What you can expect

Meet your guide at the entrance of Golden Tulip Hotel City Centre. If you’ve booked the pickup & drop-off option, your guide will meet you in your hotel lobby.

Discover the true taste of Dar es Salaam on this guided 10-tasting food tour through its lively streets and markets. Experience the city’s blend of African, Indian, and Arabic influences as your local guide takes you to the best hidden food spots loved by locals.

Enjoy 10 authentic tastings that capture the city’s diverse food culture. Try mishkaki, charcoal-grilled meat skewers marinated in local spices, and grilled banana, a simple yet iconic Tanzanian street snack.

Savour ajam bread, soft bread with subtle Indian-Arab inspiration, and sugarcane juice, freshly pressed and naturally sweet. Sample Zanzibari mix, Dar’s favourite spicy street-food soup, and mandazi, fluffy fried dough with a hint of coconut.

Refresh with coconut water, served straight from the shell, and taste gajjar chicken, flavourful spiced grilled chicken. Indulge in cassata ice cream, a colourful local dessert from Zanzibar heritage, and sweet paan, a delightful aromatic leaf filled with sweet condiments, the perfect finale to cleanse your palate.

Between tastings, stroll through historic streets, see everyday life, and hear stories that connect each dish to Dar’s rich multicultural history. Your guide will also share tips on where to find the best food markets and local specialities for your stay.
