PappaRoti Masaki — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

This is my second review on pappa rotti however with at least 6-7 times visit with friends.

I was surprised that on social media there was a boom on all fancy and great photos but the fact that service grade is decreasing.

My friend has ordered beef fillet with chips first but after while the waiter informed us there’s no chips ready. I have order fresh orange juice then be informed there’s no orange, then they referred me choosing passion fruit juice after while be informed again there’s no passion plz choose other so I picked avocado then again there’s no avocado I have to choose mango juice.

The espresso that I have the coffee cup was dirty with stain on the cup and plate that I have to tell barista plz change for me. The Greek salad I received was totally not the GREEK salad, the waiter saw me with confusing face then he invited the manager explained me they don’t have the cherry tomatoes and rocket veggies. Was surprised but had no choice right ? The cheese in their “geek salad” isn’t feta cheese it’s like cheddar cheese. The manager said “you know local market isn’t stable.” What’s that mean? The client would be more comfortable if you just apologized and told the truth that you didn’t prepare for these ingredients.

It’s a nice place for photos, the baked bun and a cup of papa milk tea. I am glad that the nice decor is providing a place for gathering but the food and service just don’t expect too much with the performance right now so far.

Positive thing is servers are friendly.

For foodie friend who’s looking for higher standard of service and food and beverage sincerely I recommend their neighbor cafe like epicdor/ levant / orchid cafe.

For this second review sincerely wish to give these comment and advise to visitors and owner.

There was a lot of hype about Papparoti here in Dar which made me try it out. The ambiance was nice, noisy for a cafe but not very bad. The seating was more than adequate with sets of tables and chairs indoors as well as outdoors. Also, it was very irritating to have so many flies around while eating.

I had their signature buns- Nutella Hazelnut and Cheese topped buns and a mochacino. The wait time of 45mins for basically just a bun topped with Nutella/cheese was a lot for my liking considering it wasn't too busy on the given day and there was a lot of staff at work.

UPDATE: they've worked on their preparation time and I got my food super quick on my next visit.

Taste was great but not extraordinary, I was also expecting a larger portion but wasn't too disappointed with what I got. As for the service, their staff were attentive and well presented.

Overall, I'd say Papparoti is well worth a try but I'm not sure if I'd visit...
