Restaurant
Nestled within the Le Petit Village boutique hotel complex, Le Chateau Brasserie Belge offers a unique dining experience with its traditional African decor and ambiance. The restaurant takes pride in serving top-notch European and Belgian cuisine, including a renowned beef fillet dish. Guests can enjoy the tranquility of the outdoor areas while savoring delectable meals. Notably, the restaurant hosts a popular Bottomless Brunch & Bubbly event on the last Sunday of each month.
Probably one of the best restaurants in KLA. I’ve been to at least 20 of the top rated and their service was great. Good selection of prime meat, and seafood. Amos was our waiter and he was attentive.

A very nice dining experience! We came to celebrate our 17 year old birthday and he left saying “that was the best meal I’ve ever had!” From the steak to the fish to the burger and meat skewers (no pork ribs unfortunately! 😢) to the sushi taco starter, everything was wonderful and we all enjoyed our food. The service was great and the atmosphere was very beautiful and classy, with a light music but nothing too loud. Desserts here and at the bakery are always fresh and don’t have too much sugar. A standout in Kampala for sure!

First: The location is close to the center of Kampala, approximately 10 minutes by car in case of traffic jams, and it is located in a lively area.. Second: The restaurant is within a beautiful complex, next to it there is a coffee and a supermarket, and it has privacy and a beautiful atmosphere, and services such as parking, security men, stunning nature and distinctive designs are available. Third: The food in the restaurant is delicious and the menu is limited. To be honest, I tried their steak and it tasted very nice, and the workers there are nice, I intend to visit again.

Very delicious food. Dry aged steaks, prawns, pasta. Good variety of wines and beears. Exiting atmosphere. Pricely, but rather good. Next to "le gourmet" shop of delicatessen. Not a problem to find a place on the parking if it's not a rush hour.

It's been a year since I last came here, and I can't say it was as wonderful as I remembered it to be. The place is slightly rundown - I mean it shows the wear and tear of age - and really could do with a refreshed decor or simply coats of paint and varnish. But don't get me wrong... It's very clean, well kept, and beautiful. The prices have always been expensive, but it's now stratospheric! $$$$$ Definitely incredibly expensive, despite the fact that about 80% of their menu is based on items sourced locally. So it's a bit of a head-scratcher. Service was extremely subpar. Despite specifically describing an allergy, and then checking with the waiter before he departed to the kitchen, the food still came without meeting our requirements. The waiter also attempted to clear away plates before we finished eating! 😅 Some very officious people (ministers, maybe) arrived at the neighboring table, and people kept joining every 5-10 minutes. So the waiter probably wanted to chase us away so he could add our table to their growing complement of people. Meanwhile, the food was very good! The chicken was a little dry, but everything else was perfect. They were running a special course on Angus and Wagyu steak... I was tempted, but the eye watering prices kept me in check! Despite asking for the coldest beer they have, I was served one that was tepid at best.

Lots of fabulous salads and cheeses at Bottomless Brunch, once a month on a Sunday. I'm sure most people were far more interested in the meat barbecue - and that was great - but it was the range of artfully arranged salads that really hit the spot for me. (Seriously overdosed on the desserts as well!) The Bottomless Brunch is a rather pricey 250,000 per head but my friend and I were celebrating our birthdays and treated ourselves to a half day eating and drinking, so no complaints! Service was great although some of the cocktails were far too strong. Glasses of fizz quickly appeared on demand 🥂 #diaryofamuzungu #foodie #kampala

Worst service ever. Just been at the restaurant, made an order at 19:24. Dinner for two, ordered for a pork meal , a coke and tea… We had to plead for the waitress to bring the tea and the bread(which is usually served at first sit). 1 hour and 30 minutes later she come by, to Mbu to apologize for the day and 30 minutes later after we complain they have the guts to say they will pay for the drinks we had had…. Social degrading, ohhh you have to look a certain way to be served here… The most annoying part is that the tables next us kept getting what ever they ordered in minutes. While we sat and carried our hands… Btw you should all be ashamed of yourselves… and the manager all acting rose… we came there because we were sure we could pay our bills… we dnt come for free drinks? Cole and black tea) as if…. It’s so sad that fellow Ugandans are acting like this…. You dnt even have to put stars in your site..:. You guys are trash for real.

