Great steak dinner after a long 8 day climb of Kilimanjaro. The atmosphere was great, the food was delicious, and the staff was beyond friendly.

I will be here everytime i visit Arusha….Improve: ensure that there is always a waiter focusing on a given side. Getting a waiter to your table again after main order delievered might be a challenge.

Gluten Free and Vegan and so much more. Met at the entrance by both Maria the hostess and Peter our waiter we were offered an indoor or outdoor patio seating. Our driver instructed them to make sure a taxi was arranged for the end of the meal.Quickly seated by Peter in wonderful English conversation. We proceeded to go through a rather well developed menu. We decided to ask Peter about the pizza size and the telly amazing salad options for dinner. He assured us that we had ordered enough in the salad and loaded pizza. He suggested that the food proportions were large but if we still had room we could enjoy a lovely dessert. He was correct. We watched our pizza being built by hand and cooked in a wood stove. The salad came at the same time and so began a wonderful culinary experience. Maria checked in at each table to make sure everyone was happy. We certainly were. Met people at next table that return every year and thoroughly enjoy the food and ambiance every year.Our recommendation from Green Garden Hostel after our Kilimanjaro Summit hit the mark. Staff and service was sparkling wonderful. Food and proportions exceeded our expectations. We will return at least one more time prior to leaving.

Marie and Peter were our waiter and waitress and were absolutely lovely! They looked after us really well - they went above and beyond! Would recommend a visit, and will definitely come again! Thank you for a lovely evening!!

Super nice and cozy setting in a lush garden. The people were very friendly, Maria was our host and she was very nice. Tasty kebab tandoori and hamburger, would highly recommend!

Great restaurant. After a nice safari it was great to have a nice dining experience. Great food, lovely atmosphere. We had the greek & turkish dishes, but burgers & pizza also on the menu. Nice music, good lighting and all was very well cleaned.

We had a great time there. Went for our date dinner night and I must say the the atmosphere is very romantic. It’s a big space with lots of tables inside and outside. For cold evenings they bring the clay chimneys so you can still enjoy sitting out.The prices were fair. Margarita (15.000tzs/ $6.5) was delicious and quite big size (8 pieces) We also took Moussaka (21.000tzn / $9) which was not the best one I had but was tasty and came along with small salad and fries + local craft beers “Twga” (7000/ $3 per glass)The staff was attentive 👌🏼Nice surprise in Arusha,great experience.

Amazing place integrated in nature, outstanding owners, good staff, the menu is wide and the food is delicious (avoid shepherds pie if you are British though), wine menu is also very good. A must go in Arusha.

Really nice ambience in the heart of Arusha. Walkable distance from the clock tower roundabout.Slightly long wait for the food, perhaps because we came as a group of 9. The portions were huge, especially for the sides like mash potatoes and fries. The steaks and pizza were great, but we wished the waiters had told us about the huge portions earlier so that we wouldnt waste food.Generally great food and a comprehensive menu, just be aware of the large portions!

Let me say Ive ordered quite a but before putting this review up. At first the food was very good it was the best pizza Ive tried since I arrived however as of late the food has declined quite a bit Ive so very disappointed Im not sure whats going on but Ive been giving Georges a lot of my business and something needs to change quickly.

Food was good, but Western, not Tanzanian.A lot of western tourist, mostly wealthy, very western atmosphere.Service is great, quick, and again, the food is good.They have WiFi.Quite pricey for Tanzania.

Located at Uzunguni area (Haile se lassie road), providing a cool and calm surroundings. Nevertheless,the foods I had the chance to mange are very good so far, especially pizza; service also very good.Not crowdy and calm away from city noises. Good place for family outings.

The meals here are superb and a very helpful and pleasant waiting staff..more of a high end restaurant but the environment and meals make it worth the price..must try the make it yourself salad where you choose your salad ingredients and they come in crispy and fresh, pizza is on point and must have a fresh glass of juice..just refreshing.

We had an amazing dinner at Georges. Everything we ordered was incredibly delicious and the only problem is we could only fit so much. The place is nice and airy and the staff were very kind and welcoming. A great option for vegetarians. I definitely recommend the haloumi and baked feta for starters, and the vegan moussaka.

Review №31

5 of us dined here, not even one complaint. We all enjoyed the food - I ate the grilled salmon which surprisingly cost nearly as much as the beef steak (a very good thing in this part of the world). They serve very generous portions that come with a salad bowl, after the soup which is all part of the deal. Ordering wine by the half litre carafe, instead of just a glass, is very advisable.Edit: Came back 2 years later, the menu and the prices have changed, there was no soup but the portions are still very generous. Well, except for the salmon but that is in line with expectations...

My favourite place in Arusha! Every item on the menu is a gastronomical delight, leaning towards comfort food with flair. Special kudos to the giant salad, where you choose any ingredients from a giant list: order it, your vitamin deprivation will thank you. Amazing staff too!

We had 2 pizzas and the spinach lasagna. Although they are not the typical pizza and lasagna were used to from the US, the food is quite tasty. The wood oven made for a good crust. The service and ambience was also great.

My wife and I just visited Georges tonight. The setting was very quiet and calm with a canopy of trees and bushes to filter most of the traffic sounds/fumes. The food was great with lots of tasty vegetarian options. Our waiter Evance provided excellent service and was engaging in conversation. I would definitely dine here again!

Review №58

This was a pleasant experience in town, but relatively secluded and quiet. Clientele is almost exclusively ex-pats. We were a party of 8, 6 adults and 1 child, 1 adolescent there for Sunday lunch.Very eclectic menu with lots of variety. There was something for everyone—seafood, vegetarian, vegan, chicken, red meat. Several varieties of pizza with different sizes. Crust is more like New York thin crust, amount of sauce is less than what we Americans are accustomed to, but still was quite tasty. I ordered stir-fried chickpeas and vegetables which was very good. Portions were large and satisfactory, and I wound up overeating a little because the food was so good.I cannot comment on the Tavern part of the title since no one ordered any alcoholic drinks.There are some swings for small children to play on.The restrooms were clean and in good repair.The only thing I had concerns about was the slowness of arrival of the food. We were greeted as soon as we arrived. The initial attendant was quite quick and obtained our orders readily. Our beverages came quickly, But the food was slow to come even though it was not that complicated.I will definitely return to this restaurant again someday, but not if I am pressed for time.

Good location and ambiance but horrible food and food sizes. Food size and quality not justified by price. Apart from pizzas which my kids enjoyed, the bbq is horrible in all way. Drinks prices are overpriced too. The chef needs to re-think about the menu and sizes. I ordered pork ribs i ended eating something like bacon!

Review №65

This place was recommended a couple of times... The first time I went I hated the food. I thought maybe it was the dish I ordered. The second time wasnt any better. Maybe its just a personal opinion but I have eaten a lot better tasting food! The place is also quite crowded (being how popular it is!). The service is good though and staff are friendly and helpful which is quite rare for Tanzania

Its a good location for that Sunday afternoon feel. The staff are friendly and attentive, the vibe is good and the patrons are not too bad, even for a Friday and Saturday. You may occasionally get a couple of rowdy people, but overall its a good place to hang out and have a drink. You can try the food, we tried the Clamari, but unfortunately it was over cooked and the wings seemed to have been pre cooked and drenched with sauce.

A spacious and beautiful terrace and delicious food make Georges Tavern one of the best places to eat in Arusha.This is a cypriot restaurant where the staff is very friendly.

George Tavern is one of the best restaurant in Arusha, the food is good, pleasant place where you can relax and if you have kids they can swing in a safe area.
