    They have great food and nice desserts. It is also very affordable. For those who have been to the Kenyan ones, its way cheaper than Kenyan Java but with the same quality.

    This is one place I couldn't get enough off. Their meals are not just delicious and tasty, the environment is relatively warm and the waiters are just splendid. I recommend the stemmed rice, with salsa and chicken curry sauce.

    I loved going to the Java House in Kigali Heights. Its the perfect place to go hangout and have a good meal. Every time I went Benon was my server. Always kind curteous and smiles.

  • 4/5 Ssewanyana R. 5 months ago on Google • 23 reviews
    The food took sometime to arrive but it finally did and I liked it. They also surprised me with a birthday cake but it was my GF’s idea. I had a take away and the packaging was good though I wasn’t given a bag to carry my takeaway.

  • 5/5 Cedric I. 1 year ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Java house is a great place where you come work and relax. Enjoying the phenomenal views of kigali near Radisson Blue hotel and Kigali Business center. Plus they have great coffee!

    If you happen to find your self in Kigali and pass up the opportunity to hit the Java House. I am Sad to say that you were either ignorant or misinformed. They roast their coffee at the shop and they really know what there’re all about. Also the food is ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Would recommend!

  • 1/5 Bliss N. 4 years ago on Google
    Poor customer service!!. We did not see our server for the entire meal yet we had told him we would want to order dessert when he took our order. When he finally showed up and we ordered our dessert, it took forever to get it. We had to search for another server to ask him to check on our order. We asked for the bill and that took yet another century before we could get it. We were contemplating walking away without paying since no one seemed to care to check on us. It's an incredible disappointment!!!!!

  • 3/5 Cj F. 3 years ago on Google
    Typically solid food and some of the best service in town. They seem to have switched to a local cheese that's really bad, like renders the entire dish uneatable. Have them hold the cheese, and JH if your monitoring this please switch back to decent cheese and if your out of good cheese, let people know so they can have the cheese held !!!

  • 4/5 Yasin A. 2 years ago on Google
    Great place to meet friends, people watch, and watch the sunset over the Kigali hills. Green smoothie is good if you're into ginger like I am. The coffee is decent. The food is okay, nothing really stands out, but nothing is really bad either. The staff is excellent.

  • 5/5 Andrew M. 2 years ago on Google

  • 1/5 Ozer S. 2 years ago on Google
    I'm here now, I've just finished my dinner and I'm just at the beginning of my second beer and may be I will have another. But the waiter came and should I bring the bill? He asked. Apparently he wants to get other customers to the table, or the manager asked. I'm not one to write negative feedback unnecessarily, but that's NOT pleasant guys please!

  • 5/5 Audrey W. 1 year ago on Google
    The food comes so fast and it’s really really good. I’ve only been there twice but I would love to go there more it’s just that I don’t eat out all the time. Would def recommend for a nice lunch or date!

  • 1/5 RUTERANA K. 2 years ago on Google
    The worst service I've ever encountered in my life. I usually don't like to give reviews but I was strongly disappointed by the services. The food quality especially on burgers(cheese burger and beef burger the buy one get on free offer) is the poorest in the whole of Kigali. Obviously, we as customers we want the best but what we received was a huge mess and disappointment. I'm speechless better improve your services and food quality. In my vantage point, I recommend each and every one to find another place to chill with friends and family not Java 😊

  • 5/5 Elton W. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Hausa L. 1 year ago on Google
    Java is always nice! Great coffee, salads, full meals and nice baked goods. It's a regular go to.

  • 1/5 Hilda B. 1 year ago on Google
    I truly want to say something nice about my experience but I am trying to put words together. I loved the ambiance. Service was not to my expectations. It was a Sunday, we had to chase for the menu, food took long, came cold and the presentation was appalling. Bread placed on the eggs, a miserable slice of cucumber. Had to request for the condiments. Bill took forever. Please up your service and presentation game. I think you have potential.😊

  • 5/5 Raquel 4 years ago on Google
    I’ve come here only twice for breakfast and lunch, but ordered delivery (through Jumia) a few more times. Excellent food and generous servings always.

  • 4/5 ZSR NIG L. 1 year ago on Google
    The attendants were friendly. They even gave me password to their free wifi before I made my order👍. A good place to have meetings and meals. I didn't eat but had coffee which was very creamy and nice 😋

  • 3/5 Victor 11 months ago on Google
    The Carnivore restaurant right next to this place has way better cocktails.

  • 3/5 Lorraine P. 11 months ago on Google
    I ordered the quarter chicken and chips online. Mixed feelings about my experience. The portion was generous, however the chicken was very dry and chewy. The chips were not the best quality either. Yet some how I'll give them another go.

  • 5/5 Aleksey B. 8 months ago on Google
    Delicious food, good view, very friendly staff. Everything was pretty fast despite that fact that the restaurant was full

  • 4/5 I K. 8 months ago on Google
    The food is good but takes a long time to serve. The food is bit too pricy. Good atmosphere though, especially in the evening.

  • 1/5 Dee O. 3 months ago on Google • 1 review New
    I have never had a good experience at Java, first of all the service is awfull. It takes forever to even get drinks, the food today was cold and the staff doesn’t have an urgency to serve their customers on time despite multiple reminders and they act as if we are begging for the food that we are paying for. This has been ongoing for awhile and each time I get disappointed.

👍👍 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!

👍👍 Amazing! Absolutely delicious genuine local cuisine, everything we ordered was pure bliss. We were a huge group, and everybody left absolutely full and satisfied. Waiting was very long though, could be an hour for our group - we had maybe 16 bowls of food, various dishes. Starters came out after 45...
