Mehboob's Barbecue is an excellent place for streetside "Indian" BBQ in Arusha. The staff were very friendly and regularly checked on us if everything was fine. We had ordered Lemon Chicken and Gajjar chicken, which were interesting adaptations of their Chicken Sekela. The lemon chicken had lemon sauce sprinkled on regular sekela, which was quite interesting. I've been used to eating lemon chicken being barbecued in its own unique yellow marinade in Dar es Salaam.

Really juicy meats, generous portions and friendly staff. This will be my go to place from now on for bbq. Food took about 30 minutes, we were ordering for five so not a small order to prep, but...
