Spices and Herbs Ethiopian Restaurant and lodge

Food was delicious as ever. We ordered a combo meet platter for two and enjoyed some Ethiopian coffee by the fire afterward. Service was generally okay, but the waiters seemed a bit annoyed when we ordered. We are return customers for over 4 years and recommend it to Ethiopian food lovers and those interested to try!

This is the right place to eat Ethiopian food. I was in Arusha for leisure for the period of 1 week with my family. Everyday we eat here my home food, the owner and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Can't forget of their Gracious hospitality.the food tasting delicious like our home. Miss it keep it up the good Work 🙏 🙏 🙏

Spices and Herbs is a great Ethiopian restaurant. The food was delicious - we ordered a chicken dish and a lentils dish with injera. The quantity was more than enough for two. The waitress, Veronica, was lovely and provided great service. The environment is pretty chilled and relaxed. While it does have some Ethiopian decor lying around, such as the traditional serving baskets (Herob), but it isn't actually used in the serving (like done in the Ethiopian restaurants in Dar). I was also a little disappointed that they didn't have the Ethiopian honey wine either (Tej). They take card but have an added 3% charge. But that doesn't take away the great food and environment there. Will definitely come again.

Such good Ethiopian food! We had the lentils, spinach, cabbage, roasted peas and firfir. All were delicious. We stuffed ourselves and still had enough to bring some home. Highly recommend!

Go for Ethiopian meal here you won’t be disappointed.

While visiting a friend in Arusha she had a few of us meet here. We shared 2 mixed platters. 1 vegetarian and 1 meat. You pick 4 items for each platter. We also had 2 thermos’ full of 2 kinds of tea. The food was fresh and amazing and the service was lovely. I enjoyed the food so much that after my hike the next day I returned alone. The Spicy lentils and the split peas were delish! The atmosphere is also quite nice. Another added bonus was the fire pit.

From service to food to rooms, this hotel is just a gem in Arusha. We come every year. The food is scrumptious. The Ethiopian menu is amazing. Kudos to the chef! Delicious. Breakfast is perfect and the special Spiced Coffee was a treat. Rooms are spacious. Quiet and with all comforts. The Garden views from the restaurants are really gorgeous. And the staff go out of there way to help us every year. Thanks Sara & the team :) We are very happy to have found this place.