Fine dining restaurant
Barbecue restaurant
Nestled in the heart of Kampala, The Lawns Restaurant stands out as a unique culinary destination, being the only establishment in the city licensed to serve game meat sourced from registered South African ranches. This vibrant eatery invites adventurous diners to indulge in exotic dishes such as ostrich burgers and smoked kudu steak, with an impressive whole crocodile tail available for those who plan ahead. The ambiance is equally captivating, featuring manicured gardens and a stunning wooden deck that overlooks a lush golf course.
The service was great and the food was delicious. Above all, I really loved the atmosphere — I’d definitely love to visit again ! Just one small suggestion > it would be even better if the soup and bread were served separately.😊
Michelle K — Google review
I Love places that keep changing and evolving for the better. I like that everytime I visit the Lawns they have some new architectural finishings or changes in setup ☺️☺️ Maybe it's because I take a while without visiting. Anyway Lawns remains consistent on its flavourful meals, we were there for a birthday dinner and no one complained about their food taste, even if the food coming to the table took a bit of sometime. Amazing ambience, great fine dinning experience, great location. I definetly recommend for any group dinners.

The ambience was great, it would make a great place to host functions. The service was great, the waiter Ernest took his time to politely explain to us what was on the menu and his recommendations. The game meat was good, of all I would recommend Sitatunga (it was tasty, familiar taste to me), the vegetables and wedges were done well. The spices were on point. Just add some light music to make the place a bit lively

The food was absolutely amazing! We had curry mutton (which tasted out of this world) and Texas burgers, as well as Sundae and ice cream for dessert, everything tasted quite delicious and the ingredients were so fresh. Our waiter (I forgot to ask for his name) was very nice and extremely polite. The whole experience was so good honestly that I regret not discovering this gem of a place before. Bonus info: the atmosphere is very nice, we sat on the terrace and had the amazing views of the golf course below. Thank you 😊

During our visit to Kampala, we had the pleasure of dining at The Lawns restaurant—and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. From the moment we arrived, the ambience was captivating: lush greenery, elegant decor, and a serene atmosphere that made us feel instantly relaxed and welcomed. The real star of the evening, however, was the food. We indulged in their game meat delicacies, which were not only expertly prepared but bursting with flavor. Every bite was a testament to the chef’s skill and the restaurant’s commitment to quality. It’s easily among the best meals we’ve ever had. Service was impeccable—attentive, warm, and professional. What truly stood out was the personal touch: the owner himself was present, ensuring that every guest was well taken care of. That level of dedication is rare and made our experience feel even more special. If you're visiting Uganda, and especially Kampala, The Lawns is a must-visit. Whether you're a foodie, a nature lover, or simply someone looking for a memorable evening out, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommended!

We called in for reservations on a chilly Sunday evening about 9:40 because the kitchen closes at 10.30 , when we got there it wasn’t too busy and we got sat immediately sent in our orders and we actually got quick service because the food arrived in less than 20 minutes, We ordered sizzling crocodile for starters and the the game platters with buffalo meat and some other local meats . The meat was really good 7/10 . The atmosphere is perfect lots of space and trees and greenery we shall definitely come back again

The staff members are dressed in uniforms reflecting Indian culture, and the restaurant's layout features an inner courtyard with a water fountain. Located alongside Acacia Avenue, this eatery is famous for serving delectable Indian cuisine.
Food was pretty good, flavours on point, biryani was great, palak paneer was really good, though the lamb chops were not tender enough, a bit chewy for my liking 4.5/5. Portion sizes were modest depending on the fish. Ambiance was nice and service 5/5 was very good 5/5

I am not a big lover of Indian food, but was still every excited to give Khana Khazana a try - any restaurant with the word Treasure (Khazana) must be good, right? The restaurant is decorated in a Northern Indian style and they specialize in Tandoori based dishes. Their menu is vast so it was a bit difficult for me to choose something, however with some help from the waiter I ended up getting something I really enjoyed. They seem to also be very popular with the locals as the restaurant was quite full, which is always a good sign. If you enjoy Indian food, this is a must-visit.

The food at Khana Khazana was good with authentic flavors. The chicken quality was satisfactory, and the mutton was tender, providing a balanced mix of quality and taste. It is a recommended place to have Indian food in Kampala. The only drawback is that they close relatively early, at 10 PM. Located at the center of Kampala

My friends and I decided to try out a local Thai restaurant for lunch, and it turned out to be a delightful experience. The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and satisfying. What made the experience even more special was the personal touch from the chef. After our meal, the Thai chef came out to greet us and ask how we enjoyed the food. He introduced himself and shared a bit about his background, including his impressive 8-year stint working in Dubai before moving to Uganda. His humility and friendliness made a lasting impression on us. It's not every day that you meet a chef who not only prepares your meal but also takes the time to ensure you enjoyed it. Overall, the combination of authentic Thai flavors and the warm, personal service made our lunch a memorable one.

It had been a couple of years since I was at Tamarai. Very quiet and lovely spot. The service was really fast and the food portions were generous and very filling too. We ordered drunken noodles, dim sum, potato wedges, chicken wings and sushi. The cocktails were spot on too- had a pinacolada and a strawberry daiquiri. The bartender was quite generous with the alcohol.

