The Waterfront
The Waterfront sits on the Indian Ocean in Dar es Salaam, serving seafood and wood-fired pizzas with a view of the water. The menu includes grilled kingfish, calamari rings, and a selection of pizzas from the oven. Families and groups are welcome, and the restaurant hosts live music performances on weekends.
Seafood is the focus — grilled prawns, octopus, and tuna steaks — alongside Tanzanian dishes like mbuzi choma, barbecued goat meat seasoned with Zanzibar spices. The wood-fired oven turns out pizzas with toppings like prosciutto, artichokes, and prawns. Desserts include tiramisu and panna cotta.
The restaurant overlooks the Indian Ocean, and the kitchen works with local fish and seafood. Live music plays on weekends, and the space accommodates families and larger groups. Reservations are recommended, especially for weekend evenings.
