Where ancient spice routes meet modern culinary craft. A singular dining experience in Mikocheni.
Ember & Spice was born from a single obsession: honouring the ancient depth of Indian cuisine while reimagining it for contemporary palates. Nestled in Mikocheni, Dar es Salaam, our kitchen is a laboratory of flavour — slow-cooked curries kissed with coastal spices, tandoor-fired breads scented with truffle, and biryanis layered with a century of memory.
The dining room is an extension of the food itself — dark wood, candlelight, and the quiet warmth of embers. Come for a special evening. Stay for a love affair with spice.
Seasonal menus inspired by trade routes across the Indian Ocean.
Romantic candlelit spaces for dates, celebrations & gatherings.
Our clay oven has been breathing life into bread & meats for a decade.
Whole spices, heirloom grains & locally-sourced produce every day.
The Dum Biryani brought tears to my eyes. I’ve travelled across India and nothing has come close to what Ember & Spice creates right here in Dar. The ambience, the service, the aromas — every detail is deliberate and extraordinary. This is a restaurant that truly understands what dining means.
The Chicken Rara was unlike anything I’ve had — bold, complex, deeply satisfying. The candlelit setting made it the most romantic dinner we’ve shared in years.
I ordered the Garlic Cheese Naan as an afterthought and it became the highlight of my night. Perfectly charred, impossibly fluffy inside. I’ve been back three times just for that.
A world-class dining experience hidden in Mikocheni. The staff remembered my dietary restrictions from my first visit three months prior. That kind of attention is rare and irreplaceable.
