“Good, tasty food. Service where you don’t have to wait. A little bit too loud music, but there is a possibility to find a place out of the speakers' range.”

Visiting Dar es Salaam. Have eaten at multiple samaki samaki restaurants previously. Today, I wanted some fresh seafood before I dash to Uganda tomorrow. The waitress was helpful but she suggested getting king prawns over the regular shrimp. When my food came, I only had 1 King Prawn and all the other pieces were half the size?! When i made an inquiry, the waitress said the chef said the shrimp were 350 grams........ But when i order a King prawn dish that's doubles the price of regular prawns, I expect to receive KING PRAWNS and NOT BE SUBSTITUTED REGULAR SIZE SHRIMP! Very poor customer service that resulted in no assistance! You just feel CHEATED paying double the price for REGULAR SHRIMP!

This place is Happening, the food is delicious. We ordered a platter and I was amazed at the variety of choices in the platter. Indeed the lobster was missing, but if you are not a lobster lover you won’t notice it. I enjoyed every bite of it. The food was made to perfection. It was a Saturday night. The crowd and music got better with time. And by 12 midnight it was just a perfect atmosphere. I had a blast, the music surely made me dance eventually. Drinks were fancy and the decor of the place was amazing too. We were sitting in the VIP area, so it was not as hot as it would have been in the crown. Bring a mini fan with you if you need the air. I would urge them to have more fans or have an AC as Dar can get seriously hot at times in terms of the weather.

The quality of food remains the same throughout the years, fresh and tasty. The drinks are on the higher end but manageable given the location of the place in Dar.. But one thing i truly enjoy every time i come here is their karaoke session. Its not your average session, people go on stage prepared, channeling their best version of Adele, some Whitney even Eminem can be heard now and then.. Overall its such a fun experience. When it comes to staffs, they are very professional and friendly you do feel at home throughout the night. The place is very safe as well. On my personal taste, i wouldn't recommend going on weekends coz the place can be super crowded. Unless that's your thing.. My personal best days are Wednesdays (karaokee ofcoz) and maybe Thursday (ladies free)

This restaurant consistently reminds me of it being okay to be different. It’s got a local vibe wrapped up in a worldly feel. I don’t know how to explain. The best octopus mishkaki I have ever had was at Samaki Samaki, and their beef mishkaki does not disappoint. Their customer service is on point!! I haven’t been to their events, but they have a cool assortment of them too. I definitely recommend it!

Good, tasty food. Service where you don’t have to wait. A little bit too loud music, but there is a possibility to find a place out of the speakers' range.

Always a great experience and the food is so good. The atmosphere is nice... Good space as long as you find the space, always packed but great. Music is good, not too loud...
