-6.826613, 37.668381 This restaurant in the centre of Morogoro, with few local eateries outside hotels, is run by Indians and has everything to offer. It is an air-conditioned restaurant established and descended from the New Green Restaurant: Chinese, Italian and Indian dishes and attracts customers from all directions and the place fills up quickly. Outside next to the BBQ full of chicken, the daily specials are on the chalkboard. There is also a full bar and a huge screen above the bar for sports games. They also deliver. No free Wi-Fi reception.

In June 2024, we ordered Indian Paneer Hariali of cubes of paneer marinated in mint, coriander & chillies and grilled in a tandoori oven (12.000). The paneer was presented in an unusual way, not in a curry. The cooked rice was delicious, the paneer was well grilled, but the sauce did not make it an Indian dish. Just tasty, but not delicious. The service was acceptable, but not personal.

People definitely don’t come here for the service. Walked in and seated ourselves, waited 20 minutes before anyone came to the table even after making eye contact and waving at the lady manager. She asked another waiter where a different waiter was and that was it. No one came to take our order nor did the manager come to check why we were waving at her. The inside is small so when you talk everyone can hear, especially with only 6 people in the restaurant. Finally ordered and the food took 40 minutes. Food was great! We had the mutton curry and szechuan black pepper chicken with naan and rice. Very generous portions and food tasted fresh. When we finished our meal a group of 10-12 Indian men arrived and were immediately served; curries, rice, naan, appetizers and teas. We then understood why our food...