It's a beautiful place with a calm atmosphere. It has both outdoor and indoor seating and two sections. The upper section is mostly for people who enjoy shish and smokers. I had a good solo date, the food was OK. I ordered pork ribs which come with stir fry vegetable sauce and a side of fried rice. The sauce was abit too oily but the rest of the food was ok. I paired my meal up with a beer which was refreshing. The service was abit slow but they were nice.

Tried the chicken pad Thai and chicken drunken noodle, definitely preferred the latter. The pad that was a bit too dry for me but that may just be my preference and limited knowledge of North American pad Thai. 5/5 for drunken noodle 3.5/5 for the pad Thai Ambiance was nice and setting was very nice too, bonus thanks for the staff for the cool Birthday swag and singing 5/5

There's a nice vintage feel to the place. A space that creates a relaxing ambience. If you are looking for a space to hold a private meeting, read a book or for a bit of privacy then I highly recommend it. They have a band once a week but it doesn't turn into the bar hype. For seating there are three options; outdoor, dinning setting and sofas for a more casual informal vibe. They have a good breakfast variety that comes with tea/coffee and juice and amazing cocktails for the evening

What was once one of the top restaurants in town has continued to suffer a steady decline. On our latest visit we played ping pong with our waiter as he reported our chosen dishes were unavailable. The only thing worse was having a dish which clearly lacked its stated ingredients. Mushrooms with feta and oregano without the feta and barely any mushrooms is just a baked tomato and onion sauce. The waiters were more interested with watching the football at the bar leaving us unable to get a second drink despite wanting one. For those who enjoy a cigarette or sisha with their meals this is definitely the place to go as both outlawed activities are permissible here. One can only hope that after the pandemic the regular chef will return to restore standards to what they once were.

Last month I visited Uganda and my quest for local food ends here. The restaurant is popular for local food and 3 branches in Kampala. Though I already had Matooke and Rolex but i was looking for Luwombo (lamb one). So our guide Derek brought us here. The restaurant has buffet and ala carte both. Buffet serves at 1st floor. Not very well decorated one but service was good and food was really tasty. The buffet covers most of the local dishes. Food was really good. Buffet covers appetizer, main dish, drink and fruits.

The restaurant is clean. Well spaced out tables. The person who served us seemed to be new. He made several mistakes, giving us wrong bill twice. Also, food was very late, two people got their food and I had to wait 15 minutes to get my food. Food must be served at the same time. The waiter also forgot our chapati which came way late when we had finished our meal. Most things on the menu weren’t available. The food was really really nice though. They just need to work on their Service. The restaurant needs to invest in liquid soap. Having a bar of soap which had turned black for everyone to use to wash their hands isn’t hygienic at all.

Restaurant
Shaka Zulu Foods, situated in Kiswa along Campelling Road, Bugolobi, is a popular spot among locals. The restaurant offers a variety of traditional meals such as pilau and luwombo at reasonable prices, with each meal accompanied by complimentary fresh juice. The establishment has a Zulu-themed design and features bells on the dining tables for customers to call the waitstaff.
The best local Ugandan food I have had in a very long time. More than enough portions and amazing customer service. The juice is on top of the moon, full jar for every one. No wonder I feel younger and healthier after all that food. Thanks to our amazing waitress, your such a queen and you should be given a salary raise for such 5 star customer care. Never been this happy about food. I definitely recommend this place to the entire universe and galaxies.

I visited on Saturday evening. Unlike other restaurants still opened at around same time, Shaka Zulu had local foods. All meals have a flat rate of 20K and comes with juice. The food quality and quantity is worth the money. The staff are smart and curteous. I like the Zulu themed design of the place. It really feels like one is in South Africa. What I found really interested was the bell on the dining table for one to ring to call the waitress. The place is also children friendly. There are specific chairs for babies. I like it also that one can pay using Visa Card or Mobile Money. If you want healthy local foods, Shaka Zulu is the place.

I had the privilege to explore the majority of the menu over the course of an extended business stay in Kampala and will say that this restaurant and the attached Villa Kololo is by far the best experience I have had in town. The team there understands their menu and always deliver a top shelf meal, the bar staff is fantastic at delivering well crafted cocktails, and the wait staff is attentive without being intrusive. Hands down the best dining experience in the city.

My second trip in one week to Kampala's best Italian restaurant. The bread was not the best quality, whilst the prawn cocktail, carpaccio and smoked salmon were 3.5/5, however the pizza and pasta were on point. The service is exceptional as is the restaurant vibe with it getting full quickly. In addition they have a singer with a guitar that lightens the mood.

It was a Saturday night and we hadn’t booked and we managed to get a table. The Italian food was perfect.

