Java House Kigali Heights

Java House is fast becoming one of my favorite hangout spots in Kigali. I first visited after a workout session on a Tuesday and ordered their curry plate. The flavors were rich, and the portion was generous. It hit just right; warm, hearty, and satisfying without being too heavy. That first experience made me want to return. So today, I went back with my friend Funmi for breakfast. The vibe in the morning was calm and peaceful , perfect for easing into the day. The total bill for two came to 22,000 RWF, which is reasonable for a full sit-down breakfast at a place with good service and ambiance. Now let’s talk about the service. Ariane, who attended to us, was excellent. She was kind, attentive, and patient. She made sure we were comfortable, checked in without being intrusive, and even offered suggestions when we seemed undecided. Big shout-out to Ariane , service like hers makes people come back.
