    I li really love this place. I went to visit Rwanda and this is the first restaurant I went to. The atmosphere is so beautiful, very aesthetically pleasing as well. Good taste great and healthy. Just more on the expensive side. Highly recommend it though

    A hidden gem in the hills of Kigali. Great food, good service! I would recommend their fruit salad and avocado toast.

    Weird, I swore that I did a review already for this restaurant. I’ve eaten in and done delivery from Indabo and enjoyed it tremendously both times. I’ve only had the chicken and waffles, but it’s a favorite dish of mine. Juicy and flavorful chicken, light and fluffy waffles... both sweet and savory done so well in one dish, why bother branching out to other menu items 😉 Edit: skip, skip, skip the cocktails here. It seems like whoever makes the drinks is unfamiliar with how the cocktails are supposed to taste. A mimosa made from sour oranges and other mishaps happen often.

    An amazing and beautiful cozy place. Enjoyable environment. Yummy food with fair price, ..... I went there with my friends and we ordered chicken wrap with Indabo chips, chicken wrap with Normal chips, Chicken with waffles and it was super amazing. I liked their hot chocolate as well..... very recommendable for Couples. And great service with a nice hospitality from the waiters.

    The spacing between tables could be better. In general people were whispering with each other and I wasn't able to butt into their conversation because I couldn't hear anything they were saying. What if they were talking about someone serving free food somewhere? I just lost a chance to eat free food. Do you know how tasty free food is? Brilliant vibe and location. The service is well organized and timely. The food and beverage options are brilliant.

    Coffee is good and the chicken waffles are yummy. They also offer delicious espresso martinis. Prices are above average coffee shops in town. I have gone many times and I enjoy the atmosphere and plants display (good wifi connection). Service can be terribly slow, especially when it's crowded.

    Upscale Cafe in the center of Kigali. Everything was excellent, but it does come at a high price (for Kigali standards). I definitely recommend if you want something else than your hotel breakfast/lunch

  • 2/5 Merveille K. 1 year ago on Google
    Did not live up the hype. The food is okay, the drinks are better. The two stars are for the passion fruit mojito I had, it was the only thing to rave about. The pace of service is dismal to say the least. My friend's order of a cheeseburger took about 1.5 HOURS. After noticing that people who had arrived after us were being served their food before us, we decided to leave. And it was then that our order miraculously became ready. We ended up having to take it with us because we had ran out of time. I got the avocado toast with sunny side up eggs, yet the bread was NOT toasted. But, I'm very laid back with such things, so I let it slide. However, the negligence and overall snail's pace in handling orders is simply intolerable in this day and age!!!

    It's been an amazing experience, beautiful place with lots of plants and great food/wine/coffee and the rain coming made it even better to sit and listen to raindrops.

    Great place to do a bit of work or catch up with a friend. The food and coffee are both very nice, I’ve only come for breakfast. Garden is very peaceful and beautiful.

    I had the breakfast wrap, expecting more as it was only mince in a wrap nothing else to accompany it. Staff make you feel as though you are being an inconvenience by going there. However the place is located well. Overall I wouldn’t return

  • 5/5 Rand S. 6 months ago on Google
    Great food and nice garden

  • 4/5 Russ K. 4 months ago on Google
    A pretty upscale place with upscale prices. Feels like a coffee shop in Europe or Canada complete with many nationalities. But bear in mind most of the people you meet in your day would never be able to afford to come here...

  • 5/5 FOLA F. 7 months ago on Google
    Great food. I recommend the chicken wrap. It's a great place to work if you like fresh air and enjoy natural plants. it's quiet too. Even with the brunch crowd coming in at about 11am

  • 5/5 Florencia Caro S. 9 months ago on Google
    I came one afternoon to work from here and I really enjoyed the place, the food and especially the service. Staff were really nice and make you feel like at home. Would definitely come back next time I’m in Kigali

  • 5/5 Marcus M. 10 months ago on Google
    Just great! We go here, as so many others do, for Sunday brunches and to just hang out. Great food, great service, and super nice!

  • 5/5 Jo G. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely cafe, very calm and serene. Staff is very friendly, they even helped organize my trip to the airport when my rental care broke down on the last metres and took care of it until it could be picked up, really saving my life! Food is very delicious and drinks refreshing. Definitely a go to place in Kigali!

  • 4/5 Spencer J. 11 months ago on Google
    This would be the undisputed best spot in Kigali for brunch and lunch if they figure out a way to speed up service, even just a little bit. Food, coffee, drinks are all excellent. Atmosphere is excellent, just maybe a bit understaffed.

  • 5/5 REGINA R. 11 months ago on Google
    Peaceful and have kid play area..and nice and healthy foods.i love to go back again.

  • 2/5 Becky 1 year ago on Google
    It is a very cute cafe! Lots of plants which make it really beautiful. However, the food was very little and the customer service was not the best.

  • 5/5 Kevin N. 1 year ago on Google
    I have tried several coffee shops in Kigali thus far. This is the best one yet. They have good coffee. I liked that they have plugs for each table. My computer's battery was down so that came in helpful. But the internet is what sold the place for me. It was fast. I tested it and the download speed was 77Mbps.

  • 2/5 Salome R. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice and cozy place but completely overpriced and terrible service. It took us forever to even get a menu and more than an hour to get food. The staff is not friendly either. Sad for such a beautiful spot….

    great homemade lemonades. great burgers on Thursday. Great place for lunch!

  • 5/5 Erik K. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice place with terrific outdoor space design, tasty meals and mild-roast coffee (i am not fan though). Kind stuff with quite good english :)

👍👍 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...
