    Just visited for a cup of coffee. The atmosphere was great and staff friendly. Coffee was good, too. It is a great venue tobrelax and take in the view of kigali.

    I really loved this place. The food was great and prices were extremely reasonable. Of course the best feature was the views of the city which were wonderful for sure. I also loved the bathrooms... which overlooked the city view rather than looking at a wall. Wonderful!

    Great view of the city, good food, they do not take advantage of the location, the prices are not high at all, same as on the ground, the salads are small and not great.

    A very good restaurant with excellent views. The music is also great. I just had a cup of Rwanda tea latte and it was amazing. However, the waiters are quite slow and it takes forever to get their attention to serve you. But all else is good

    The view is fantastic, the atmosphere is also good, but we were not lucky with food, chicken was dry and didn't taste good

    what can i say, good food and service was very good. I had a good city and mountain view of Kigali while we are having our dinner. I highly recommend for tourist and locals to try their selection of food.

    I’m giving this restaurant an overall 5 out of 5 but rated the food 4 out of 5 because of the cake we were served. It was pretty dry. However, the server was super nice and the view is absolutely magnificent at night.

    Great view and vibe but the food was bad.We were six but only one person like the food :-(. I had a beef tenderloin bt it was tasteless. The service is quite slow.

  • 2/5 Cynthia N. 1 month ago on Google • 4 reviews New
    Beautiful view of Kigali. Drinks and bartending was great. However, the hostess Meggy Sheyija and waiter Shema’s horrific attitudes spoiled the atmosphere. There’s still some service training needed. You can get better views and better service elsewhere.

  • 5/5 José Carlos M. 8 months ago on Google
    Having the root music in the rooftop was sky rocket experience... I loved it.

  • 5/5 Akilaseat 7 months ago on Google
    You have to check this if you are in Kigali. Could as well be the best view in town.

  • 5/5 edouard g. 8 months ago on Google
    Nice place to relax and very nice views of thousands hills

  • 5/5 Sahil P. 7 months ago on Google
    End a day of sightseeing around Kigali with a visit here in the evening. The view is amazing. The lights around the Kigali night skyline are beautiful. It has huge open windows inspite of being on rooftop. Nicely ventilated, good food, great service, lovely ambience. Relatively inexpensive. Must visit.

  • 3/5 Vysakh R N. 2 years ago on Google
    The best view in town coupled with the worst service for a restaurant aspiring to be an upmarket eatery. Staff lack training, kitchen is extremely slow. Food is decent but nothing to write home about.

  • 4/5 Dwi A. 4 years ago on Google
    Great place to have lunch or dinner and enjoy the beautiful view of Kigali. There is also a great music. A place you should visit when you in Kigali.

  • 5/5 Janti m. 9 months ago on Google
    You get to experience the view of the entire City of Kigali with a nice foodie menu.

  • 1/5 Orijin F. 10 months ago on Google
    The DJ was on point. The place is beautiful. But… the service was horrible. We arrived at 20:40 and only received our food at 22:00. The manager is obnoxious, rude and condescending, pointing to the table and basically telling me to go sit down and eat my samosas. I was with a group of 13 people to celebrate a birthday. I return every 6 month with different groups from abroad. I will definitely not be returning, nor recommending this place.

  • 3/5 Gary B. 2 years ago on Google
    I struggled with this one... And perhaps a 3 is harsh but it was a real mixture of opposites. Stunning views : average food. Some great staff : some really not. So I think the 3 is more about consistency and the promise of a rooftop experience that tries hard to happen. On balance I would go again as it deserves to be as brilliant and the views of Kigali!

  • 5/5 Ambes M. 1 year ago on Google
    Best view of kigali. Cut i liked the canopy better than what they have installed now. Food is good service is somehow ok. Price is on the higher side, not an every evening place.

  • 5/5 Tim G. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome view. Nice and clean facilities. Good service. Good food.

  • 1/5 Tracy P. 1 year ago on Google
    Great view. Food microwaved. Not good quality. Ok price. Great customer service. Staying here a while in hotel, won’t be back.

  • 3/5 Russell R. 4 years ago on Google
    Fabulous setting and views (5 stars) but the speed of service and the food was very average (3 stars). As others have said, if your are looking for good food and service you will be disappointed. Nevertheless, it is worth a visit for the view.

    The beautiful view & soulful music allows you to drift into the deepest of thoughts that leave you in perfect bliss...

  • 4/5 Fasoranti D. 4 years ago on Google
    I really don't know how to describe my feelings about Rooftop Rendezvous. My host in Kigali was like, 'ah, you can't leave this city without visiting' Well, I am glad I did. It was a great scenery of the city from the rooftop. I love the view and it was break-taking. Just to soak in the ambience of the hotel is pleasurable on it's own, takless of the music and all other things. Take your time to visit too on your next trip to Kigali and see for yourself. Great and respectful staff too.

👍👍 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...
