Prices are fine for what it is, but I wouldnât go out of my way to have it again.
8. Lively Lady Bar & Grill

We have eaten here numerous times and always have the pork ribs, chopped into bite size pieces and they are juicy and full of flavour. The grilled chicken is a win every time and they KNOW how to make chips, plain or masala flavour. I've had the other pork dishes and have never been dissapointed, in fact I have never finished a meal it's so big. Lively Lady is an institution in Arusha and Palie and Minnie run a tight ship. The best music from the 60's, 70's and 80's and ABBA does seem to be a favourite, especially the retro videos. Live bands often fill the place and vibe is fantastic. They have an awesome selection of whiskies and other fine spirits and there will always be someone you know lurking at the bar or dancing up a storm who you can share a drink with.Open most nights till very late as there always time for just one more on the way home- CHEERS.
7. La Fiesta
Reviewed By Peter M
We were there for an evening party after a wedding. La Fiesta has a great atmosphere, lighting and enough space to have private functions without interfering with normal patrons. The food and drinks are fairly priced; won't break your budget. Highly recommended for people visiting Arusha.
