The place is cozy though not quiet. The striking colorful and playful interior would be the first you notice from outside.Theres a good selection of fun board games that can be played while waiting for your order to arrive.Food is good.. I, personally enjoy their sizzling chilli beef and sometimes sweet and spicy crispy chicken
Very colourful interior, this stands out from most places 😄Lots of board game options, great for groups/familiesThe food is consistently delicious, comes in large portions, doesnt take too long.Football matches are projected quite often so if you dont mind the background noise of cheering then its the perfect spot.**Highly recommend: honey glazed lemon chicken, mutton bhuna curry, frozen lemonade. The naan is also great.
Perfect place to hangout. I have been there multiple times. The Indian food is excellent. Good quality good quantity and a little expensive compare to other restaurants in town but worth it. Service is excellent. And will give an extra point for some games like Jenga and some card games. The only suggestion I would like to give them is to keep the volume little low when they have live music. We are sitting in a closed room and way to high volume is bit irritating. Otherwise, go visit the place and try it out yourself.
The food and attention to detail here is the best you will find in Dar es Salaam. The staff are lovely and attentive to your needs. Food is always served together, which is more important than most realise.They have such a variety from Indian, European to Chinese. And let me say they have talented chefs because they nail each one. Food here is awesome! Nice portions and beautiful flavour. The chefs here are very spectacular. Remember the Indians dont come with rice! So add it on, but the portions and flavours come very close to a beautiful Indian in India! Best indian food Ive had in Dar es salaam.Air conditioning is a bonus and lovely atmosphere.Try the lemon ice tea!
Really nice food of whatever I ever had there. Nice friendly staff and quick service. Overall nice ambience..I love the massive screen for watching live sporting event.
The food was excellent but the service was very slow, we had to keep repeating the order. The atmosphere is bright and modern, a good place for having a few drinks and a meal. It is also family friendly.
The concept of this restaurant is really great. Its a good place to meet friends for drinks and to play some board games. Its not intended to be a family restaurant. I went with my #Netball Team because we had just won the gold medal 🥇in our league!!!I THINK THEY WANT YOU TO BE TOO DRUNK TO NOTICE THE FOOD QUALITYThe food is mediocre but has a very high price tag. Do not come expecting great cuisine there is something from just about every region in the world. Which means they specialize in nothing. The menu is huge but the intention is for it to be a drinking place. The board games were even themed for drinking games so again do not expect for it to cater to kids. The decor seems out of place and clashing for example some of the lights had flower vines draped on them and the loud colored walls were done in an elementary style verses a sophisticated game room style. It was hard to find a place in the restaurant that was instagram picture worthy. The only dish we ate that was really good were the chicken tenders. The prawn biriyani was very flavorful but I wouldn’t say it was worth the price when we live Biriyani land. I’ve have better biriyani for a 1/4 of this price.Don’t come expecting great food but they have great service and you will enjoy your drinks. I would suggest that they shrink their menu and focus on executing a few dish that are mind blowing.
Best for football lovers (Soccer) with Big screen and beautiful interior design, you will definitely enjoy every single moment at hoppipola.Superb services worth every penny.
Had a good dining experience. Menu has a wide selection of foods to choose from. Van seat both in and outdoors. Service was okay.
My first time to be at this place after a friend recommended me.I must say,It is the best recommendation she did and I dont regret at all..The Chicken Lollipop were so delicious and when ordered with a side dish such as a mashed potatoes omg..The taste is amazing..I recommend this place for anyone I need on good food and classy place
Cozy atmosphere, good food but have to be careful about service.
I loved their interior design.... just wonderful ❤❤I didnt try their food but the virgin Mojito was on point 👏🏽👏🏽
The food is not up to the mark as we used to have before.. u should try & maintain the quality of the Food that was served in the start.. ( Just a suggestion) the prices r too high compared to other restaurants whch serve tasty food and portion is good. Otherwise the ambience is very nice.
I didnt mind the price. But when you price things like that and have a good ambience then the management needs to look into hiring good educated staff who know English and especially know how to listen. I was extremely disappointed with the service especially when you ask them to repeat the order and still they make mistakes after which they continued serving us a the coldest pizza I have ever seen because they were rectifying the order which said no capsicum so they started hand picking . This i can confirm because we could see the marks on the pizza of capsicums being picked out after the pizza was made. If they showed professionalism then they would have made a whole new one for us fresh and hot to maintain standards. Lastly the gravest mistake when i said o want to oau with credit card. I clearly said credit card he comes with the machine a guy I dont know takes my card does not confirm the figure with me and punches in the amount with my card in while I am telling him show me and put the machine on the table, seems my words were ignored completely. He took my credit card and started punching figures without confirming with me. Educate them that some credit cards dont ask for pins and a silly mistake in typing can lead to huge issues for customers. I just thought such a high end place would at least show some professionalism. One thing I should comment the paneer chilly dry was fresh and good. Its the customer service I was disappointed with and the family pizza. In this pandemic where we try our best to earn and want some time to relax so we go to eat out and end up being so stressed. I suggest going to a much simpler place would have been more relaxing.
Good food. Even as vegetarians, we enjoyed. But security of vehicles is pathetic. Our car’s fog lamps were stolen in front of the restaurant, though there were 3-4 securityguards. Response from restaurant was that it happens at times. Will think 10 times before going there.
