What a gem in Arusha! Fantastic atmosphere, beautiful garden vibe, solid food. Service was slow but we went later on a weeknight so who knows? Didn’t try the pizza yet so going back for that. Fantastic cocktails too. Absolutely delightful! The decoration is beautiful and the food is delicious. It is quite close to the Masai Market so it is perfect for when you are hungry after shopping. The staff is so lovely and the juices are incredible 🍍🍉🍋🍌 It was sooo good I went three times back! The place, the vibes, the food, the music!! Everything was soo perfect. If you are in Arusha and you don't go there? Than there's something wrong with you 😅
