Chowpatty Restaurant — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

My boyfriend and I were happy with the food. Then we were thinking about to get some dessert, it was not a must, but we thought maybe we can try the Gulab Jamin for 3.000 tsh 2 pieces. They said they think it's finished, but maybe they can get it. So they came and brought me 3 of them. I asked 3 not 2 for the same price 3.000 tsh, she said yes and nodded. Then when I received the bill it was 5.000 tsh for the dessert. I said that nobody told me that it will be 5.000 tsh instead of 3.000 tsh like mentioned in their menu, but they said it's 3 and we got it from the other restaurant. I was really angry, because they should have informed me about that, but nobody did. And still after I complained and I didn't want to pay the 5.000 tsh, it was their fault to not inform the customer, but they made me pay nevertheless. A totally no go to make someone pay more then different from your menu and not mentioning it. The food is good, but the service was for me a no go. We won't come...

I love the street this restaurant is located on, it's very charming and quaint. This was my first time eating Indian food and my expectations were high. The food was delicious, fresh and flavorful. It has taken me a long time to try Indian food because I don't like hot spicy food. I've always heard people say it was spicy. I was grateful that Chowpatty had a less spicy option of their dishes for me to try.

I loved the food but the service was a bit underwhelming. I came in with a party of 3 people, including myself. Upon entering 2 of us sat down and one walked away to the washroom. However, the waitress only brought 1 menu and placed it in front of the person who was not sitting there. Service wise that doesn't make sense. Instead, the waitress should have placed in front of the people who are waiting. I've over 20 years customer service experience and worked with JD Powers and Associates award winning companies. My standards of service are high. Please consider...

This place was average to be honest. Didn’t find the food ‘out of this world’. Firstly, all our food came cold to the table and I sent back the sambar three times to get it heated. The samosa also didn’t come with the thali, as written on the menu, and we had to ask twice for that. All curries were cold in the thali as well. The salted lassi was completely bland. They need to add jeera and mint. The only thing that tasted good was the watermelon juice. Ambience is also not the best and the bathrooms can really use a renovation. It was super hot inside as well- the ACs were on but the door was always open. My experience was alright- I wouldn’t eat here again mainly because of the cold and average tasting food. However, the waitress was really nice and apologetic, so I gave an extra...
