Excellent Mediterranean Food
My friends and I spent a few hours here during heavy rain. The food was excellent as was the service. We had starters and mains and enjoyed them all. We also ordered pizza from here to take away at a later date, which was also great.

When in Arusha, don’t miss a visit to this restaurant!
Dining at this restaurant was a great experience.we were there during the day and the ambiance was special- outside tables with blue checked tablecloths in lush vegetation. We were there with 2 other couples and a guide and all of our meals were delicious. The service is also top notch

Pork chops are 🔥
Decided to take myself to dinner and eat something other than the usual available fare — BBQ chicken, chips and beef skewers. I was very pleasantly surprised! Ordered the pork chops with a side salad & veggies - it was perfection. Chops were perfectly grilled and veggies were fresh and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommend!

Scam
On Christmas December 25th at 4:55pm. My husband, brother in law and I decided to visit George’s tavern,since I live in Greece obvious they wanted to try some Greek cuisines. We sat on the table at the blue eye. The service was good and the environment was pleasant. All was good until we asked the waiter to bring the bill. SHAMELESSLY he came to our table and said “The garlic bread is 18,000Tshs but the chef said you can pay 15,000/= cash separately because the receipt goes to the office. We were very surprised! My husband talked to him and explained how much this behavior can ruin the business. The waiter didn’t even bother to apologise, he collected the 10,000/= on the table and left. Then the cashier came and gave us the proper bill of 105,000/= we paid. I find this behaviour of the waiter very rude, disrespectful and disgusting , unless they don’t get paid enough so they’re looking for a way to make their extra money. This behaviour ruins the whole quality of services at the tavern, the behaviour destroys the image of your business.
