Food in Morogoro


Food in Morogoro

There are many "safi dukas" in town; the following are just highlights.
  • Main Market, (see map). open during daylight. Morogoro has one of the best produce markets in Tanzania, because Morogoro is fertile and at a major crossroads. A wide variety of grains, fruits, vegetables, and meats are available. It is on the Old Dar Es Salaam Road, to the west of the daladala stand. If you accept a plastic bag from a child, you are agreeing to buy it (TSh50-100/=). Bag vendors will also carry your groceries as you shop if you let them, and expect a tip.
  • Saba-Saba Market. open during daylight. This market is on the west side of the town; follow the Old Dar Es Salaam Road past the main market, go over the small bridge; at the SUA roundabout, bear to the right; the street dead-ends into a row of shops. The entrace is roughly where the road ends, leading behind the shops. It is full of stalls selling all kinds of stuff, mostly very inexpensive used clothes, linens, etc. Sundays is a great day to go. BE CAREFUL of pick-pockets.
  • Pira's Cash and Carry, (see map), +255 23 261 3310. Pira's one of the nicest minimarkets in town, carrying a wide variety of packaged goods; canned food, housewares, etc. A decent candy selection, frozen meats, and liquor as well, but limited produce. It is one block to the north of the daladala stand.
  • Gapco Supermarket, +255 754 478 000. This store is on the second floor of the GapCo petrol station, on the west side of the road about mid-way between town and the bus stand. It carries many of the same goods as Pira's, except liquor, and a large selection of housewares. Often open a bit later than Pira's, but with slightly higher prices.
  • Murad's Supermarket 1, (on the second floor of the MT Petrol station, just east of the bridge near the dala stand), +255 713 899 799. 8AM-8PM every day. A decent supermarket in the center of downtown and stays open late.
  • Murad's Supermarket 2, (on the corner near Sofia Hotel). 8AM to 8:30PM. A second store run by Murad's, closer to central downtown, but with a smaller selection.
