Right on the banks of Lake Victoria -- lovely place for a leisurely lunch. Good veggie pizza. Others in our party had fish (right from the Lake!), chicken tikka wrap, and burger.

The Deli unashamedly targets the "Mzungu" market of expats, volunteers and kayakers who come to the vibrant tourist town of Jinja in eastern Uganda. And it does it well. Foods available are for western tastes. There are a range of sandwiches and wraps available or you can customize your own. Very good coffee as well. They are located on Main Street, right next to the Post Office. The Deli is very well run and service is good. As the name suggests they also have a deli section where you can obtain a range of products that are not available elsewhere in Jinja. They also sell a range of handicrafts including cute toy animals that are knitted by local women from the nearby village of Bujagali. Good wifi connectivity and a place where you tend to find out what is going on in Jinja while indulging in some good quality comfort food to remind you of your mzungu home . . . wherever that might be.

Eco FriendlyWe stand for evironmental protection, we loved the fact that the whole place is Eco Friendly, including the showers that are solar backed.

See pictures below.4. Amenitiesâ ParkingEnough Parkingâ OutdoorsSwimming PoolWhat we didn't love.1. Being the party people that we are, we missed the loud music and TV. 2.

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.

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.
