There's a restaurant in Dar Es Salaam known as Holiday Out; It's across the street from the former Holiday Inn. You can read about it here: http://migrationology.com/?p=16474

So one day in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania, my taxi driver took me to a popular local Tanzanian food restaurant known as Holiday Out. They serve mainly local classic dishes like rice and fish, fried chicken, and the dish that I decided to eat today: ndizi na nyama.

Situated under a metal roof structure, everyday of lunch a host of office workers and passerby's all stop at Holiday Out for an extremely filling meal that won't break your bank. The first step is to go to the register and order whatever you want. The cashier then hands you a little token, which you then bring to the food counter where they dish out your meal on a huge metal plate and take your token.

I chose to eat a local Tanzanian food known as ndizi na nyama, or plantain bananas cooked in meat, this time with bits of beef mixed in. So I got a huge scoop of ndizi na nyama plus my platter came with a scoop of beans and a scoop of green vegetables on the side. The bananas are not sweet, they are more starchy and almost like a potato in texture and flavor. The sauce was mostly salty with a little tomatoey tinge, and the meat gave the bananas some good flavor, even though it was a bit on the chewy side.

I'm happy to report that Holiday Out not only has an awesome restaurant name, but it also serves some pretty decent Tanzanian food. When you're in Dar Es Salaam, Holiday Out is great local restaurant to eat at. Their fried mackerel with rice and beans and veggies is pretty wonderful too.

Price - 2,000 TZS ($1.20)

Holiday Out serves delicious Tanzanian food in a friendly environment. It's a great place to experience local cuisine when you're in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania!
