The Uber did not trust me that its a good restaurant inside such small alley. First time ever I experienced Ethiopian food in traditional way - eating by hands - but i am not good enough with only 2 fingers. Both beef and mushrooms are good and you should come with friends as 1 serving is large.

The food was not bad, beautiful change from the normal. Quaint place for the nights only. Beautiful cultural setting of interiors for sure.

Food was decent but price was outrageous. I get this same food in the States for half the price. Price point around 60000 Tanzanian shillings

WHEN YOU ARRIVE: you dont realize that there is a restaurant... really you need to go through a narrow alley between two houses to reach the BEST Ethiopian restaurant in Dar. The owner and service are very friendly.It was a pleasant new experience to eat Ethiopian food with my hands! I recommend this place for those who are brave enough to try different type of food! Just be carful with the spicy sauce.... it is really spicy!

If you can get past the fact that this restaurant is located in a random ghetto in Masaki then youre in for a treat. Inside, the decor and ambiance captures the traditional Ethiopian mood and thr food is one of the best Ethiopian Ive ever had. I always recommend this place to people.

I ordered a modified vegetarian platter, this included spicy lentils, tomato salad and pumpkin leaves with injera (Ethiopian bread). No egg, no meat or fish. The food was good, but I thought the price of Tsh 25,000 was exorbitant for a single serving. Also, the restaurant itself is nice, but it is not in a “high rent” area; it is very local so I could not understand the justification for prices higher than what I have paid for a vegetarian platter in the United States.

The food was okay but the location is in a residential area and dirt roads. very secluded in the night. Would recommend the owners to restore to its former glory

What a memorable meal! Loved it. Owned and operated by an Ethiopian family. The food was tasty - we got the meal for 3 vege and non-vege dishes that fed 4 of us. Very reasonable $35 for 4 people incl. Beer, wine, coffee and soft drinks. Had the traditional Tej (honey wine) brewed by the owners - very nice. Coffee is roasted and brewed over coals, while you watch, fresh and delicious. Highly recommend!

Didnt seem like a restaurant at first, had to pass through a small alley. Once i entered the place, it was like wow, the place looked amazing and no nothing fancy, it was all cultural. The food was amazing too. P.s. my first time having ethopian dish.

Review №19

Very good food at cheap prices. A lot of artistic stuff representing the Ethiopian culture. I would recommend that every guest gets a narrative of the Ethiopian culture by the attendants to understand better why we see what we see at the restaurant and the food is in that modality

The food was amazing, but beyond the food the cordial service and the special informal attention we received made us feel at home, err actually our moms homes :-)

Review №34

Best Ethiopian food in Dar with a cultural feel to the atmosphere, and home cooked from mama 😊. Her injera is the only teff Ill eat. The food is comparable to Desta in the states and if you know about Desta you know the food is bomb. Plus the honey wine is a must try!

Review №35

One of two great Ethiopian restaurants in the city - Rohobot is on a muddy off-beat road and appears fairly downtrodden. But the food is good. Go with friends and pick a beef, chicken and seafood dish to go with the injera - you won’t be disappointed.

I loved it! Do not be afraid of crossing the little alley in the popular neighbourhood before arriving at this well decorated and impeccable place prepared so you can enjoy at maximum the tasty & fresh food. This is a family owned restaurant and the service is specially carring.

Review №43

Ethiopian food is almost always expensive i feel. Whether it be in America or here in Tanzania. What cannot be doubted though is that when its good, its bloody freaking good. Getting to Rohobot is a journey in itself, through awful roads. Its a no frill, traditional minimalist place. It really shouldnt be pricy. But it is. But i want to return because the food was that freaking good.

My favorite Ethiopian restaurant in Tanzania at the lowest price ever.Enter in a home-like place and enjoy the authentic taste of the freshly cooked food. It is located in the hearth of Msasani area, just next to where Wonder Workshop is.

As someone who loves (veg) Ethiopian/Eritrean food and having been to many different restaurants with this cuisine, this is the one with the best injera Ive had and they changed my mind about shiro which I previously didnt like at other restaurants. It was very tasty. Great prices, lovely people and love the authenticity including the mesob baskets which we dont get in London Habesha restaurants.

Review №57

Hands down best Ethiopian in Dar!Its a sweet, though a bit makeshift decor. But the star here is the food. We are big fans of Ethiopian food and know it well. Often when I come to a new restaurant I order shiro and doro wot, among others. Two basic dishes, it is easy do discern from those how much attention a place gives to its food. And at Rohobot those were lovely! Other classics are great too!I guarantee you, food is better than that other Ethiopian place in town :)

Today, I arrived in Dar Es Salaam on a solo trip, my first time in Dar and may first time to try Ethiopian food. I just felt compelled to visit this restaurant that had very good reviews. As my Uber drove down the bumpy dirt road, I must say I had my doubts, I walked through an ally and Teruwork, the owner kindly welcomed me. Before I knew it, I was enjoying one of the best meals ever. I adore Indian cuisine and take cooking lessons. This was better and yes I want a cooking lesson! Teruwork and her family were so kind, other guests arrived and seeing I was alone invited me to join them and we had such a beautiful evening. I will cherish this evening. This is a gem that you must enjoy.

Good experience of the tasty Ethiopian food and wine (Tej) in the heart of Dar Es Salam. Be prepared to eat traditional food with your hands as it is the traditional way of eating this. No worries soap and water are kindly offered by the host before and after the meal. Location easily accessed by Tuk Tuk taxi.