Worst service Ever , I would not recommend any of my friends to go there.. ordered food and there was no much people, I had to wait for two hours and still my food was not ready ,and the worst thing was they kept on lying that it was on the way .. as I stood up and started to leave then they came with a plate begging ... hated it .
Absolutely love the food here. Been there a few times in the last few months, havent been disappointed yet. No play area but they have board games for bored kids.
Nice vibe, for a fun date night or a group of friends.Not really much to do for young children. They do have board games that older kids can enjoy.Good selection of music. Decent customer service. Fair pricing on their meal and drink options.My friends and I recently visited for game night. Two of us arrived sooner than the rest, thus we opted to wait before ordering. The waiters were impressively patient and didn’t make us feel awkward for not ordering.They were also quite helpful and diplomatic/polite while explaining that some tables had already picked the games we wanted to play but they had more that we could choose from. Plus points for friendly and polite customer service!We had the Family size Pizza. It was delicious! We did wish they offered some sort of chili sauce to go with it for extra spice lovers but overall it was great!Music hits the spot after 10pm. Before that it’s a nice family vibe.Quite pleased with my visit and looking forward to more visits.
Elegant Food Spot. Family and Friends. Wonderful experience
Absolutely super fine service food comes out really really fast after having a bad experience with a chinese restaurant calle the great wall we went to hoppipolla and they dint dissappoint at all.Fast servive excellent food alot of amazi g variety of drinks. definetly a place to go.
Great set up, massive screen, waiting staff fairly efficient
Staff need to learn hospitality... food is good, services can be better
Food was delicious. Great service. Nice place
Nice place to watch football..and having a small talks with friends
The food was very good! I dont know if the guy was the big boss or not, he was so unprofessional. He was arguing with one of the staff (a lady who welcomed us and took our orders) and fired her in front of us. He got uncomfortable when he noticed that we saw everything 👎
Decent Chinese menu and a very good ambience
I had an amazing experience with my Family,Good service,clean environment,cool place u would ever want to be @Hoppipola
After reading the reviews I decided to give this place a try and order takeout.I ordered a chicken Tikka pizza and I must say it was the worst thing I have tasted in a long long time. Not only that there was only miniscule pieces of chicken on top, I could actually count them 7 small tiny shreds of chicken and it tasted like it was out from the freezer and defrosted. Worst food experience I have had in Dar, wouldnt recommend to anyone
Good Food and good cocktails. Their DIY Cocktails are really great. Their Burnt Garlic Fried Rice is simply yummy
This place is an Englishmans dream - a huge screen for football and a great Indian food menu. Staff a lovely too. An all round nice place.
Poor service!!! Lack of team to even handle 2 table
Great place for football fans
It a cool place.. For a single, couples, family group or friends. They mostly into Indian and Chinese foods. Which they well twisted to make there own food signature.You want a new taste, new experience, just drop by to enjoy one of tasty food in town..
Food was good. Other food choices most probably would have been better.
Decent restaurant in Oyster bay to have a Indian meal. I enjoyed the food, service but sometimes the music is bit loud as locals usually celebrate birthdays at this place.
It was good and I enjoyed it alot
Surprisingly nice place.Great place to watch games. Big screen and all.
Such a chill place. Has a lot of places to take aesthetically pleasing photos. Got games to keeo you entertained while you wait for food or you chill. The DJ has a great mix playing while you eat. All in all, a great place
Friendly staff deserve these 2 stars. The Molten Lava Cake looked like it was coated with cheese, just opposite of a Lava cake. We waited so long just to return it.
Excellent place for a casual dinner, cozzy indeed. Coffee meeting, a personal workspace ...
This is among my top five places that I love hanging around in when in Dar. The games, the food and everything about it. The dumplings there are so sweet oh God, and the iced tea. No wonder I cant lose this weight 😃
Nice restaurant, clean environment. Excellent service and Food quality.Improvement needed on basic facility of washroom maintenance.
Good ambience with good food
The food was below average, chicken snitzel way to thin and burnt and sirloin steak asked for medium rare but was served burnt and tough- way over well done, peach iced tea was way too strong and half the glass was full of ice.
Can only vouch for the drinks as I havent ordered food here. Nice place to sit back and enjoy and drinks. Good selection and quick service.
One of our favourite joints, The food is always exceptional, fast and efficient service and a lively ambiance. lots of games board for kids & adults.
A fairly new, but great place. Just found about it. Played some live music on 2020 new years eve. Family friendly. Great customer services.
Although good restaurants but was not happy with sizzlers (differ person to person choice) part otherwise its awesome
Awesome taste ..excellent service.
Loved the food quality. Good service and staff but a bit of noisy environment caused by high volume speakers. Otherwise its fantastic.
Very nice services and delicious dishes.
Excellent veg and non veg dishes
Good food, big screen for watching football, wonderful ambience
Amazing food and very quick service! The reason why its not 5 stars is because the music was too loud
Convenient space for parking. Fantastic reception and the food is always on time. Great place to take your kids, and also a date.
Very nice food... clean area...very friendly staff and especially the drinks r really nice
Visited this place on a Tuesday morning. Was the only customer there left my phone on the table and it was gone when i went back for it. On checking the camera feeds they were old and not clear. Security is not so great.
We totally loved this place, great arrangement you take great photos here, their food was amazing plus the service is great. We definitely recommend Hoppipola for a great time.For more details we are on Instagram; @foodbloggers_tzThank you
Nice ambience, good food, got games to play, screens to watch matches, etc. But the seating is not that comfortable. Too loud music.
