Babsalum Barbeque in Tanga is widely recognized for its delicious food, particularly the grilled chicken, prawns, and fish. Reviewers frequently describe the flavors as amazing and the menu as having a good variety of bites. However, a common theme across many reviews is the exceptionally slow and sometimes disorganized service. Guests often report waiting 40 minutes or more for their orders, even when the food appears ready. There are also mentions of orders being mixed up or given to later arrivals, suggesting a need for more competitive service standards. Despite these logistical frustrations, the creative layout of the venue and the quality of the barbeque keep locals and visitors coming back. Many suggest visiting earlier in the week to avoid the peak weekend rush.
