Yoni
Very interesting tour! Our guide was a really fun guy and we learned a lot about all the kinds of spices. Definitely recommend doing this if you like food, spices and culture. The finishing touch to this tour at Arnoldi’s was also amazing. Arnoldi’s is a very cosy beach bar/restaurant! The food and the drinks were absolutely amazing and the staff was lovely too!

I always buy asian food from it. Last time I brought some meat from this shop which was excellent, one of the best meat so far.
Sabrina
This tour was by far my favorite of the whole trip! The driver, Ali was so nice and professional. The spice farm tour was fun and informative. But best of all was the food and the setting at Arnoldii’s. So good and so nice. I recommend this to over all other Spice farm tours. Thank you again for having us!

We were choosing between two tours and are so glad we picked this one — it was excellent from start to finish. We were picked up by our driver Sheha and taken to Hakuna Matata Spice Farm, where Ramadan (our guide) and Mohammed (the farmer) made the experience fun, interactive, and informative. We loved guessing different spices, herbs, and roots by smell and learning about their uses. The fresh fruit, coconut water, and handmade leaf souvenirs were a lovely touch, and watching a farmer climb a tall coconut tree was unforgettable. The day ended perfectly at Arnoldi’s on the Cliff — delicious Swahili food, amazing service, and a truly idyllic oceanfront setting. Such a beautiful hidden gem that we would happily return to. Great value for money and would highly recommended.

Our spice farm guide Azizi was fabulous and engaging. We went with our two 10-year-olds and she was great with them. They really enjoyed it. Being in the shad really takes from the heat so it was very comfortable. We saw pepper, cloves, nutmeg, curry, lots of fruit. We tasted the fruit and it was at peak ripeness, all was perfect. We loved the coconut tree climber, the coconut, and the flower crowns! Then lunch at Arnold’s was perfect. Other than being hot, the drinks were great, the view incredible, and the food bite-sized and delicious. Served beautifully. The kids thought the sauce in the shell was the bees knees. This tour also seems to support the local community that owns the spice farm and makes and sells related products. I loved that we could support a community working together to offer this really great tour. We could use a card for spices but bring cash for many possible tipping options and buying of soaps.

There are two MR NAGA one I bought from talbot street world of spices and I bought from Clondalkin another shop. Today I would like to say something about world of spices . They are took from me 5.70 euro and other shop took from me 2.59 euro. Both product are same why world of spices took from me more money. Today I declare with people who are buy something from world of spices be careful because they are take lots of money from people some people doesn’t notice that . 3.11 euro they took more

The tour was incredible, even better than we expected. The tour through the spice farm was insightful, interactive and fun. We got to try many different spices and herbs. The highlight was seeing the coconut tree climber. The guides were very kind and funny. At a small stand you can buy locally made parfumes and soap which smell very good. Also we got to try lots of fresh fruits. After the spice tour, we were brought to Arnoldi's on the Cliff Bar & Bites restaurant. The view was spectacular, and we came at the perfect time for sunset. The food was delicious and prepared with lots of care. I can highly recommend trying their signature drink the 'baboons fart'. In the end, we got to drink a spice tea. The tour took longer than described, which however depends on how much time your group takes at each spot. We appreciated the extra time to enjoy the sunset, but be aware in case you have plans in the evening. Overall, we were so happy to have found the tour and can highly recommend it!

There’s a wide range of meat and fish, all looked fresh and neatly stored. Also had many Nigerian soup and spices which was a plus for me.

One of the go to store for Asian food shops, at Dublin City centre. Store is bit spacious compared to other Asian stores in city centre and have marked prices for all the products. It also has butcher section for the meat and fresh vegetables also available. They also have stocked Indian utensils now i.e. cooker, Idli vessels, Biryani pot etc. Overall good store for Asian food items with reasonable prices.
