Definitely one of a kind.....the only place in Dar where you can get any octopus/kalamari food item you can imagine.....Octopus burrito anyone? How about Kalamari makange? I was delightfully surprised by the creativity of the chef/owners of the cafe. They bring the decades-old tradition of eating 'Pweza' out of street corners to a posh and cozy environment. Will definitely go back.
