Iâd heard a lot of positive hype about Smileys, but my four visits have found it to be just okay. The service is typically slow (as is standard in Arusha) and the food, while decent, isnât anything to write home about. The chicken shawarma is good (if not dry), the cordon Bleu is forgettable, and the BBQ platter is decent. Everything is just okay. Prices are fine for what it is, but I wouldnât go out of my way to have it again.

I've been here twice in 2 days. Sampling the heaped plates of authentic local food here is simply an ardous task. Waiters efficiently serve all types of well prepared complete meals, each plate is accompanied with a small salad and a bowl of vegetable relish plus a small piece of fruit. The menu is varied and pocket friendly.

French style cuisine with an African touch From breakfast with warm, oven crisp breads and freshly squeezed juices, to lunch with carefully selected brasserie dishes to the culinary feast for your taste buds at dinner: a five course gourmet experience acc
Reviewed By ParoleAnima
For the last 10 years, this restaurant has been named one of the top, if not THE top, eatery in Tanzania. That is saying a lot, given the number of very high-end lodge restaurants in the country. Machweo's ace is its Belgian-born chef, Axel Janssen, who trained in some of Europe's best three-star kitchens and knows his butchering and baking as well as presentation skills. The bread is excellent, the butter outstanding, amuse-bouches au point, soups delicious, vegetables always fresh and flavourful, and the wine selections appropriate to the French-accented dishes. No bargain, though; you will pay what this quality commands in an equivalent resto in France or Italy.

The food was ok, the staff is very friendly and is very cozy. The vegetarian dish was ok but the meat dish for my friend was very good ( as he said ). They have a very nice garden and is in a nice place of Arusha- maybe the only nice place.

Our group of five stayed two night prior to going on safari and one night on return. The surroundings were lush and beautiful, the accommodations clean and very comfortable. A big plus for Christina House is the staff--including Christina, Rose and everyone involved. All were friendly and very helpful. The food was delicious. If you are going to be in Arusha, look no farther for a place to stay! Highly recommended.

We stayed at the African Tulip hotel and ate several meals in this lovely and friendly restaurant. The food, geared to European/American taste, was very good and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The ambiance was great, too, with the artificial (but fairly realistic) Baobab tree in the center of everything.
