RestoCafe — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

This Lebanese restaurant is one of the most prominent and eye-catching spots in the area thanks to its prime location. From the moment you arrive, you sense a vibrant energy balanced with tasteful presentation, creating an atmosphere that is somewhere between mid-range and upscale.

The food is the true highlight here. The shawarma, wrapped in thin, crispy bread, evokes the authentic taste of Lebanon — a perfect combination of texture and flavour that instantly transports you there. Beyond the Lebanese staples, the menu is surprisingly extensive. Diners can enjoy everything from pizzas and pastas to Swahili dishes, as well as fresh juices, smoothies and homemade ice cream. It’s rare to find such variety without compromising on quality, but this restaurant achieves it impressively.

One of the most memorable aspects of the visit was the service. A young waiter in particular stood out for his friendliness and welcoming manner, striking the right balance between attentiveness and casual charm. The entire staff contributed to the warm dining experience, and the option to pay by credit card added an extra level of convenience that is often lacking in similar establishments.

Considering the overall quality — from the food and service to the comfortable and well-maintained setting — the prices are very reasonable. It is not overly expensive and, in fact, offers good value for money.

In summary, this is a restaurant that succeeds in both culinary authenticity and broad appeal. Whether you're craving a taste of nostalgia for Lebanon or simply looking for a reliable place with a wide-ranging menu and excellent service, this restaurant is well worth a visit.

Shawarma #Dar es...

To say I am disappointed is an understatement. It was my first time and it was the WORST shawarma I have ever tested, it was TASTELESS, they couldn't even do salt properly. I mean who gets shawarma wrong? I am all about simple flavours but this shawarma had NONE as in NO FLAVOUR AT ALL. Don't get me started on the cheese nachos. I don't know who was bathing the nachos in oil but they succeeded, I could literally taste the oil I can almost tell the brand. The nachos were supposed to come with guacamole, I don't know if they forgot or if they decided I didn't need it, but I'm almost glad they did because I would have been more devastated if they did that wrong too.

NB: Someone had said it was dry like the Sahara desert. I concur, the wrap was too dry.

One thing for sure, I'll go back and see if they have anything better to redeem...

Resto Cafe in the Masaki area is a fantastic place to discover Lebanese cuisine. The hummus and kebabs were truly excellent. The dishes were fresh and delicious, and the presentation was meticulous. The restaurant's atmosphere is very warm and inviting. One of the highlights was the quick service; as someone who is obsessed with service times and times every meal with a stopwatch, they did not disappoint. Mahdi and Ali's hospitality further enhances the friendliness and quality of the restaurant. The staff were also very polite and attentive. Anyone looking to try Lebanese flavors in Tanzania should definitely visit. Highly...
