    Had the lunch buffet since the waiter kept pushing me away from ordering out of the menu. He even said the lunch buffet is better than the menu. While getting salad, the tomatoes bowl was empty so I asked for more tomatoes but the waiter just shrugged his shoulders and said no more. None of items were labeled so I don't really know what some dishes were made of and the waiter can't explain well in English. Green beans were out and they won't make more. Guess they only serve whatever was made and that's it. The beef ribs were good and so was the chicken, hence the 2 stars. Staff starts eating off the buffet while customers are still eating in the restaurant! Price was 4000RWF for buffet. Lastly, the bananas served were getting black!

    Very delicious and nutricious African food with a varied menu. Very cool environment with sweet Soukouss and Rumba music. Polite, prompt and very helpful staff. Price is surprisingly, in general, cheaper than less delicious food in some other restaurants in Kigali. Guest from Canada

    Super friendly. Food was excellent. The decor made it complete. Tall trees upholding the roof. Still needs a bit of work. Bathroom are basic and need to be cleaned more often.

πŸ‘πŸ‘ This place blew my mind. The menu was so vast my colleague asked the very helpful waiter to recommend both his dishes. Paneer both ways. Tandoori style and then in a dahl. Turns out you can never have too much paneer. Good choice, waiter. I dived in on my own and went for some sort of stuffed potato...

πŸ‘ Our stay was comfortable. That being said, I wouldn't stay here more than a couple of days. The location and restaurant are by far the highlights. The food and service was top notch.
