Quiet place, good music and lovely food. Good place to spend time with intimate others. You should try their Jerk chicken as well...it is a delicacy!

Came here on an afternoon where an event called Retox took place. Thoroughly enjoyed the setting of the place and its ideal Beach view. Good food from the kitchen as well, highly recommended 👌🏾

Went here for lunch and was mesmerized by the ocean views. The food is freshly prepared and definitely provides that well known, and respected, Jamaican flavour. Fresh fruit juices are available, as well as alcoholic beverages.The staff was polite and attentive. We will return to try more dishes. After we ate, we took a walk down Kawe beach.Velisas can also accommodate large parties.

Quiet and chill environment but comfy setup. Wide variety of choices for food and drink. Good for privacy if that’s what you’re going for. Nice beach with a beautiful view of the bay, and Dar skyline at night. Also went there on New Year’s and they had a bonfire, good music and view of all the fireworks happening in Dar.

No atmosphere, half of listing is not available. And when ordering one of the cocktails , asking in advance if they have all the ingredients and getting confirmation. Im served anything but what I ordered. The staff was sleeping on a table. Better vibes, food and drinks next door at mama Africa!

Location is great but a bit dated. Menu looks great but quite a lot was not available. We just had a drink which was freshly made so that was good. View is beautiful. Service is friendly after you wake them up. ;)

Superb seaside setting ...natural easy and pleasant. The freshness of this setting is in itself a winner. Jamaican music blending in with the rhythm of the gentle waves and soothing breeze. The variety of dishes on the menu offers honest flavours of Jamaican and Caribbean cuisine.

Some of the worse Jamaican food served cold and dry especially the beans and rice.

I absolutely LOVE the food here. It’s like a delicious home cooked meal, the veggies are so full of flavour, and the oxtail as well as chicken are just delicious.Service is slow, which kind of goes along with the whole really laid back feel of the place. There’s a beautiful sea breeze, and lots of shady trees.When the pool is clean, you can have a nice swim for about 10,000/=.Nice to sit out at a candle lit table for a date or group gathering, but beware of the incredibly hungry mosquitoes!

Nice quiet beach vibe, friendly staff, great cocktails... I enjoy an evening here regularly. The menu of starters is all good; the pumpkin corn cakes with spicy jerk shrimp are my favourite. Ive tried all the main dishes, too (except a few which they never have, like any restaurant in the country). I recommend the Jerk Chicken, Seafood Pasta, or Goat Curry. Only sad note tonight was finding out they dont have the apple bread pudding. Anyway, pick a cool breezy night and ask them to put a table out on the beach for you. Cheers!

Review №23

The food is really good, unique flavours, good portion, and the service is good. My caveat would be, the setup. It needs to be improved, better tables, more shade. The view.. well there isnt one. There is a wall blocking the ocean view, so you dont get to enjoy it, unless you go through a small door, thats It wouldve been nice if it was open so one can sit and enjoy the ocean.

Very chill place in Kawe, Dar es salaam. They serve Tasty Jamaican cuisine in a really beautiful ambience. Take a sip of made to order fresh juice or a fun cocktail as you feel a gentle breeze from the ocean and sway to reggae music. I love their jerk chicken best, but their chicken wings are also to die for. They serve a variety of delicacies like oxtail, curry goat, some sea food. I once hosted a dinner for some guests here and it was wonderful, everyone loved the food. They also have very friendly staff. The place is super chill....a self proclaimed honorary Jamaican embassy.. .a piece of Jamaica in Dar. I take all my friends here...it never disappoints.

Good food, however the service could be improved. The waiting time for food and drinks is very long. Finally, we got served the main course first and only after another 10min. the appetiser...
