Nice restaurant with great gardens and awesome grilled chicken. They serve Ugandan dishes! Delish stuff. Unfortunately I didn't photograph the food, I was too hungry.

Nice serene place for lunch. All local Ugandan dishes. I had boiled goat meat with matooke, pumpkin and Kalo ( millet bread ). I will surely visit again

If you want an authentic Ugandan culinary experience - this is the place to be! It is located in Nakasero. Quite packed during lunch hours! It is a popular joint for most of the working class locals.Food was tasty and the portions were really large! I would have to starve for 2 days for me to finish the servings. particularly loved the beef in groundnut sauce luwombo. Service was great. Conveniently located!
