    Stopped to get something to eat. The food was good and inexpensive. There is a market inside the building, the prices were good and we ended up buying some coffee and tea.

    When retuning from a long trip from Eastern Uganda, it's a must stop spot. Great coffee shop

    On your journey to Jinja, this is a good place for a cup of tea/coffee and snacks. You could also get the African buffet. I really like their Dawa tea (minus the turmeric).

    Igar Cafe has decent food and a great buffet. We have yet to have a dessert that was any good. I do not recommend the desserts at all no matter how good they look. The food is good but a bit expensive.

    I think the restaurant has the best Pilau ever. The food is unbelievable. In quantity and manner of cooking. Be that as it may, the place is not as swanky as a traveller might love it to be.

    A place to eat, a place to pee, a place to fuel and stretch and the best bye-bye to the east. It's a nice place

    Horrible service. The washroom were dirty and the odor alone will have you running to a bush. Over the years, this place has really lost quality delivery and its sad. It used to be the main highways stop in Jinja.

    I stopped over from a long drive from Soroti to catch a quick snack before proceeding to Kampala. I ordered for chips and liver, however, the taste was horrible that I couldn’t finish up despite the hunger. The chef should do better next time.

    Shopping was nice as well as coffee and other hot beverages for those on long distances seeking for a layover

  • 3/5 Mukwana M. 6 months ago on Google • 40 reviews
    It is a highway cafe, which gives a convenient stop over for travellers, either for a snack or toilet convenient. Also a stretch of the legs after a long transit sitting.

  • 4/5 Mark M. 7 months ago on Google • 32 reviews
    They serve a wonderful menu of fast foods for anyone in transit through Jinja, strategically placed as u enter Jinja town after the bridge on both lanes. Try out their coffee

  • 4/5 Okello G. 7 months ago on Google • 31 reviews

  • 2/5 Hosea Katende S. 8 months ago on Google • 7 reviews
    A good stop over place for a quick bite and coffees. Service is good. However since the opening of the new bridge the place on the Jinja Kampala side lost the vibe but still the best stopover.

    I love their African spiced tea and the cold breeze outside at around 8pm. And the fact that the place is spacious enough.

  • 4/5 Ibrahim M. 1 year ago on Google
    Ample parking space, a supermarket, a classic restaurant with both continental and local dishes. The services are good and the food is good.
