    It's a small restaurant located in Gulu District. It was recommended by a colleague who is familiar with the area. Truth be told they have the best local food you can ever find in Gulu District. The food is at an affordable price, drinks are available. The sitting area is quite large sufficient to accommodate about 35 people. The service is fast and you won't wait long till your food is steaming your face 😂

    One of the best Restaurants in Gulu City, renowned for Baganda local foods 😋 👌 it is where you eat best local dishes typical of Uganda 🇺🇬 the place is accessible and has ample parking space along the street. Very good reception and customer care and best service so far in local foods. Amazing experience when you are in Gulu. They are the best so far in Baganda foods

    Lovely place in Gulu to enjoy the Ugandan local foods. Go in for a hot lunch with a break from work as they can serve you very fast.

  • 4/5 Robin Y. 1 year ago on Google
    I love this little spot. It serves local Ugandan dishes with a bit more emphasis on Buganda food, with the great matoke. The atmosphere is not sophisticated but the staff are friendly, and it's popular and economical.