I was finally impressed by a restaurant in Kampala 🙏 Staff were attentive, kind and accomodating. Ambiance is modren, welcoming, and clean. Food was really fresh and delicious. I ordered the pear salad and was able to substitute the blue cheese for chicken instead. It was large and filling and had ingredients throughout the salad (not just on top). Even the little bread they add with it was so soft and fresh. Pleasant surprise coming here and would return. Recommend!

The experience was below expectations. The food portions were very small, especially the chips which were tiny. The cake plates looked very old and the designs honestly seemed to have no effort put into them. On top of that, we waited an hour for our food. I’ll excuse the delay only because the pork ribs were good.

Food: reasonably priced, fresh-tasting portions generally. The only thing I had a complaint about was the grilled salmon which was dryer than cardboard. Absolutely recommend the bakery cakes and very authentic tasting Moroccan cookies which stayed fresh for over a week in my refrigerator. I even froze some cakes for 8 hour travel and they still stayed moist and tasty! Its a pity that Service is hit or miss depending on the individual staff or the time of day...you will get your food eventually...as is the norm in Kampala. Big thanks to the wait staff who attend to you politely with a smile.

“I’ve been here 4–5 times now and it’s been consistently amazing. The grilled chicken breast with veggies is honestly the best I’ve ever had — piping hot, juicy, and somehow not dry (a miracle for chicken breast). The coffee is spot on too. But the real shocker? The service. I’m from the West where you’re lucky if the waiter cracks a smile, but here they’ll move your laptop and drinks for you if you want to change tables, and there are staff cleaning the bathrooms literally every minute. In London the bathrooms look like a crime scene — here, someone even opens the door for you. 10/10, highly recommend.”

I am always up for going to Yujo. Please note that it's on the higher side in terms of costs but so worth it!! From the bento box to the sauces, I always look forward to my next visit. Do not forget to try their Tiramisu version. It's a must-have. Side note: Ask if the noodles are cold or hot. My dinner partner was surprised about them coming cold. Also, reservations are better. Depending on the day, there is a small wait for a seat.

This place pops up when you are looking for a coffee place in Kampala. So I had some expectations however it was really disappointing. The balcony is along a really busy road so it's quite noisy. There are no plants or anything to make the atmosphere more comfortable. There is no menu to see the coffee specialities and prices. They don't serve snacks with it. The muffin I had was not fresh. There are no options for non dairy milk. And the coffee was as good/bad as at any other place. So for it is not worth there to go there compared to any other place.

First time trying this. We looked up Facebook for the pizza menu and called them. While I needed to call 3 times for them to pick up and take the order, the rest happened quite fuss-free. Reading the reviews about long waiting times, i ordered at 430pm for early dinner. I was promised delivery in 45 mins and they came in 35 mins. We were pleasantly surprised.

I recently dined at Cafe Javes and was thoroughly impressed by both their delicious halal food and exceptional customer service. This restaurant truly understands what it means to provide a memorable dining experience. The variety of halal options available was amazing, with each dish delivering superb taste. Every item we ordered exceeded our expectations, showcasing the kitchen's attention to quality and flavor. What really sets this cafe apart is their incredible customer service. Initially, we didn't get the balcony seat we hoped for. However, before we even placed our order, one of the staff members thoughtfully moved us to a balcony table, which made our dining experience so much better. They have attention to Detail, When we ordered drinks, they prepared them exactly as requested - even remembering the specific amount of ice we asked for. This level of attention to customer preferences is remarkable. We had ordered rice instead of fries with our meal, but they accidentally brought fries. The fries were actually delicious, so we didn't mind at all. Our server immediately offered to change it, but we were happy with what we received. What happened next was truly impressive - after a few minutes, they brought out the rice we originally ordered free of charge, acknowledging their mistake and ensuring we got exactly what we wanted. The cafe demonstrates exceptional customer service that goes beyond just taking orders and serving food. They genuinely care about their customers' experience and are willing to make things right when mistakes happen. The combination of delicious halal food, great variety, and staff who truly care about customer satisfaction makes this restaurant a standout choice

The chicken tenders and fries was ok but taste better with a little assistance from the dipping sauce. My friend loved the baked chicken.

