Uganda can be one of the top experiences you have ever had or it can be a nightmare from hell if you don’t know where you can get food.

Yet you can get the best service you have ever had anywhere or receive a shrug of indifference by a wait-staff person.  Experiences vary for visitors to Uganda from the best ever to one of bordering on “I can’t believe this.

In Kampala, Entebbe, Jinja and other larger towns in Uganda you have countless of choices of various Ugandan Style, Chinese, Turkish, Greek, Indian, Thai, Korean, Japanese, Asian Fusion, French, Belgian, American including Hamburgers,  Italian including great pizza, South African, East African, Ethiopian Cuisine and more.

For those staying in Kampala, there is choice of eating at Uhuru Restaurant on Wilson Street, which is the home of pilau; it has become a household name and a great choice for tourists, local visitors as well as residents.

This classy, open-air Ugandan restaurant in atmospheric surrounds features simple decking in an African setting, lit at night with the help of KCCA (Kampala Capital City Authority) lights. The local chef creates fantastic authentic dishes including thin-crust pizzas and handmade pastas but with emphasis on pilau.

They also serve up steaks and gourmet mains such as grilled rock lobster. Reservations are recommended and food delivery is also taken into consideration.

The aptly named Uhuru(peace) is a lovely pilau restaurant where carnivores wanting something different can feast on anything from burgers and wildebeest steaks to fish in garlic wine sauce. If you’re really into the idea, go the pilau platter or the 1.5kg goat that feeds four. Less adventurous diners won’t be disappointed with goat steaks. Thankfully the cute bunnies roaming the grounds aren’t on the menu!
