I went for dinner in this restaurant and ordered Gujrati Thali. They served a thali containing seasonal vegetables, Curry, Chapaties, rice , Papadam and butter milk. The taste was Indian and good combination of spices. The restaurant serves Veg and Nonveg Indian food and African food too. It is in busy place in Jinja.The service was very good. It is a budget restaurant.

Sitting at a river-side restaurant for lunch - wonderful. The ambience cannot be beat. Beautiful looking out at the Nile, thinking of its very long history, and savoring the (huge glass of) wine. The menu was sparse for vegetarians. At the advice of the waitress, I ordered the vegetable wrap though I don't usually like wraps. But it came as a sandwich, with the bread toasted to perfection, and the vegetables plentiful and well prepared. In fact, it was delicious.My friends ordered fish, and it came very impressively standing up on the plate and well baked. They loved it. Service - excellent. Ended with ice cream, which was a good choice, too.We combined this with a cruise, and the combo was unbeatable.

We went here for a lunch. Since I generally have local food when travelling, I decided to stick by it and ordered a platter of local food. I wasn't happy with what was served. The posho wasn't hot enough and the curry to watery. In all I didn't enjoy my meal. My colleague had ordered a Biryani and he found it to be OK.

The food was pretty AMAZING. After our trip to the Source of the Nile, and prepping to head back to Kampala; we were ravenous!! Someone wanted ice cream and we were very, very pleasantly surprised so we decided to order a late lunch. Pizzas, fish-fingers, chips and a few other things - can't quite remember... But we all enjoyed our food thoroughly (kids too). The service was great - the waiters were very attentive and patient. The only oil in the ointment was the bathrooms - you can see that this isn't really a focus point for management. That's the only reason I didn't give them 5 stars!

We ate outside along side of the River Nile at it's source and had an excellent view of the river and Lake Victoria. The fried whole Talapia is their specialty and I recommend it. It was delicious. It came with fries and a few unknown veggies. We ordered cold Nile Beer and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly.

Directed here by the positive Trip Advisor reviews we were slightly scared looking at the place from the outside... but the inside garden is lovely! The staff is very kind and the food is decent, you can even find good vegetarian options (I had the avocado wrap).And of course, wifi works well, which is an immense plus ^_^

Spent four days in Jinja and this quickly became a hangout spot to be with locals, eat local food or even learn how to make the chapatis (Rolex) for a fee. Tasty, fresh, quick customizable food to go. The guys who run the place are fun to speak with, the place is a local hangout. You can have a different Rolex each time you go, there are many fillers to choose from. Delicious, cheap, and hot...

Enjoyed a lovely meal with friends under the trees. Great ice cold beers and food was a good way to end the day. Curry was great. Food maybe took a little long to come, but we enjoyed some pizzas to share as starters. Thank you for your review, we are humbled to hear from you and to let us know you enjoyed your visit at All Friends Restaurant. Sorry about the delay in the delivery of your order but it is due to the fact that our food is prepared fresh which takes some time to get ready. Thank you for your patience though and we look forward to hosting you again. Come as a visitor and leave as a friend.