I was there on a Thursday. Nice hangout with Janzi Live band from 8pm, but it was quite crowded. So the waiters and waitresses were also over occupied. But maybe it's just the day. Also, it's a hangout for Govt officials 😎

This place is an absolute disaster. The so-called “supervisors” are outright rude and unprofessional. What we ordered is not even close to what we got .we ordered for roasted fish they brought deep fried fish and instead of bringing meat they packed the plate with plantain we didnt ask for . — and for the ridiculous prices they charge, it’s nothing but daylight robbery. Complete waste of money. Never stepping foot here again, and I’ll warn everyone I know to stay far away from this joke of a place. No Wi-Fi, no basic courtesy — you even have to beg for a damn toothpick. The place is swarming with flies like a filthy market, yet they can’t even bother to put candles to keep them away. The drinks are watered down garbage, the music is dull and depressing, and the whole experience is honestly insulting. If you value your time, money, and sanity, avoid this dump at all costs. If you are dying to come here please come with toothpick ,insectside for the flies and toilet paper .Thank you if there was an option of negative stars id have put it

It is cool place, organized and spacious with a variety of delicious eats and drinks moreover at relatively low prices. Have you ever made an order and it takes ages that you have to stand up and look for the waiter? This place is totally different. These gents and ladies check on you almost every 3 minutes to ensure you are not complaining. If you love Sauna or steam bath, you are covered too Parking with security to ensure your car is safe Try it and tell me if I am wrong!! On point 👌👌👌👌

Looking for Band night in Kampala on a Thursday night. Torino is the place to be. Janzi band performs there from 8pm to almost 12 midnight I would advise you go early, By the time we went at 9pm, the whole place was Too crowded for my liking and the empty tables were reserved because Kampala revellers love bandnights,💯💯 Loved the band performance itself ofcourse, always a vibe watching music played on instruments. ☺️☺️ Didn't eat and only drunk but majority of the people were having dinner and from where I was seated, the food looked yummy, lol anyway I will update the food review next time I visit.

The food is ok, but expensive 32k+ for a curry WITHOUT rice, while most places I have been to a curry with rice is around 32-36k the plain basmati rice in a small bowl is 10k kumbuchari which is basically diced tomatoes and onions in a small dish 10k soda at 4k small water 4k this isn't worth it and I doubt I will ever be back.

Cooktoria Mexican Restaurant in Kampala offers a vibrant and fun dining experience with a lively patio, unique indoor decor, and good music. The menu features a creative selection of tacos, generous burritos, and flavorful homemade guacamole and salsas. Despite being far from Mexico, the restaurant impresses with well-seasoned dishes such as burritos, chimichangas, and taco salad.
Just came for the first time. It’s is only their third day in their new location so they didn’t even have a sign yet. I’m very picky with Mexican food as I live in Southern California and travel frequently to Mexico. I can’t believe this is Uganda. I was very hesitant as I don’t even get Mexican food in other parts of the US. The food was fresh and delicious. Not that I’ve had Mexican in Africa before but I’m certain it is the best in East Africa. Not much atmosphere as they are just setting up but the food makes it all worth it! We will definitely be back! Parking is only on the street. The owner Pius and his wife Judith are very accommodating and attentive.

Ordered a burrito, my wife ordered enchiladas. Everything was very delicious. It was made fresh and took a reasonable amount of time to prepare. The quantity was very good. I was able to finish mine but was quite full, my wife only finished 2 of her 3 enchiladas, but enjoyed them very much. Service was perfect, she checked on us several times, but not too much. She was polite and friendly.

Sadly this place isn't good. The place is ok in terms of atmosphere. But the food is not good. Firstly was told no juice so the whole juice menu was off, this was lunchtime, they eventually managed to make one juice. Ordered food, enchiladas was mostly empty, just cheese on top and alittle meat inside mostly hollow. The sides for the enchiladas was extremely tiny, and if you compare them to the other meal which had decent sized sides although even then chips was a little small. But the extremely small sides for the enchiladas which I have seen bigger portion sizes for kids meals, made the meal not worth the money and I left the place hungry and disappointed. Also the other meal was supposed to have guacamole instead a few slices of avocado. The whole experience was bad. Please close down and let other mexican restaurants sell good food.

Generally speaking, when you're looking for decent mexican food outside of Mexico or the southern US you're out of luck. Cooktoria is one of the rare places that actually delivers.

Many of us are foodies, so naturally we’re always on the hunt to eat at the most popular spots anytime we travel somewhere new. Kampala has awesome rooftop restaurants with great food, well- made cocktails, and Instagram worthy views. Pinsa Romana popularly known as the Pizza connection is a small, quiet, outdoor rooftop terrace located in Kisementi area nested just next to Acacia Mall. The restaurant’s setting offers a simple but relaxed vibe. It is encased in greenery and the view makes it the perfect spot to enjoy. Soak up the colour and vibrancy of the city view over lunch or while enjoying a relaxing dinner and happy hour on a cool breezy evening after a busy day The dining experience was great. I recommend anyone to order the chicken salad (Insalata di Pollo), Fillet steak with pepper/mushroom sauce & Fries, it is authentic.

A beautiful restaurant at the heart of Kisementi and next to Accacia Mall. They do have a good selection of Italian cuisine including pizza as the name suggests. The waiters are usually friendly and you can also get both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages.

