The Best Tanzanian Food I Have Ever Eaten at Grace Shop
For incredible home cooked Tanzanian food in Dar Es Salaam, you should go to Grace Shop. Details here
While I was in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, I was able to eat at quite a few local restaurants, some of them good, while others weren't the best. On one of my last days in the city, I got tipped by a friend to eat at a small local restaurants known simply as Grace Shop. It wasn't even much of a restaurant, but more of a small kiosk located in the spread out neighborhood of Oysterbay, just barely onto the Peninsula. I normally would never come to this area looking for good Tanzanian food as it's sort of an expat area, but I sure was surprised this time.
So Grace Shop is a located in a Pepsi painted little kiosk, and at first when I walked up, I didn't even known if I had come to the right place - one reason was because I saw a bunch of wedding gowns in the store window. But I peeked my head inside, and sure enough, there were tables set up and the food was about to be ready to be served. Who would have known that a wedding gown rental store could serve such good Tanzanian food? The restaurant is pretty small, housing only a few tables on the inside and a couple of tables outside. For the lighting, I chose to sit outside and enjoy the cool outdoor breeze, with what would soon by one of the best Tanzanian food meals I've ever enjoyed in my life.
When we arrived, the food wasn't quite ready for lunch, I my anticipation grew as we waited. It didn't take more than a few minutes before I noticed a wheelbarrow pulling up to the back of the restaurant. This was something new for me... being served out of a wheelbarrow - and Tanzanian street food! The food is actually cooked in the house behind Grace Shop, and then it's transported to the little restaurants front to be sold. When the food was ready, it was all unloaded into the back little kitchen room and ready to be served. Everyday for lunch, there are numerous Tanzanian food dishes all laid out and you can pick and choose whatever looks the best. I wanted to eat everything, but of course I had to make up my mind and pick a few things.
I began this Tanzanian food meal with a big scoop of beef pilau, which was rice cooked with huge chunks of beef and oil. Then I chose a deep fried salted fish. From there, the servers piled on all the side dishes like vegetables and beans and sauces, and all sorts of other delicious items. My plate of Tanzanian food was colorful and smelled so amazing I could hardly wait. It was definitely one of the best, if not the best Tanzanian food, home-cooked, meal I've ever had in my life. Everything was spiced and salted to perfection. The rice was oily and had a hint of cinnamon, the fish was salty and crispy, the beans were hearty, and the fresh veggies were fresh and full of flavor. Even the chili was banging hot! Sometimes Tanzanian food can be good, and other times not so good, but this was one of the best Tanzanian food lunches I've ever eaten!
How to get to Grace Shop, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania:
Grace Shop is located in the Oyster Bay part of Dar Es Salaam, just behind the Kenya High Commission. From Ali Hassan Mwinyi, turn onto Kaunda Drive, make your first left (it's Bongoyo Road), and Grace Shop is about 200 meters up the road on your right hand side.
Open hours -- Eat there for lunch, food should be ready around noon
Price -- 5,000 TZS ($3) for my monster plate of food that included both beef and fish, other plates can cost just 3,000 TZS ($1.82)

Arusha is a typical small, dusty Sub-Saharan African town and that is part of its charm. Set at the foot of Mount Meru, it has bustling markets next to old, rather delapidated colonial buildings interspersed with more modern shops, all set on pot-holed roads filled with hooting taxis (daladala) and crazy drivers. It's hard not to feel the beat of Africa here.
First settled in the 1830's by the Maasai people, the town was conquered by the Germans in the early 1900's, who built the fort (Boma) which still stands. The British took the town during WW1 and it remained in their hands until independence was granted to the then Tanganyika in 1961. In July 2006, Arusha was declared a city by Tanzania. This chequered past adds to the mixture of architecture and culture still found here.
in the middle of Arusha, is the Clock Tower circle. Built in the 1950's, urban legend has it that this is the central meeting point for tourists and locals.
Getting Around
Speak to the Tanzania Tourist Board in Boma Road, or your hosts, to get a feel of where to go for safaris and where to avoid.
Fifi's Restaurant , Themi Road
They offer local and organic fare with wi-fi access, close to the centre of Arusha. Watch out for their quiz nights - a great way to meet people! They coffee is amazing
Mount Meru Hotel
The best for happyhours drink they have a bar and they happy hour extends upto 10p.m. You're guaranteed to find something to nibble on, though, their menu is enormous and covers a wide range of international delicacies – Mexican, Chinese, Burgers, steaks, fish ... you name it, they've got it.they hotel is a five star hotel. Delicious food with an outdoor bar and seating in a beautiful garden, this place offers regular happy hour , live music and a great place to hang out – eating, drinking, and being merry.
Drinking & Dancing, Arusha-Style
Pubs, clubs, live music and dancing: the nightlife in Arusha offers something to suit everybody. (though I must be honest their music was quit off the djs weren't bringing their game online and I expected alot of bongo music but nah they didn't play aki Diamond Platnumz song ????????????????
Gettin' Cultural & Goin' Shoppin'
Maasai Market Curios and crafts is the way to go for souvenirs and gifts to take home to remind you of your safari experience at a very affordable price.

