Earths best Vegan Restaurant!

Catchy title I hope. Its 2026 and I have had the pleasure of eating here off and on for the last 6 months. This place is a shamanic portal into a green sanctuary at the heart of Arusha. If your a plants are better then fake meat type of Vegan then do yourself a favor and visit.

Pros: best in the world, lovely staff, location location location

Cons: nope, nope, nope

homemade, hygienic and cheap

I don't like leaving reviews, but this one needs a shout-out. It's in the middle of a garden (look for a sign that reads enjoy - easy to miss/get lost). Tasty vegan food juice/coffee for just TSH 6000.

Wonderful experience

Lovely little cafe in a forest by the river. You serve yourself out of pots: veg stew, brown rice, beans, spinach. In a garden with artists’ displays all around. Not too touristy either - when I was there, the only other clients were locals. BTW, it was open on Saturday when I went despite the description in Happy Cow.

Pros: Amazing location, Tasty food, Quiet

Cons: Seemed hygienic - but who knows?

A Tanzanian Gem

Arrived in Arusha and found this amazing vegan restaurant in an hidden oasis. Food was delicious and artists sell paintings there, I bought a few good price.

Really tasty, authentic food

I got lunch at the garden today and it was super delicious. The organic food is freshly made and you can eat as much as you want from the buffet. And when you are finished you can pay whatever you think would be appropriate.

Pros: All vegan, Nice staff, Beautiful location

Tasty food in peaceful environment

Cheap and tasty local food in a very peaceful garden, surrounded by local art. I didn't walk around for lack of time but apparently there is a short trail where you can see the stream and the jungle. Friendly staff even though I don't speak any Swahili - definitely recommend!

Pros: Cheap and tasty food, Friendly staff, Peaceful atmosphere

Highly Recommedable

It's in the city, but in middle of nature. A peaceful place to get some nice oxigen. The food was good, they served brown rice with vegetable stew, lentils, spinach and natural juice all together for 6'000 tzs. Highly recommendable.

Pros: surrounded by nature, very peaceful , good price

Local vegan food

This was a nice break from Indian food that I have been eating. Large portions for a local price.

Pros: Healthy meal with help yourself portions , Inexpensive. Fresh juice included., I would eat here again if I was staying longer.

Worth every penny

Very delicious food — self serve. I had a massive plate of rice, beans, mashed cassava, and plenty of vegetables for 5,000 tzs (approx 2 USD). Location is wonderful as it’s in the middle of a forest and there’s a stream nearby where you can take a stroll. An oasis in the midst of the hustle and bustle of Arusha.

Jungle in the city

Great vegan food in the middle of a jungle like park. You have no idea that you're in the middle of Arusha while eating here.

The food is good and it's self serve, so you won't leave hungry.
