Good food and would recommend. The location is good if you fancy having a few beers before or after. Not a long review as not spectacular, but good enough to remember to give a review as having had a good time.

Longing for a spice sensation? this is the place where you get indian food cooked with everything traditional style. the staff are friendly, the food came quickly and the prices are ok. i would definately go back there for dinner. perfect for a big family outing.

A one time favourite restaurant has now taken a turn for the worse.... Poor service and food was a total disaster the barbeque platter was actually tasteless as the marinade lacked flavour and was just too bland. We had ordered two different type of curries but got the same gravy in both the dishes we ordered. Seemed like the gravy... More

Nice happy and friendly waiters. Reasonably good food, nothing very special but good tasty food. Nice and clean ambience. Recommended if you want to try Indian food in Dar es Salaam. They should try and make more Rabri, I went there twice and they were out of rabri both the times.

nice indian restaurant, reception and staff attitude is pleasant. the waiters know the menu and how to recommend (very rare around here), you don't take long to wait for the food. the big sitting hall is bit too spacious and looks empty (apart from the many tables), but sitting is comfortable with nice ambient music. i would recommend dishes no...

Nawabi Khana is awesome! There I said it. The location is prime time showtime! (Haile Salase, main road and dozens of bars next door to water down that spicy curry) The food is absolutely phenomenal and consistent. Butter Chicken, Mutton Roganjosh, Chicken Biryani: Yes THAT good, good enough for you to remember them foreign names. Why not the 5 star?... More

Good Indian meal served in a nice setting, makes a change from the normal Dhaba style food available everywhere. The food is rich so I wouldn't recommend making this your regular Indian fix as there are plenty of places you can pick up a good Indian meal at half the price. Another point to remember is to book as this... More
