We really loved everything about our dinner here. We had called ahead and reserved a table for 4 people outside on the verandah. We were advised what time was best to arrive to avoid any chance of lake flies. When we arrived, our table was ready and the advice on timing was perfect, not a lake fly to be seen.The couple we were with have traveled to Thailand before so we let them take care of the ordering. I couldn't tell you exactly what dishes we had, but I can tell you that it was all delicious. We had some soup to start, satay and for the main course we had an assortment of dishes with chicken, prawns, rice and of course Pad Thai. Everything had a lot of flavour and popped with flavors. I have eaten Thai food before but this was on another level. It was nice to go with 4 people so we were able to try a nice variety of dishes. We didn't try any of the desserts as we didn't save enough space, maybe next time! The owner of the restaurant came over and checked on us and even remembered that my husband had called to make the reservation. Service at its best. The wait staff were great as well, everyone was attentive and professional.The atmosphere is pretty darn nice. A large palm tree next to us swaying in the wind and a vast array of tropical plants and shrubs in the garden. The moon was full that night which only added to the ambiance. We could hear the waves crashing on the shore of the lake across the street so we really felt like we were on a beach holiday. Although it wasn't coming from the Thai Garden restaurant, shortly after we arrived, we could hear cultural singing and drumming from the establishment across the street. It really make for nice background music without being annoyingly loud.The bathroom inside was tastefully decorated and very clean.I tell everyone that I meet passing through Entebbe that they should have a meal here. It's absolutely great and I can't fault it on anything. Thanks to all the staff there for a job well done. I'll see you on my next trip to Entebbe! Hi miss_giraffeI think this response may be the longest review we have had. Don't know how to thank you for taking the amount of time you put into such a rave review. Not only did you positively comment on the food and atmosphere you even commented on the toilets. This is the most thorough review I can remember in quite some time.Hope to see you and friends again and we will TRY to impress again. Can't guarantee the waves crashing on the shore will be there but the rest should be the same.Best RegardsPaul & Jum

After flying for nearly 20 hours, you want two basic things: a hot shower and a cold beer--in whatever order. But then you also want a bed that doesn't feel like a cement slab, and you want something decent to eat to compensate for all the starchy airline meals. When you have staff that rush out to take your bags and usher you to private cottage that is tasteful, fragrant with jasmine and petals strewn across the linens, you feel special, royal and welcomed.The cottage balconies are tucked away just so--your only neighbours are the nesting sunbirds and hornbills above. This is the best place for sleepy morning coffee--which can be delivered to your outdoor table.Back to the showers--they are steamy. There is no water interruption or lukewarm letdown typical of other Ugandan hotels. The design is one that we'd like to recreate in a future home with a pebble bottom and exposed stone walls. Unfortunately one of our bags didn't travel with us all the way from Toronto--it was mysteriously held up in Addis Ababa for five days. The staff at Gately were diligent in calling the Entebbe airport every few hours to track the bag. Gately's driver, Julius, went to the airport twice to check baggage on incoming flights (even at 1am). He took my partner back the following morning to check arriving luggage again--to no avail. This could have really soured our experience--as we were travelling without a phone or computer, it was wonderful to have a hotel that was so helpful in assisting us--the manager even provided us with her own stash of shampoo and conditioner.But, baggage aside--waking up at Gately instills calm. Yes, there is traffic--Entebbe is growing, and the entire area is seeing an influx of vehicles and construction. In the very near future a mall will be opening directly across from Gately. Despite being a mild nuisance now, guests will no doubt appreciate the proximity of a mall to purchase forgotten items, western staples and Diesel jeans!Tucked in the Gately restaurant, behind the verdant vines and blooms, the lounge area is still a great place to recoup. I stayed at Gately in 2008--I met the Thai cook who inspired the menu that is heavy with Thai dishes--lots of curries, the best golden spring rolls and soups. As the traveller's demands change, so does the menu--and now Gately has an impressive line-up of burgers too (with a lovely coriander--yogurt condiment). If you want pub-style fare, there are chicken lollipops and fish fingers, samosas and a fancy version of the infamous Ugandan rolex. We stayed four nights and ate our way happily through the menu. The green curry and pad Thai were easy faves--though the burg and fries were also top notch. I'd also play favourites with the Cobb salad loaded with bacon and blue cheese and local avo.Breakfasts are a delight--stacks of pancakes with honey and crushed peanuts, granola and fresh fruit or the British hangover style--with beans, sausage and eggs. The portions are stuffing--you won't need to eat again until dinner.At Gately, you are quick walking distance to everything necessary to see--an artisan's market is just across the street, the Botanical gardens, the zoo, boats to Ngamba Island and Anderita Beach. There's even an IMAX theatre in Entebbe now (15 minute walk). You can flag a matatu to Kampala just outside the door or arrange for a private hire through the hotel. It's really the ideal spot to be and to chill out before or after flying home.Or, as the Gately motto suggests, "Relax, you're at home."The restaurant has a smooth soundtrack and the on-site gallery shop is perfect for finding truly unique take-home gifts that can't be found on the roadside. Everything here from the menu to the shop's inventory to the goat skin seat covers and pillow fabric has been curated with a serious design mind.If you appreciate good taste and want all the pleasures of home, it's here. Thanks Gately staff (especially Ruth, both Maggies, Fatima, Chef Margaret, Julius and GM Helen) for tracking down our backpack, lovely service and making our stay so exceptional.

Fast thai food in order.
Reviewed By William A
As some reader's of my posts may recall, my beautiful wife and I both enjoy Thai food. Unlike our visit to Soi in Nairobi, my visit to Thammaphon was very nice indeed!I ordered a chicken and veggies dish that was just filled with that beautiful Thai flavour their food is known for. The rice was perfectly done and the portions were huge. Do note, I ordered spicy and it was a very manageable heat and flavor level.The food was hot and fresh, quick order to plate times and top shelf service from my waiter.The ambiance is very Thai beer garden like, the Thai music was a bit on the loud side.Tucked next to the Victoria Mall, it's very easy to find, very safe and just a neat little place.I will be back, come now, you join me then!Enjoy!
4. Entebbe Palm Hotel's Restaurant
Reviewed By Susanne C
Her havnet vi etter Maaya Inn. Ble her i 17 dager. Ble som en av familien. De vasket klær for oss, mot litt ekstra betalt til de som vasket. Basseng ble flittig brukt. Ikke så langt fra sentrum. Matatu (busstaxi) kunne taes rett utenfor hotellet, og dem var det mange av. Eller man kan ta boda (motorsykkeltaxi) Som er lettvindt og raskt. Litt dyrere enn matatu. Men godt når det er varmt, man får luft. Internettet var dårlig på rommet, men bra ute i restauranten, de fikset det siste dagen vi var der, da hadde vi brukbar dekning på rommet.
