 Fuel
your soul at Matongee
By Elisha Mayallah
Arusha has a myriad of nyama choma places tucked away in various corners
of the sprawling city. Some feature the most basic making it difficult
to tell the good from the bad. However, a clean environment spacious
seating area and so on is what makes a place a go area. This,
notwithstanding, the variety of meats - all contribute to making such
places classic and welcoming.
Matongee club in Arusha is just one of such classic places. The club
offers scores of residents, visitors and transiting visitors various
nyama choma choices, from goat to chicken served with varied condiments.
Samaki choma is also doing very well after its successful introduction
several months ago.
Visitors and transiting travellers prefer it for its quiet, leafy
environment that presents it a hearty bright look from a far. And the
big tick is its closeness to the Central Business District [CBD].
Nyama choma is usually served in large steel plates, which include
sizeable chunks of beef, goats, fish and chickens. The 'soup' meat that
has been on fire for hours is delicious starter to welcome the first
drink at Matongee. The club which accommodates close to 90 people offers
local food in their lunch menus, as this draws the-ever increasing
clientele craving for Ugali na samaki, among other menus.
Matongee club, managed by the famous person in town "Mr. Sombyo", is
continuing to enjoy hosting notable people in the region. The wildly
diverse clientele is what really makes Matongee club comes alive with
classic music played through a high-tech music system, which provides
fuel for the soul while enjoying nyama choma.
Experience and experience alone can only afford you a better
appreciation of Matongee club. It is an experience you won't easily
replicate elsewhere in the Arusha city and for that reason it is worth a
visit.
