...I felt at Home. Ugandan through and through. The ladies serving us were welcoming, courteous, and yes....Ugandan. Great atmosphere too. Mwebale nyo. Mwebalire Ddala.

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Alexander Frank · Oct 2025

I enjoyed the atmosphere in the dining and lounge area as being nice and quiet so I could har myself converse with my fellows. The extra plants and dim lighting helped make a good ambiance. However, the billiard area with the pool was unplayable due to missing pool balls. The overall activity seemed pretty dead. As for food, there were parts of my dish I enjoyed and didn't enjoy. I got Tilapia stew. It was very flavorful, and I loved the soft texture of the tilapia meat itself and the sauce it came with had a very flavorful tomato base. However, being the fish head meant there were too many bones to weed out and that detracted from my experience. Some of the potato sides were a bit bland. The rice tasted great but it was cold. If I were to return, I would get the chicken or ribs with yuca

Deserted, had to turn the lights on when we came in after 6 on a Friday night. Tacky and impractical. Fried calimari tasted like it was baked from frozen, and a lot of our calimari were shriveled and yellow. Very unpleasant dining experience.

★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Nadine Sosa · Jul 2025

This place has shoddy business practice. I ordered 6 chapatis which at $4.28 each is hefty and I only received 3. The total was $32.71. They claimed they called but they lied since I had no missed calls from anyone. Instead they put a sticky note stating they tried calling. They didn’t refund half the amount. I called them and the lady said no refund can be given. That is bad service period. It’s sad that now a days people are so greedy. I truly hope this restaurant work on their hospitality and honest practice. I don’t like deception period.

Had a great time here! The server was amazing ,super attentive and made the experience even better. The music was on point, creating a great vibe. The food did take about 20 minutes to come out, but besides that, everything was wonderful. Would definitely come back!