The open-air restaurant is surrounded by a tranquil garden, providing a relaxing setting to enjoy a pot of tea while indulging in their phenomenal Japanese cuisine. The menu features a range of Asian options, including Korean BBQ and ramen, but the sushi stands out as their specialty.
Hiro is a beautiful and high end restaurant. From the decor to the staff. They did everything right. I can't fault them for anything at all. The staff were very professional and friendly. The car parking is abit limited but there is a valet available to help with difficult parking. Honestly 10/10 up to that point Now the food. Honestly the food is not for everyone. It wasn't for me either. If you're an avid fan of sushi and those kinds of delicacies I guess it can work for you. For me personally I could only eat the fries. Everything else I ordered was a hard swallow. So here still I cannot fault them as I believe it would be a subjective matter. Maybe I am not the right fit for the menu. I thought I was going safe by ordering pork and chicken off the grill but still I could not manage it. Other than that Hiro is a great restaurant and if you have taste for that kind of food I'd highly recommend it

This was my first time to visit Hiro in Kampala. It was a Sunday evening and I thought it would be reasonably quiet, but it was fairly busy with a steady flow of people all evening. The staff were welcoming and pleasant and eager to please. I ordered the tempura prawns and the black cod as a main course. Everything was presented very well and looked amazing on the plate. The taste of my food was excellent although the sauce over my cod was a little too salty for me, apart from that everything was first class. The selection of drinks were good along with a good selection of cocktails. This restuarant is an ideal option if you want a really special night out.

My experience at Hiro Restaurant was absolutely phenomenal! From the moment we walked in, the warm, modern ambiance with sleek wooden decor and soft lighting set the perfect tone for an unforgettable evening. The menu is wide with a lot of interesting Japanese names that I had to call a waiter called Usamah to help out with the food selection. He was the most pateient of humans I have met while answering our endless questions. He recommended I try Niki Shoga -Yaki which was done to perfection. Our server was incredibly attentive, offering thoughtful sake pairing suggestions that elevated the meal. The attention to detail, from the beautifully plated dishes to the friendly staff, made it feel like a fine-dining experience without pretension. Highly recommend the salads with chicken breast for healthy options and their signature sushi boxes! I can’t wait to return to Hiro for another incredible meal. 📸 Bonus: Photogenic

The place looks very good, I give them a 10 for that, the tables are abit squeezed, I guess they tried so hard to accommodate many people which limits privacy. We reached the place, so excited… we were ushered in well and the first disappointment was the menu taking over 15 minutes; we had to call a waiter to give us one, that was really not nice. The food took sometime, but finally came. It was tasty, score: 7/10. We ordered a Konichiwa and Yoga for drinks,then Chicken katsu bento & Pork teriyaki bento. The service was really slow..desert, clearing our table after eating, getting the bill, all took ages😔 Then the space demarcated for smoking is so close to the eating area. Someone was smoking and the whole restaurant was full of smoke, this is something that needs to be revisited by management. Limited parking space, better to come with a driver to drop you off then come back. Thanks.

Very quiet and great for conversation, great ambience, we had a reservation and so had a waiter waiting on our table the whole time who did well with recommendations on the drinks and Food. Loved the 🍸, I had the Yoga mocktail, just because it was called that 😀 and it was so rich and naturally sweet and refreshing, the rest of the drinks looked amazing too and everyone enjoyed what they had. Cocktails are well priced at around 25,000 to 35,000 however didn't appreciate the local beer price, 😐. Anyway, we had a great dinner as it wasn't crowded at all, we sat downstairs, but there'ss a whole upstairs seating that I forgot to go check out, 😩. Many people had the pork ribs and the salad wasn't fresh from my neighbour 😩 I however I tried the Yakisoba pan fried ramen 🍜 noodles, which were tasty and very filling. Ohh Loved the take away package as well, very eco-friendly and beautiful, no plastic. I hope more restaurants in Uganda can adopt this like they do in Kenya.

Very disappointed, the service was lazy and terrible, I ordered a chicken pie and a cold water, took ten mins to bring out and the waitress proceeded to open the water I ordered which was warm yet I asked for cold water, the glass they gave me to put my water in was disgusting with someone else's lip prints still on the glass, when I complained and asked the waitress if she would drink out of this glass she said no and smiled then I was I was given a dirty look, when the bill came I was charged 18,500 when I queried I was told I was charged 11,500 for the pie and 3,500 for a bottle of water (you can get way better pies at savers for half the price) and 3,500 for each water two waters because one was opened by staff at the table (the warm one), I refused to pay for that and insisted that my bill be recalculated, I paid my bill of 15,500. I was served by Joyce who could have cared less, when I asked to see the manager Mr Rastus he also could have cared less, I told them I was unhappy with the service and attitude and that I would review this "restaurant" on Google, he said ho right ahead I'm looking forward to it, I hope the owner reads Google reviews on his or her restaurant, as for everyone else check your bills at this place.

