Super slow Over priced Mediocre food Just go to local restaurants on the street
Overpriced, slow, and poorly served. The whole meal took two and a half hours before the food was finally all on the table. We ordered fish, but the kitchen served chicken instead. It then took nearly 30 minutes just to get a response from the staff. A waiter eventually admitted the first server had made the mistake — but offered no solution. We assumed the fish was on its way. After several reminders, they simply brought the same chicken back, saying it had already been used. Since this was our first meal in Rwanda, we chose not to argue and asked for the bill. That took forever too — and when it finally arrived, the fish we never received was still on it. At that point we asked for the manager. We had to ask three times, and he only appeared after we said we would leave without paying. One more thing worth knowing: our dishes came with no staple/side, and as foreigners we had no way of knowing. The waiter took the order and walked away without a word of explanation. We arrived not particularly hungry, became hungry waiting, and somehow left hungrier and more frustrated than when we sat down. Sharing this as a reference for others.
Exquisite for sure
