👍 Went for my friend's graduation party. The food tasted divine and the buffet had wide offerings. It has both indoor and outdoor seating space (both are beautiful). The waitress was a little slow but overall it was a good time. People often mention buffet, good, lunch, Good, Great, ambience, environment, Nice, town, service,

    It's a beautiful place with very nice food Buffet is really good With a wide selection. It has an outside seating area, can be hot though at lunch (less shade) Service is excellent I would say Being in the middle of the town is an added advantage for a quick bite

    Called ahead and was informed buffet starts at midday but it started at almost 2pm. The food is excellent though! The service and ambience could be better. I liked that it was quiet though (Saturday afternoon)

    Place is cute... but as a paying customer being asked to pay extra to connect to their WiFi? It is a bad joke. Very bad!

    The place is a cozy environment that provides the best buffet lunch in Kampala. it has both outdoor and indoor sitting spaces with very clean washrooms and a snack bar.

  • 5/5 Deli Jonathan U. 1 year ago on Google
    It was a fun filled night(drinks and clean comedy every last Friday of the month) the staff was also friendly and on time.

  • 5/5 Nyangoma J. 1 year ago on Google
    First of all, they are very neat and the place is seated at a higher level yet on the roadside. If you sit out, you will love seeing neighbouring offices or hotels like, uganda bureau of statistics beautiful building and staff coming out of it, sheraton and speke hotel, mosa courts, la bonita theatre are all in viscinity. The immediate other neighbours are the serena hotel, parliament of Uganda and national theatre. The food is fresh and enjoyable, in a cool environment and neat waitresses! No wheelchair access, local foods and specialities available. Home away from home is the set up for a luncheon or dinner. Have approximately $80 inclusive excesses. You will love it! There's coffee, tea, pastries, whatever you may wish for, as long as it is food.

  • 1/5 David K. 2 years ago on Google
    The service is tending towards average. The menu hasn't changed much, the cooking itself has somewhat deteriorated. I can't say I would be keen on going back.

    Good affordable Lunch buffet with Local dishes in the middle of town... Good for small business meetings, Quiet and walkable distance to almost anywhere in town. Service is courteous payments can be done using Visa, Mobile Money and Cash. They can also hold an outdoor roast barbeque as there is a barbeque fireplace within the compound.

👍 We specifically visited this place as we were informed they have the best "rolex" in town. Being a fan of chapati,I can attest that this particular delicacy was super nice. It was nicely done. The customer service is equally very good.
