The Terrace — Restaurant in Dar es-Salaam

Underwhelming. The food sounded great from the menu and other reviews, but it lacked flavor. The dishes underdelivered with one-dimensional flavors and poor textures.

The poutine cassava fries were undercooked. The mushrooms were unwisely seasoned with sugar. The curried cauliflower was overwhelmed with acid. On the tuna, we couldn't recognize flavors like sesame and coriander which were in its description. The couscous was dry.

I ordered a panna cotta, a sadness.....soft or rather liquid, inedible. However, the service was excellent, smiling waiters who worked professionally. Dear entrepreneur, as a colleague, I advise you to change the chef and the kitchen, or remove the Italian flag because as an Italian I assure you that you are only besmirching my country with...