I haven't had Ethiopian food, so I don't know what to say about it. It was interesting. The injera,by itself, had a strong taste I didn't particularly enjoy, but when dipped in the sauce, it was nice. It would take my palate a while to get used, but I think it was a nice experience. We had doro tibbs and dry tibbs. The gentleman that served us was really nice. My friend and I were the only women in the estab which was kinda eh. I'd go again

The food is delicious, the location ideal and the vibe feel at home. But the service needs to be improved. You can't expect a single server to handle all those tables. We had to wait for quite a while to get the attention of the server.

I go here whenever I am in kampala. been here about 6 or 7 times since 2017. They now play the music too loud and it doesn't really fit with the interior (which could be nice and peaceful). ordered the tibs. the meat was hard, fatty and chewy. I was charged 30K, but it should've been 20k, i asked about it and rechecked the menu. The waitress just kept saying 'shika tibs', there is nothing like that on the menu, nor is there any tibs for 30K and its not what I ordered. I felt scammed, just walked out and won't be back. its gotten worse the last few years.

Restaurant
"The Little Donkey Authentic Mexican Food" is a popular Mexican restaurant in Kampala, known for its authentic cuisine and favored by the Embassy Staff. It is considered to offer the best Mexican food in East Africa. Visitors shouldn't miss their Day of the Dead celebration, which adds to the cultural experience. Recently rebranded as Cooktoria, it continues to be a go-to spot for those craving genuine Mexican flavors in Uganda.
This is a great place to eat, favorite Mexican food they really try to cater to the true taste and presentation Mexican food. I try to eat here regularly because they strive for perfection. I'll eat here with my family, with colleagues, friends, or just by myself. The wait staff is very friendly and helpful they will try to answer any questions you have. This is a little hole-in-the-wall type restaurant so the spacing for seating is limited but it is worth it, there's limited parking and you do have to walk up stairs to go inside or walk upstairs (not many) to their patio. The taco shells could be a little bit better, but overall still worth the stop when you're craving Mexican. They also deliver on jumia, so if you really can't get to the restaurant you can always have them deliver, as their hours are reasonable too, so lunch and dinner is always an option. This isn't Mexico and it's not the United States but this is pretty dang close when you figure we are 8-10,000 miles away from genuine Mexican food or tex-mex food. If you have never had Mexican food, go here it's fairly close to the original thing!

Best Mexican food in Uganda. We’ve eaten here several times and continue to return or order from Jumia every time we make it to Kampala. The corn tortillas are the best around, homemade, which makes wonderful corn chips. I wish they would expand to Mbarara! The only thing I wish they had was authentic spicy salsa. I know most Ugandans don’t prefer such spicy things but many expats do! The place is small but feels like any good Mexican restaurant you’d find in the US. Parking is very limited.

If you want to buy something there, check the price tag carefully. when you pay, you will pay a higher price than the price tag.

The waitress also didn't wear a mask. The restaurant looks understaffed, the waitress was absent for long periods of time, which wasn't practical when I needed something.

I wouldn't recommend this for anyone looking for a fine dining experience. Today brought my 2 boys after IMC Kololo who were starving having spent hours receiving treatment. The hostess who ushered us was really nice but that was it. The food they brought for my toddler was salt-less/tasteless. He rejected it right away yet he's not picky. The fries were too plain and they had no Ketchup! Really! The sizzling pork was a joke. Then the spoons my!!!! Like they use them to scoop coal. Then serving using the back area was a turn off. I give you a 2.

The sizzling beef was extremely bland. It's as if they even forgot to add salt . It did not come 'sizzling' (rather tasted like boiled meat) as even though there were only 3 other people on the restaurant (I now understand why) they 'didn't have' dishes . The hot and sour was fried gobules of chicken skin and bone made from road runner chicken with hardly no meat. The hot pot fish was full of vegetables and fish bone with literally no meat. Quite a punch at 98k! The noodles were a bland spaghetti flavored with an egg. And obviously the rice came way after the main dishes.... I will not go back

During your culinary adventures in Kampala, you'll find a plethora of dining options to satisfy any palate. One notable mention is Indian Summer, which was renowned for its exquisite North Indian cuisine before it closed its doors six years ago in 2012. While reminiscing about the vibrant flavors and dishes that once graced this beloved establishment, it's essential to be mindful of the facts—especially when sharing experiences from places that no longer exist.
Indian summer closed 6 years ago in 2012 and had fantastic north Indian cuisine. I wonder where Nigel ate from 6 months back. You need to be sincere rather than sabotage. You look stupid to claim that u ate from there when it shut down. Or maybe u went to a ghost restaurant near by thinking u were in Indian Summer.

