Arusha

An exclusively vegetarian Indian restaurant (run by real Hindu Indians) that's a welcome change from the usual resto-grills. Typical dishes, fresh, full of color and a variety of vegetables, all at a low price - a good deal. The originality of the specialties on offer is such that we're surprised, as we're not used to these truly typical Indian dishes. You can try the five delicious chutney sauces to spice up your dishes. There are also local pizzas and practical sandwiches to take along on day trips.

Don't go looking for haute cuisine at this new restaurant, but we do come here for the very Tanzanian ambience of the place. At weekends, concerts are often held on the open-air terrace. During the day, the space is really nice. A la carte: grilled meats and a vegetarian menu. Fresh fruit juices are served at all hours. The plates are hearty, the atmosphere popular and the music quite loud. A good place to go out in the evening.
