Levant Restaurant Masaki — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

This was my very first time visiting Dar es Salaam, and I have to say it left a wonderful impression on me, especially thanks to our dinner at Levant. From the moment we arrived, the restaurant gave off a warm and inviting atmosphere. The outdoor seating area in particular is beautifully set up — spacious, comfortable, and with just the right amount of lighting to create a relaxed yet lively mood. It immediately made us feel at ease and ready to enjoy the evening.

For food, we ordered a variety of dishes to share, and every single one exceeded expectations. The mixed grill was cooked perfectly, with juicy, flavorful meats that were well-seasoned without being overwhelming. The Greek salad was refreshing, crisp, and balanced — a perfect complement to the richness of the grilled meats. We also tried their soup, which turned out to be one of the hidden highlights of the meal; comforting, flavorful, and exactly the right temperature. Together, these dishes made for a well-rounded dinner that felt both hearty and elegant.

What really made the experience stand out was how consistent everything felt — the attentive staff, the timing of the service, the quality of the food, and the relaxed vibe of the outdoor setting. It’s rare to find a restaurant that delivers so smoothly on all these points, especially on a first visit to a new city. I would highly recommend Levant to anyone coming to Dar es Salaam, whether for business, travel, or simply to enjoy an excellent...

This is my second time here, the interior is pretty, outside as well, the fountain is beautiful BUT the customer service isn’t really top-notch. We were seated outside and we asked to be shifted in because it was dark for pictures, it was around 9pm and they had started sweeping and rearranging their tables - which I think was normal because a family had just left. We asked the waitress (who was super nice) if it was still ok to go in since we saw people had started cleaning and she assured us that it was ok. Getting in, we overheard two male waiters by the counter clicking their tongues and complaining so loudly as in why we were let in, it was so loud I’m sure they wanted us to hear that they weren’t happy and that made us really unwanted. Mind u, it was still open, so I honestly didn’t understand what the fuss was all about. Beforehand when we made reservations, my friend did mention about their customer service, but I guess some things don’t really change. The 3 stars is for the...

A great experience. Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed my food. As the meza we started with chicken shawarma hummus which was really tasty it also came with pita bread. I do wish they gave more pieces of pita bread for it as there were more than one person eating on the meza. At first glance it looked pretty small but a good size when you dug in. For my actual meal I had another meza, the shrimp something which was great!! That does not come with a carb which I feel it should but I ordered a side of white rice and it was really tasty. My partner had the grill wings which was okay, we feel the flavor could have been there a little bit more but the fries, flatbread, and garlic sauce made the meal come all together. For drinks we had the mango juice and lemonade which were really good. Our waitress was nice and attentive kept a smile on her face the entire time. Overall we loved our experience and I look forward to coming...
