Reviews For The Blue Heron Restaurant

There is something about the peace and quiet at Schwari/blue heron restaurant. It's got a beautiful view of the bypass and the greenery in between is very calming to just look at while sipping on some juice. If you visit and you are vegan, make sure to try their pesto vegan pizza. I'm definitely going back. Great service from the stuff.

Located in the outskirts of Arusha, The Blue Heron is the best place to get some rest and relaxation and spend quality time with family and loved ones, offering various sporting and gaming activities for one to enjoy with their loved ones, beautiful setting with indoor and outdoor choices with a beautiful scenery facing the famous Mt.MeruI had the pork ribs and fries which were beautifully seasoned and cooked to utter perfection, and the fries were perfectly crunchy. Service was swift and quick and meal waiting time wasn’t long, food is also reasonably priced but portion was small for my liking.

Great place to relax on a Sunday. Everything is well spaced out and you won’t feel crowded. There’s plenty of seating options, the view is also amazing and if your lucky, you get to see Meru and Kilimanjaro together. The food was excellent! We really enjoyed the pizza!

Awesome place outside of Arusha City not far from Arusha airport. Very serene atmosphere, incredibly fresh ingredients used and just an overall nice restaurant if you are in the area. Bonus is Mount MERU in the distance on clear days.

You want tradition? You want a place that makes you sit and wait awhile and forces you to have a conversation with one another as your pizza is cooked to perfection?. I had the best pizza of my life at that time. Since then I have visited this place numerous times and my opinion about this pizza has still not changed.
