One of the best restaurants at Sewa Street (Temple Road).Staffs are very cooperative apart from purely vegetarian food they also help to provide fasting food without salt like Sabudana Vada without Salt, French Fries without Salt, Dahi, Coconut Chutney without Salt, etc.They also provide Eggless Cake order for Birthdays and other events.For snacks and south Indian dishes everyday you can eat different dishes and it will take atleast 6 months to complete their Menu.They also have Chowpaty Special dishes made from their trained Chefs which you can must try their.

I had my late lunch at 3pm but the restaurant was still busy. The leftover in photo was what I did not really enjoy its tastes. I finished the rice and 2 chapati (Indian flat rounded-bread)with delicious beans-mixture/sauce/paste. The white one is yogurt and on its left was hot chili sauce (can compare with Thais spicy). Must come place for vegan.

Stayed less than 24h in Dar and came to eat here twice - for lunch and dinner. As a European I may not be the best judge on the quality of food but it was very good for my taste, large portions, no belly issues after. As the name speaks for itself - only vegetarian, but you will certainly not miss the meat. Polite owners, enquired if everything was all right with my meal.

I love the street this restaurant is located on, its very charming and quaint. This was my first time eating Indian food and my expectations were high. The food was delicious, fresh and flavorful. It has taken me a long time to try Indian food because I dont like hot spicy food. Ive always heard people say it was spicy. I was grateful that Chowpatty had a less spicy option of their dishes for me to try.I loved the food but the service was a bit underwhelming. I came in with a party of 3 people, including myself. Upon entering 2 of us sat down and one walked away to the washroom. However, the waitress only brought 1 menu and placed it in front of the person who was not sitting there. Service wise that doesnt make sense. Instead, the waitress should have placed in front of the people who are waiting. Ive over 20 years customer service experience and worked with JD Powers and Associates award winning companies. My standards of service are high. Please consider some training.

Would not recommend for a family dinner as the service is very poor because they don’t know how to manage a group consisting more than 5 people. And the staff, including the manager is very rude and impolite. The entire restaurant was loud and noisy yet the manager came to us and told us to keep our volume low (as if the whole place was not louder than the fish market🙄 itself) Their food taste too has drastically dropped after earning that popularity among the vegetarian options.Lastly, the washrooms didn’t have water services and hygiene level was zero.

Review №13

My boyfriend and I were happy with the food. Then we were thinking about to get some dessert, it was not a must, but we thought maybe we can try the Gulab Jamin for 3.000 tsh 2 pieces. They said they think its finished, but maybe they can get it. So they came and brought me 3 of them. I asked 3 not 2 for the same price 3.000 tsh, she said yes and nodded. Then when I received the bill it was 5.000 tsh for the dessert. I said that nobody told me that it will be 5.000 tsh instead of 3.000 tsh like mentioned in their menu, but they said its 3 and we got it from the other restaurant. I was really angry, because they should have informed me about that, but nobody did. And still after I complained and I didnt want to pay the 5.000 tsh, it was their fault to not inform the customer, but they made me pay nevertheless. A totally no go to make someone pay more then different from your menu and not mentioning it. The food is good, but the service was for me a no go. We wont come back for sure!!

I ordered a few dishes for delivery via PIKI. I am so impressed with the food quality, the taste and the reasonable pricing! My family and I ate like royalty tonight and we couldn’t have been happier.We ordered Paneer Makhanwala, extra naans, thali and other stuff. It was placed properly into containers, arrived while still hot and just so well prepared.Thank you for an amazing meal tonight folks!

Great food. 1 star less as the waiters and the cook do not listen to orders properly. If you ordered cheese masala dosa, you would get garlic dosa instead. At times they forget you had ordered something till you remind them. Otherwise great food and ambience

Expensive in relation to what you get for some courses. Others you get way more! Really weird. The garlic paneer was quite tasteless and lame, and also just game with one piece of bread.

If you are looking for a meal in the Little Hindustan section of Dar es Salaam, Chowpatty seems to be the most popular restaurant in the area.

Review №57

Had masala dosa today. I felt there wasnt enough of the filling as opposed to what I usually get at Chowpatty but it was still tasty. I often have dahi Puri which is awesome. They have thick and creamy sweet lassi and a great sweet lime soda too. A great vegetarian restaurant and the manager/owner always comes and asks how everything is, his dedication is fantastic and he takes feedback like a champ. Next time Ill try the thali, looked awesome, like a mini buffet!

Well, It being outside India, this is one of the few places in the city where you can get authentic Indian food. The taste is not like a 100% Indian but its actually not bad. The food is over all tasty, the service is good. The staff is friendly. Had a good experience. Recommended.

One Of The Finest Indian Vegetarian Restaurants One Can Find In Dar Es Salaam is Chowpatty One Must Not Miss The Single Chance their service is dynamic and food quality is outstanding.

Review №92

The Chowpatty thali is good value for money. However, the south indian thali could be significantly improved. All other items in the menu are great! The owner takes care to welcome new visitors and I saw that he welcomed repeat visitors or frequent customers as well. When there were non-Indians, he took the time to explain the options in the menu. Service is the best! This place is always full of people and so turnover is high. I know my food will always be cooked well.
