About Noble House
Chinese dining at Johari Rotana
Noble House is the Chinese restaurant at Johari Rotana on Sokoine Drive in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The hotel occupies part of the MNF Square development in the central business district, close to the port and Zanzibar ferry. Rotana lists Noble House for lunch and dinner and describes a contemporary dining room, with an emphasis on Chinese cuisine, presentation and service.
Setting and recognition
The operator presents Noble House as a setting for intimate evenings and special celebrations, with a menu inspired by Asian culinary traditions. It is a distinct dining venue within Johari Rotana, separate from Zafarani All-Day Dining and Hamilton's Gastropub. In its 2026 winners list, World Culinary Awards names Noble House at Johari Rotana as Africa's Best Chinese Cuisine Restaurant. The recognition identifies the restaurant itself, rather than the hotel's dining collection as a whole.

For restaurant enquiries, Rotana publishes the food-and-beverage telephone number +255 742 732 670 and the email address fbres.johari@rotana.com.

The same contact provides a direct route for asking about the current menu, dietary requirements and arrangements for your party.
World Culinary Awards recognition
Noble House is the 2026 winner in Africa's Best Chinese Cuisine Restaurant 2026. These category awards are distinct from Michelin stars or an inspection-based numerical restaurant score.
The published voting rules distinguish public voters from verified industry voters, whose votes carry twice the weight. The award identifies a category winner rather than supplying a tasting score for every restaurant.
