Fifi´s Restaurant & Café is generally well-regarded for its tasty food and cozy environment in Arusha. Reviewers frequently praise the quality of the grilled steak and the brownies, which are often described as a highlight. The menu is diverse, offering a good introduction to local Tanzanian cuisine alongside international options like pizza. However, a common point of contention among guests is the slow service, with some reporting waits of up to 45 minutes for their meals. While the pizza received mixed reviews regarding the crust and cheese preparation, most diners find the experience worth the wait for the fresh quality of the food. It remains a popular choice for both large groups and solo travelers due to its convenient location and friendly staff.
