Spices and Herbs is a great Ethiopian restaurant. The food was delicious - we ordered a chicken dish and a lentils dish with injera. The quantity was more than enough for two. The waitress, Veronica, was lovely and provided great service.
The environment is pretty chilled and relaxed. While it does have some Ethiopian decor lying around, such as the traditional serving baskets (Herob), but it isn't actually used in the serving (like done in the Ethiopian restaurants in Dar). I was also a little disappointed that they didn't have the Ethiopian honey wine either (Tej). They take card but have an added 3% charge.
But that doesn't take away the great food and environment there. Will definitely come again.

The food here is VERY TASTY! I wasn't so sure about pasta at an Ethiopian restaurant, but I ordered it anyway. I was pleasantly surprised at this flavorful dish. Eat here, you will not be disappointed!

While visiting a friend in Arusha she had a few of us meet here. We shared 2 mixed platters. 1 vegetarian and 1 meat. You pick 4 items for each platter. We also had 2 thermos’ full of 2 kinds of tea.
The food was fresh and amazing and the service was lovely.
I enjoyed the food so much that after my hike the next day I returned alone. The Spicy lentils and the split peas were delish! The atmosphere is also quite nice. Another added bonus was the fire pit.

I was at Spices and Herbs last month for 6days and it was my first time to be Tanzania but the really felt as if i was home. The dishes, the environment, the service all were on point. The staff were friendly and i pray next time I come to Arusha, I will still visit Spices and Herbs Ethiopian restaurant

Chicken Stew
Such good Ethiopian food! We had the lentils, spinach, cabbage, roasted peas and firfir. All were delicious. We stuffed ourselves and still had enough to bring some home. Highly recommend!
Wonderful restaurant! I came here with my family while visiting Tanzania and Arusha. The food is incredible. Loved every moment I spent here. Great service too.
