I really wanted to like this place.
The staff were attentive, the food was decent. I'm docking two stars because when I tried to pay by card, the manager insisted on billing me in USD instead of Tanzanian shillings and applied a conversion rate of 1USD = 2,200TZS. The going rate at that time was 1USD = 2,304TZS.
This works out to be a 4.5% penalty on top of the conversion fee charged by Visa.
This was not mentioned by the staff when I asked if I could pay by card before I sat down. It also wasn't stated anywhere on the menu. When I protested to the manager, he shrugged and said, 'If you come back again maybe I give you better rate'.
