This place needs a generator. I hope they get one soon.Without it, the first 3 items I tried to order could not be prepared because there was no power.Finally, I was able to order the pasta with spinach sauce, and it was pretty good. My friends who ordered meat and fish were very pleased.Selections were good for a vegetarian...except if there's no power. For an appetizer, we had the Mediterranean platter (I forget what they call it) with guacamole, tzatziki, humus, and olives. All delicious.The place is beautiful - we sat on the lawn. No lights except the lantern on our table.All in all, worth trying again on a night when Entebbe has electricity.

I was staying at a hotel nearby, and decided to venture out. A country national was walking by, and I asked him if there were any local pork joints around the area. He walked me to the nearby restaurant, and I asked a young lady whether the pork was ready. She was in the middle of grating the onions, garlic, and ginger into the meat, and told me it would be an hour wait. I sat down , had a beer, and took in the atmosphere which was clean, spacious, and friendly. I had to utilize the bathroom, and walked into a very big bar with pool tables, and lots of sports memorabilia on the walls. The owner was sitting at the bar, and I got a chance to chat him up. I got a glimpse at the rooms which were clean ,and very spartan. Once the pork was ready, I ate to my heart's content because it was so good, and worth the wait.

The decor here is great, what a lovely bar! Visited here twice, first time for Tilapia which was gorgeous. Second time the owner (James) cooked us a traditional English Roast dinner! What a guy! Highly recommend it here!

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.

This is my second time to eat here. Food is actually quite reasonable, or even at least it was. I can't tell about this time because I haven't gotten my food even I made the order one and half hours ago. After giving negative feedback to staff about it, they locked up. There's one family who ordered before us. I recommend to eat here only when there's no one else before you. Kitchen is not really organized. Dear Ukkol,Thank you for taking the time to advise us of your recent visit and your phone call enabling me to confirm and address the issues you highlighted. Iâm very disappointed the food took far too long to be served and the poor service you received. This level of service is certainly not acceptable and will be addressed individually with the team and also with improving management processes. Thanks again for your feedback which will help us improve upon the service that we provide to our valued guests. Please accept my apology and I hope you will consider revisiting us again.Best RegardsLiam GriffinGeneral ManagerPrecious Restaurant

Three of us had dinner here last week, the food was just above average, which was a shame as I have had coffee and cake here before which was excellent. Sitting outside with the lake flies and mosquitoes was okay, although prepare yourself to be bitten. The food needs some work.

I visit less frequently since moving away from Entebbe but it's always great to return for the views, service and excellent food.The only possible criticism would be the credit card surcharge now applied when paying, which isn't mentioned on the menu or anywhere else. Ok, 3% shouldn't be too much of an issue for those able to afford Faze 3 but it could be made known earlier - on the menu perhaps.A similar surcharge is being applied elsewhere in Entebbe and the suspicious amongst us could wonder if it's really bank-related or just a way to boost revenue.