Cassava is a woody root vegetable shaped like a sweet potatoe. But looks more like a piece of wood. They are toxic if eaten raw so must be cooked correctly. Crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside. So this is what they have usually for breakfast, the locals. So its one of the most drought tolerent crops in the world. Apparently its got a lot of starch in it. But you do need the salt and the sauce and salad And you eat with your hands here. Salad is spicy. Its like a relish with chili, cucumber Cabbage Good breakfast. Its very filling Ive just had one, and I'm full. And look at the view, amazing. So the breakfast is good (laughs) You cant beat that. its good ha
Maandazi is a bit like a doughnut actualy its nice. But not as sweet as a donut.
Cassava fried Crisps . So these are basically home made crisps Made from cassava, deep fried. They are nice because they are fresh. Taste a lot better than the ones you buy in the shop You know the crisps in the packet And you have them with salt or pili pili chili. So looks like Im goin to my second location wherever I can find any more swahili food.
Ugali is a maize flour porrage. Common in africa. The flour is usually cooked in water or occationly milk. Its a bit hot though. You roll it into a ball It can be a delicious, cheap alternative to mash patatoes.
Zanzibar Mix is very bright yellow. I never had this before. Its good. So they pu a lot in there. Mishkaki, cassava, eggs, some herbs. chilli, onion and some I think some red beans in there. crispy bits of either patatoes or cassava. Theres at least two eggs in here. Boiled eggs. I think its a varied version where every you get it from. Lime in it. Its a bit tangy as well. And its quite thick as well its not like thin. This is one of the famous streets foods of Dar Es Salaam and Zanzibar. Its probably the best street food I've had in Tanzania since I've been here.
BBQ is the standard street food in Dar Es Salaam BBQ everywhere, chicken, beef, fish. Food in the video includes Chips Mayai, Mishkaki and Changui fish.

Nyama Choma: Tanzanian Roasted Goat - African Street Food!
Nyama choma, roasted meat, is one of the most beloved things to eat in East Africa. Read more deliciousness here:
Every Time I arrive back to East Africa, which is usually Kenya or Tanzania, it doesn't take long for me to get the craving for some proper nyama choma. Nyama choma means roasted meat, and you can usually order beef, chicken, or the most common meat: goat (also known as mbuzi choma Kiswahili). Though I ate plenty of nyama choma in Kenya during my growing up years, this video, and my most recent article and experiences are from Tanzania, in the Dar Es Salaam area.
On one lazy Sunday afternoon, we decided to hit-up one of the truly local style nyama choma joints in the outskirts of town. This restaurant is actually not really a restaurant at all, but it's literally just someone's home who opens up their yard as a communal meat devouring and relaxing place. Every Sunday, they decide to hold goat roasts, or nyama choma feasts. There's a pen with live goats in the yard, and when there are enough customers, they slaughter one of the goats, and hang the fresh meat in the butchery. When customer begin to arrive, they select the chunks of meat that they wish to partake of, and the butcher will then slice it right off the goat carcass and throw it onto the grill. Eating nyama choma is a culture of its own. Most of the customers are men, and they go to a nyama choma restaurant with their friends to relax, normally drink plenty of beer, and chow down on free range and freshly cooked meat.
So I arrived on Sunday afternoon, my mouth already watering to get a taste of that roasted goat, the smoke pouring over the entire yard in meaty goodness. We chose a 1 kilo section of meat off the goat leg and the butcher chopped it ferociously with his machete and threw it on the grill with nothing more than a handful of salt and MSG. Don't expect your nyama choma, or any other food you order in East Africa, to come quickly. Eating nyama choma is more of a leisure experience; You sit around and wait for 1 or 2 hours until the meat is finished cooking. Our meat took about 1.5 hours or so, until it was done through and through.
When your nyama choma is finished cooking, the butcher then grabs his big knife, places your hunk of meat on a chopping board, and slices through the goat meat like it's butter. He cuts it all up into bite sized pieces, puts it on a plate, and it's served with little more than a pile of salt on the side of the plate, some chili peppers, and lemon wedges on the side. Nyama choma is one of the great East African dining experiences. The goat meat is definitely on the chewy side, but you can just taste that incredible natural and free range flavor from the meat. I'm a huge fan of East African nyama choma!
