    Just like it's name implies, Tamu Tamu is a place to enjoy a good meal. I found this place through GO Kigali on our city tour. It was the spot to sample Rwandan delicacies. It was very enjoyable. Make sure you have some Pilau, some spinach, banana porridge and of course beans! Their juice and smoothie are very nice too. Rumor had it, that Tamu Tamu is the place to enjoy quality meals at affordable prices.

    Nice food, nice taste of all you can order, friendly Owner-manager, even if you are affraid to stain your clothes, they can remove bones to your chicken order, parking is a problem, but you can try to look around parking and for your safety, better find a guard to look after your car.

    The heart of the commercial district with stores of every kind. This is the Rwandan experience of a local restaurant in the shopping district. Filled with locals and good, very low cost, homemade food. No liquor but great tea, coffee and fresh juices. Home spun Rwandan style. Park on side street.

    Abou Tamu Tamu House of Pilau. It was a good experience. The waiters are friendly enough. Respectful. Cleanliness could be improved bigtime. The tables had stains, the floor was dirty with spilt sauces and dust. That was disappointing. The food, however, was amazing. I had the cassava flour ugali with beef, onion and red beans. Pretty much a standard African dish. The beef was soft. The onion mix was tasty and flavourful, the beans were good. And the ugali… mmhhh delicious. 😁 I also had the milk tea. 👌🏾 absolute perfection. I enjoyed my time over there.

    One of the best place in Kigali situated in the TRUE African settings of an African city, called Nyamirambo to have a nice African jellof Rice or Biryani as Rwandans call it. A taste you can't afford to miss once you are in Rwanda. Good customer service and quick delivery.

    Mini Tamu Tamu in Nyamirambo, Kigali, has secured its place as my favorite local restaurant, and for good reason. From the moment you step in, the vibrant atmosphere captures the essence of Nyamirambo's spirit. The cozy setup exudes warmth, making it an ideal spot for a delightful meal. What sets Mini Tamu Tamu apart is its menu, a culinary journey through Rwandan flavors. The dishes, bursting with local ingredients and traditional spices, showcase the richness of Rwandan cuisine. The staff's genuine hospitality adds a personal touch to the dining experience, making each visit memorable. Whether you crave the aromatic brochettes, flavorful stews, or the delightful surprise of daily specials, Mini Tamu Tamu delivers on taste and authenticity. It's more than a restaurant; it's a cultural immersion. The affordability of the menu only sweetens the deal. In the heart of Nyamirambo, Mini Tamu Tamu isn't just a place to eat; it's a haven for those seeking a genuine taste of local life. My culinary adventures in Kigali would be incomplete without this gem. Highly recommended for anyone eager to savor the true flavors of Rwanda in a welcoming and charming setting.

👍👍 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...

👍 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. The room was comfortable, clean but very small and cramped. The shower in the bathroom was falling apart and almost...