When visiting the Swahili Pot Restaurant, you'll find that it beautifully showcases the rich culinary heritage of Uganda through its use of Swahili names for various dishes. This delightful eatery not only serves up authentic flavors but also offers a chance to immerse yourself in the local culture by familiarizing yourself with these unique terms. Whether you're a food enthusiast or simply looking to explore new tastes, dining at Swahili Pot is an experience that connects you with both the cuisine and language of this vibrant region.
Party of 2. Asked if they had Pilao, they confirmed they did, served mushy rice that we failed to enjoy. Server asked if the food was good, we told her it wasn’t asked if menu, recipe or chef had changed as my friend (who was in attendance) had eaten here and this wasn’t what she’d raved about. Server confessed that the Pilao had actually been finished and they mixed white rice with seasonings to make what they served us. Total and utter disappointment. Proceeded to charge us full price for ‘not’ Pilao and had the audacity to say they’d give us a discount next time. lol discount on what exactly, more non existent food. We will never return nor recommend this restaurant!

Nestled away from the bustling streets, The Hickory is a hidden gem that offers an intimate dining experience perfect for romantic evenings or relaxed gatherings. This charming restaurant boasts a beautifully designed aesthetic that sets the mood for a delightful meal. Guests rave about the exceptional service provided by attentive staff who go above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. The menu features expertly crafted dishes, with highlights like the hickory platter, which leaves diners feeling content despite its modest portion size.
It is an amazing place that is unfortunately quite hidden away. A truly beautiful restaurant with an intimate aesthetic that exudes romantic and chilled vibes. The service from our waitress was exceptional, and she was extremely accommodating. The food itself was amazingly cooked, I myself had the hickory platter and although the portion size was a little small to someone of my appetite, the average person would feel more than satisfied by the portion size they are given. All together an amazing experience, beautiful atmosphere and excellent customer service. I will definitely be going back.

It’s still a surprise that I had never been to The Hickory until this weekend and guess what, my expectations were truly surpassed! The food was AMAZING 100/100, the service was exceptional! The music was just right and the atmosphere was superb. I’m definitely returning here to enjoy the other food options.

The place was nice before raining but after it started to rain, the whole dining area was leaking. It was dark when power went off.

I recently dined at the hickory restaurant that truly impressed me with its exceptional ambiance, cleanliness, and spacious layout. The environment was incredibly inviting and well-maintained, providing a sense of comfort and relaxation. Unlike many congested dining establishments in Kololo, the hickory restaurant had ample space between tables, allowing for a comfortable and private dining experience. The attention to cleanliness was evident, with spotless tables, polished silverware, and immaculate floors. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the restaurant’s commitment to providing a pleasant and hygienic dining environment. With Small but secure parking space, street parking is also allowed and secure.

Food was great and the ambience...but the French fries weren't the best this time round I don't know why because I remember Hickory had good fries last time I was there but this time oh my. There was one great waiter called Brian he gave us really good service.

Great place overally: Parking is a bit small and on a day that is full might be a problem. Service was Stellar, just as my waitresse's name. Garnish was very fresh and the lemons were crisp!!! Portions were a bit on the small side though for the price point. I ordered the Pork ribs and they were to my satisfaction but a bit on the cold side. I didn't mind though. I was in the restaurant side of the venue and music from the bar side was a bit loud. But overally it was a good experience. Would recommend if the budget allows.

The friendly waitstaff are always ready to provide top-notch service, making you feel right at home.

The bar is cozy and inviting, with friendly staff and a great crowd. The music is upbeat and fun, making for a great night out with friends. But the real standout at Mika's Pub is the service. The staff is knowledgeable about the beers they serve and can recommend great options based on your tastes. They're also friendly and attentive, making sure that all of their customers have a great time.

It is a pub on the road with inside seating and pool tables as week as siting outside. Relaxed atmosphere. Had beers and pizza, they ran out-of pork chops. The pizza had nice toppings but should have been more crispy.

This place came highly recommended and I was not impressed. The fish fingers were pretty tasty. The pizza was not good. The cheese didn’t have any flavor, there was no Italian seasonings and it was very greasy. The service here is very slow also. I waited forever to order and then I waited a long time for the food to come, so this is not a place that I would visit again.

The waiters at this establishment are incredibly friendly and provide excellent service. They offer a wide selection of food options, although I only had their pizza, which was slightly thick but absolutely delicious. They also have a variety of alcoholic beverages, although I only had one beer the ''CLUB''. For those looking for entertainment, they have pool tables available. There is a designated smoking area outside, as well as one near the pool table. Overall, I had a great time at this place.
