Five Chutneys - Arusha

Such delicious food and friendly service. I had the zanzibar mix and my partner had the “I am starving combo” both were absolutely fantastic and we really enjoyed our meal times, the mango pickles were especially delicious. on a small note, however, my partner is allergic to ground, no mention of eddies was made on the menu, and only to be sure that we even asked if it was. we were sure that there would not be any odours in our curries (nounces the fact that many of the courts actually contain a lot of odours), but unfortunately my court was full of odours. I think it was a wrong communication from a kind of sort therefore why I still stare 5. just wanted to put our experience out there so everyone can know with allergies

The place is something hidden in an empty hall, but has very nice Indian options and very friendly staff. they bring the food very fast, it is well seasoned and reasonably expensive. it's a safe choice.

Tucked away in a dark hallway, but once you’re inside and see the menu, your mouth starts watering!

Five Chutneys is a must visit. We went twice, once for takeaway, once for dine in. Really tasty food, quick service. We had a bhel puri twice, chhole bhaturey and pav bhaji, and a not so hungry twice. Different curry options both times. Definitely recommend! Updated from previous review on 2021-10-05

Tucked away inside what looks like an office building is Five Chutneys. A cozy Indian street food spot I know all vegetarian/vegan foodies will enjoy. If you love Pani Puri, Bhel Puri, Sev Puri, Samosa, Samosa chaat, Aloo Tikki, Aloo Chaat, Paratha, or Chloe Bhature then this is the spot for you. Five Chutneys offer the Indian street food experience in Africa. I was very impressed by the taste and authenticity of each dish. Having had street food in India, I had high expectations when I ordered. I expected the dishes to be somewhat African influenced since it is in Arusha, however to my surprise the owner and his wife kept every dish true to Indian street food standards. I am a big fan of Samosa Chaat and theirs was delicious. I asked them to leave the yogurt off #ThatsNotVegan and simply added coconut cream instead which was tasty. (Coconut cream sold separately! The stuffed paratha were a hit and the uttapam had so much flavor. The owner is so accommodating and his wife is an amazing chef. I was even able to buy some black salt and hing from them. The next time you are in Arusha, Tanzania you should definitely stop by Five Chutneys.
