EATING & DRINKING
Milan's
INDIAN $
(Mankinga St; meals Tsh3500-5000; lunch & dinner; ) This colourful all-vegetarian
spot is our favourite Indian restaurant, and not only because the prices are so low: it's really
delicious. There are also pizzas and a few Chinese choices.
Union Café

(Arusha Rd; meals Tsh4000-14,000; breakfast, lunch & dinner; ) A stylish and his-

pavement terrace is a nice place to linger.
The Coffee Shop
CAFE $
(Kilima St; meals Tsh2200-5000; breakfast, lunch & dinner Mon-Fri, breakfast & lunch
Sat) A laid-back vibe, garden seating, good coffee, small book exchange and an assortment
of home-made breads, cakes, yoghurt, breakfast and low-priced light meals. Proceeds go to
a church project.
Sikh Club
INDIAN $
(Ghala St; meals Tsh3500-Tsh7500; lunch & dinner Tue-Sun; ) There are fancier
choices outside the city centre (such as the well-known El Rancho in Shanty Town), but
ask most Indians in town where they eat out and the majority will direct you to this plastic-
