21. Samaki Samaki
$ | Msasani Peninsula |With a name that translates literally to "Fish, Fish" in Swahili, it's not hard to guess what's on the menu. The fish, in all its varieties and forms, is wonderfully delicious and in generous portions. Expect a festive atmosphere with plenty of live music on the weekends; it shifts to more of a club space in the evening with the city's young and vibrant. There is a location downtown in the Diamonds Plaza, but the most popular is along the dusty dirt road near Oyster Bay.

- All things seafood, especially the changu (Tanzania's most popular eating fish)
- Well-priced happy hour specials
- Jovial weekend atmosphere
-
22. Shooters Grill
$$ | |A steak house and wine bar high atop Oyster Plaza where the near-constant night breeze cools down patrons indulging in a sundowner special. Arrive ready to enjoy some seriously well-cooked premium steak cuts along with the unbeatable views over the peninsula at sunset; weekends are for live music and wine tastings with food pairings.

23. Thai Kani
$ | Msasani Peninsula |Overlooking Slipway Beach, this may be the priciest Thai food in town, but Thai Kani still has a reputation for being tasty and deliciously authentic. The outside patio views, accompanied by one of their Champagne and sushi platter specials, is a very atmospheric way to while away the evening.
Yacht Club Rd., Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania255-764-160--378Known For
- Vibrant Thai-style salads

The eclectic and modern à la carte menu features dishes like grilled steaks with Swahili spices and Tanzania Chips Mayai (a French fry omelet) alongside fresh curries. With superb wine pairings and their famous coffee always available, this is a great evening out.

$ | Oyster Bay |What could be more refreshing and delicious than an iced coffee in the midst of the humid city? This unassuming cafe-style pit stop is the perfect spot for the weary traveler looking for something beyond burgers and buns as they serve up tasty, quick bites that mix distinct Tanzanian flavors with Mexican fusion foods and style-it-yourself burritos and tacos.

26. Travellers Cafe
$ | Stone Town |Locals and expats in the know have this as their go-to stop for a good, hearty meal with a cold beer and a charming atmosphere undisturbed by the tourist trail. Expect a full plate---burgers, grilled chicken, and chips---and a good beer at a decent price with an unassuming local atmosphere; this is not the place for cocktails and wine. This is where you untuck, kick back, have an icy cold beer (or two) and watch the Zanzibar beach life go by while chatting to friends.
Shangani St., Zanzibar, Zanzibar Urban/West, Tanzania255-774-506--618Known For
- Rustic comfort and charm
- Great vantage point for watching beach life at sunset
- Good service and good prices
-
27. Veranda Tapas Bar
$$ | |A multiethnic fusion restaurant in every sense of the word, Veranda serves up divine morsels—perfectly sized for sharing—that range from Indian to Asian to Swahili cuisine. The intimate courtyard is draped in bright bougainvillea and quirky decor decorates the space. It's not uncommon to spot the young and trendy crowded around tables filled with plates of dim sum, succulent chicken wings, and generously sized cocktails to wash it all down. A free side is included with every two orders of tapas.
Kahama Rd., Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania255-763-491--212Known For
- Perfect bite-size portions that don’t break the bank

28. Zanzibar Coffee House Cafe
$ | Stone Town |If there is one place to get a good cup of locally brewed African coffee it's the unassuming Zanzibar Coffee house, a sweet paradise tucked in amid the houses to the alleyways. There might not be any Wi-Fi in the back thanks to the thick walls common in a traditional Arabic house, but it is a cool and deliciously simple café. There are even some great keepsakes for sale. Head up the series of stairs to the charming rooftop coffeehouse for a more specialized coffee and snack experience.
Mkunazini St., Zanzibar, Zanzibar Urban/West, Tanzania255-24-223--9319Known For
- Coffee and cakes
- Lovely rooftop coffee experience
- A small, cozy space
