6. Level 8 at the Park Hyatt
$$ | |The Park Hyatt's Brasserie and Oriental restaurants are both equally fantastic, but by far the hotel's real gem is the spectacular rooftop bar, Level 8. Commanding views of both the city and the working port extend out on either side of the striking, sweeping architecture and high glass walls. There is an unpretentious menu of classical bar and lunch fare like grilled changu (fish) with chips, or delicious fried plantains and snack baskets of beer battered fish, vegetables, and spicy chicken wings. Throw in some live evening jazz and you have the perfect sunset escape that you would be hard-pressed to leave.

8. Mamboz Corner BBQ
$ | Kinondoni |Nearly every major African city has a local joint where you can mingle, chat, eat hearty grilled street food, and absorb the city life. Mamboz is just this kind of place for Dar es Salaam; they fire up their street-side barbecues as the evening light fades (they open at 6 pm). You name it, they can grill it and add in some flavorful Indian-influenced sauces. Their menu is hearty, well-priced, and as local as it comes. Its only drawback is that no alcohol is sold on-site, but with a vibrant street-side atmosphere it is the perfect place to watch the world go by.
Morongoro Rd. at Lybia St., Dar es Salaam, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania255-784-243--735Known For

Don't come in your flip-flops and safari khakis as this place calls for more refreshingly cool attire.
