πŸ‘ Good food with a great view. Portion sizes are good, you can easily share a meal. We did find that the waiter was very distracted and ordered the wrong food. When this was brought to her attention she asked 'don't you eat chicken?' I had ordered green Thai curry with beef. Eventually I got the meal... People often mention view, good, great, service,

    Good food with a great view. Portion sizes are good, you can easily share a meal. We did find that the waiter was very distracted and ordered the wrong food. When this was brought to her attention she asked 'don't you eat chicken?' I had ordered green Thai curry with beef. Eventually I got the meal I ordered. Other than that the food was delish. The only negative is the dj, he is very indecisive about what to play, at one time playing two songs at one go.

    A people after my heart. As a Nigerian any restaurant that has fried plantain on its menu in east africa gets automatically 3 stars and the other 2 stars are because of the service, the food, the view and the location. Thank you for taking me on a culinary journey back to the streets of naija. The food is tasty and the team is professional.

    A wonderful location to enjoy a great view over Kigali, particularly during evening hours. We stopped for a drink on there terrace only. Supportive and attentive staff, very friendly.

    The food is pretty good. The restaurant is overlooking Kigali and has a beautiful view. Great sunsets. They could use a signpost though. It took me a while to find it.

    Yummy drinks & a good view! Just a bit more expensive than other places nearby, but I say it's worth it

    Very good service and staff. Food is great as well. Loved the bruchets and the pizza. Not very expensive. Perfect to watch footbal matches or enjoy a quiet cozy night view of the city. Not sure why it is often less crowded. Always playing good english music as well. Love it.

    Fancy looking place. Although I didn't like the food much

  • 1/5 Vasudha R. 2 years ago on Google
    I was the only customer yet the one dish I ordered (special beef noodles) took over half an hour to come. The noodles had been overcooked to the point they were like greasy porridge, or pureed baby food. The people who recommended this place on that hipster map of Kigali should be ashamed of themselves. This place is empty for a reason, and no great view can make up for the garbage they served.

    This place does not have the Asian Menue as shown on the pictures.

  • 4/5 Athanase B. 1 year ago on Google
    The place is lovely, and classic. Good music taste, good food, good service yet the price is not low at all. You can also check the online menu on the website before getting there to avoid surprises πŸ€— You will surely enjoy the place. Cheers πŸ₯‚

    I really only got as far as the reception and then the beautiful and serene restaurant with seating of carved wood tables under huge branching trees. This is a beautiful site.

  • 2/5 Peter O. 1 year ago on Google
    It's more suited to a club than a restaurant.

  • 3/5 Benson O. 1 year ago on Google
    The chef is still learning. The taste of the chicken curry sauce and vegetable rice I ate, was just average. Nothing serious. There is room for improvement. The chicken curry sauce had no value for money. The men's restroom was unkept when I visited the place.

    This Restaurant do not exist anymore !! It turns into a Bar named Shooters ! Lost his beautiful view over Kigali . A kind of warehouse with loud music and lights. Poor service . Fake ambiance. Anyway,... not my type .

πŸ‘πŸ‘ AMAZING RESTAURANT IN KIGALI! Reminds me of Chipotle back in the States. Such high quality food and taste at a amazing price. The average meal is only around $6 for a fantastic burrito. The view is also great from their upstairs area. Will definitely be back!
