    I loved everything about Inka Steakhouse! The boneless ribeye steak was juicy and well charred.😋 Mashed potatoes were just right and the cream spinach topped it all! My friends had pork ribs which were delicious! Cocktails were perfectly balanced! Ambience is 💯. The service we received was world class! I will definitely be back!

    The only steakhouse I found in Kigali. During the week it was not a busy spot but the flavors and prices were very good. The decor and ambience was beautiful. They had a fire pit that set the perfect mood. I would recommend getting a reservation as this place can definitely get busy. For our group it was perfect. The drinks and selection they offer is definitely a plus. The meal I ordered was there salad and steak. This meal was fairly priced especially for what was offered. The steak was presented on something similar to a cast iron pan. Kept the dish hot and cooked it a bit more. For the review I would give this place a 7.4 out of 10 on that 🔥 scale. As the decor and ambience this place was gorgeous. The food could of been better taste wise. The highlight was there dessert. Don't miss out on it.

    I loved the food! Waiting staff was great as well! The environment was cool, exotic-like and welcoming. Not really a steak person, but the way they handled it whilst serving others, I think I'm going to have to try it next time in there🤗

    This is my 4th visit. We ordered tomahawk steak and porterhouse steak as main dishes, and Caesar salad and fried oyster mushrooms as side dishes. I especially liked the porterhouse steak and Caesar salad. The porterhouse steak was medium rare, very tender and delicious. It was perfect for 4 people to share. I'll come back again.

    The service was absolutely atrocious. We waited over an hr for our food, while other tables received their food. Wait staff refused to bring a manager over and had to be asked more than once. It’s really disappointing to see the quality of service at a place that touts itself as fine dining. It’s far from. Save your money if you want an experience. The tables with visible foreigners were prioritized.

    Delicious! One of the best cocktails that I’ve had in Kigali. I popped in for Sunday lunch and enjoyed every bite of my ribs, creamed spinach, mashed potato, soup. Months later, I’m still thinking about it! Will return soon.

    Inka is a high end steak house. The setting is nice with open spaces and heaters all over for warmth when it gets cold. The steak is good and the tomahawk is really good, though quite expensive. The service is good, nice waiter who explain all the cuts and meat they offer before you actually order which was nice. Loved it.

    My family and I had a very bad experience here. The treatment we received from the wait staff was beyond terrible. They downright refused to serve us the drinks we ordered and appeared enormoured by the group of visible foreigners who arrived well after we did. They dished out warm towels and had the drinks flowing for them in short order. We received no such service and sat looking on in shock and disgust. The manager was apologetic and seemed taken aback by the fact we were totally ignored despite having kids (including a baby) with us. She offered to waive the bill for the meal. I refused the offer outright. I needed them to know we were not looking for a free meal and were more than able to foot our bill. BTW, the drinks never came. Neither did the warm towels. Your staff must do better than this Inka. This was both hurtful and embarrassing at the same time. You are not being represented well.

    The steak was amazing. Ordered the fillet with a side of vegetables. Apart from the sides being a bit garlicky, everything else was perfect.

    Pleasant venue and very mindful service quite saved the day here, for me. My first visit I expected would live up to some of the good that I'd heard. And it nearly did. Only a poor steak, at a premium steak restaurant, pulls down the final score. I'm no fan of the clubby music most places are filled with anymore, but when a family came in some time after me it was soon turned off. So no points off on that, thankfully. Otherwise the environment was great, though there's not much of a view if that's what you're after. I enjoyed the Caesar Salad; even its non-traditional extras gave it a nice lift. Bread and butter at a steakhouse is not to be taken lightly, and they did great on that, too (except for repeatedly trying to take it away throughout the meal, why?!). I had to ask for my wine a second time after the salad but, when it came it was perfect. And the Garlic Green Beans (very, very garlicky) were outstanding, perfectly cooked and generous. Only the steak missed target. I ordered the Filet Mignon, but a sort of tenderloin arrived. It looked nicely grilled, but proved very tough. Again, the servers made a great difference; they quickly realised an issue and wanted to help. "Let us make you another," they asked. I agreed. When that plate came, the meat was perfectly medium rare and delicious. But it was not any recognisable steak. It had been sliced into strips! "To make it quicker," they explained. I did enjoy it, although I felt a bit like a nine-year-old boy who isn't allowed a proper knife at the adults' table... Details aside, I very much enjoyed the meal. I lingered with a second glass of the Malbec (might have been a third, if a first had been timely). Can't say I would order the Poached Apple again, as it was tiny and bland. I can't give up on any restaurant after just one try, even one that falls a bit short. I will hope the best for Inka as I look forward to my next visit.

    I like the atmosphere of the restaurant which makes me more focus on friends and families with a various kinds of steak I can enjoy. The fire also makes calm down and enjoy talk and food at the same time.

    I've been there three times, and I haven't given an invoice for three times.The taste is lower than that of a year ago. The roast chicken is too dry to taste.

    Everything at Inka was top notch : Food, service, and atmosphere. I was looking for a place to celebrate my mom birthday. The staff quickly provide me everyone I needed. They went all the way to help me prepare the surprise. Incredible people and service. I’ll definitely be back. Thank Inka ! You made me fall in love with Kigali

    Amazing steak, very nice place. I have been there few times already.

  • 5/5 DS D. 9 months ago on Google
    Best steaks by far in Kigali. The only place where you get a medium rare if you order a medium rare. Of course you pay for this and the service isn't keeping up with the price

  • 4/5 Oluwatobi A. 4 years ago on Google
    I absolutely loved it! The meal portions were generous, except for the shrimp which was too small compared with what we have back in Lagos, Nigeria. The wait staff were pleasant and courteous. If you’re looking for a good place to eat steak, this is it.

    Cozy lush green environment. Good assortment of steak house meals. Had the burger and trio of cuts. Both good, tasty not mind blowing. Nice staff but could be more attentive

  • 5/5 Lawrence K. 1 year ago on Google
    Dined at the bar as we had no reservation and tables were full. Enjoyed a really succulent steak prepared to perfection. The bartender was switched on and service was top notch. Great experience all round.

    Best rib eye steak I've eaten hands down. Also very affordable.

  • 5/5 Mickael P. 1 year ago on Google
    if you want to eat good meat, this is the perfect place with their wide choice of meats ranging from beef (my favorite) to pork.

    Need a restaurant to eat in kigali? Try here, clean, good food and a great service. Location is quite hiding need a taxi to take you. Not far from the Radisson Blu Hotel convention centre

  • 3/5 Arun S. 1 year ago on Google
    The three stars are the for the positive attitude of the service staff. The fillet mignon with chimichurri had a lack of seasoning and even salt. Why chef why? Yes the meat was soft, juicy and cooked to my choice of being at the state of medium. But the meat quality is just average. Well for the price that they charge, they quality of meat could be way better. Pork dishes were great and I also felt the meat quality of pork was brilliant. It was flavourful, juicy and enjoyable. The service is slow as any place in Kigali on a Friday night. The staff be like, "Yes, I'll bring it right away and disappear for twenty minutes."

    The steak was tender and generous in portion. It is a must go to restaurant if you are in Kigali for the first time.

👍👍 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!
