We arrived early and had a bottle of red wine to start of our Experience. The atmosphere and decor was great and again friendly staff that wanted to please. The Sunday brunch was served with lots of choice and very well presented. Plenty of food and they kept topping up all though lunch so no need to rush. Also there was a bar b q with skewers of beef and chicken. Crepes or various deserts were served and again very tasty.Thank you. It was also nice seeing you for dinner last night !

This is a lovely little restaurant. Set inside a compound with covered or open sitting areas amongst a pretty garden with colourful tablecloths/ napkins and pretty lighting. The food didn't disappoint either; a varied menu with the food freshly made and plentiful, our personal favourite was the Bang Bang Shrimps starter - amazing! Good house wine at a good price made for a really nice meal at a reasonable cost. Visited more than once as we were so impressed. Thank you very much for leaving a review Carole! Happy you enjoyed your experience at Gida's Garden:)

I have been coming to Gambia for a number of years with friends.On this occasion I was eating on my own and did not welcome the manager hugging me across the shoulder..too familiar for someone I've never met before.I ordered a chicken dish and the chicken was so tough I couldn't finish it.One place to avoid.

Captains Table is a restaurant, which is a little different than most, the food is well presented in an outdoor setting, not the hustle and bustle, a very peaceful quiet setting. Captains Table is part of The Bakotu Hotel

The previous positive reviews are 100% correct regarding this small restaurant situated on the busy main highway through Kololi. The restaurant has tables inside and outside in a small sectioned off part of the car park. This area has been tastefully laid out with large plants. The menu has selections of Gambian cuisine, steaks and fish dishes; there is a nice selection of starters and desserts. Cocktails are excellent and probably the best value in Kololi (200 dalasi or £3.30)The fish platter consisting of 4 various sorts of fish/shellfish was terrific at around 700 dalasi (£11), the lobster spring roll starters and lemon sole main course was very good at about the same price for both. Service is first class and swift. Loved it.

Reviewed By 158barbaral
We have been visiting NGala Lodge for 20 years and always think of it as a special place where everything is just perfect and all our family see it as a real treat. However it is most certainly not the place it was. We have seen various chefs, owners, management and front of house come and go and although the setting is still lovely nothing else is. None of the choices I made for my three courses were available and the ones I eventually settled for were disappointing. The fish I chose for my main course was over cooked and dry and the pudding inedible. The bill, for The Gambia, was expensive at almost £50 per head. By contrast we visited a tiny and very basic roadside cafe with a friend and had the most superb grilled and marinated gambas with a delightful and carefully prepared salad and home cooked chips followed by the best chocolate brownie I have ever eaten for under £8. NGala used to be a very special place, it no longer is .We are very sorry that your experience this time was not as it has been in the past. Quality supplies are our biggest problem, but that does not excuss us for the cooking standards. I am sorry.
