My friends and I came here to celebrate for his birthday. The restaurant has a large lounge bar. It is a very beautiful place. The service was great. The food was alright. We did have a great time. The place is nice, the vibe is top notch, DJ's knows how to keep the hype going and the service was okay although you have to wait a couple of minutes to be attended to but the overall place is nice. I love it 😍 Was in Aces Arusha over a KE holiday. Total vibes.

The place is so deserted, all tables marked as reserved and they were empty the whole night... the staff are so unprofessional... Wish there could be a 0 rating

It's a beautiful upscale place. With a great ambience and crown. Can get crowded too so expect to feel a little uncomfortable with movement. However, it is cozy and has a good vibe too.
