Food & Drinks
The Oxtail is char grilled to golden using raw banana peels to give it an aroma unmatched! It is then slow boiled over a charcoal stove which gives it a special aroma in addition to the one by the raw banana peels! Some onion, Tomato, carrot and or green pepper is added together with an Irish potato. The whole process should take about two hours to serving time. Try it today!
Freshly harvested green peas are boiled with just enough water and carrot and onion added as well as salt to taste! You can eat it with Ghee or without it!
One large fruit is peeled and carefully(to avoid crushing the seeds) blended with drinking water. The more water, the less thick! Add some ice or order it at room temperature- Ohooo- Nature's goodness!
A mixture of fresh Lemons, Limes, and Mint with a dash of sprite to quench your thirst in a healthy way!

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.

Tasty local food. Great customer care
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
Had lunch with family. It was my first time eating here. The place is lovely and the staff welcoming. The food was very nice and service was excellent. Will definitely recommend this restaurant.
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!
