Inhabited since the 11th-century, what is now Kigali has been the home of Twas, Tutsis and Hutus. The city sits on a series of verdant ridges and lush valleys, and has a Muslim Quarter and a bustling market. Rwanda's capital is the site of battles that left over a million, mostly Tutsi and moderate Hutus, dead. Kigali Memorial Centre is a permanent memorial to 1994's Genocide, built on a mass grave where 250,000 are buried. Kigali City Tour Bus offers an excellent introduction to this now safe, friendly city.

Really cool place to have a meal. Great atmosphere and vibe in the place. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the menu (both Chinese and Indian cuisine) were huge and well varied. Nobody struggled to find something and I think everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meal and there were around 12 of us dining. Prices are also very reasonable. The main let down was having to wait for over 30 mins on a bill or payment being taken. We got to the stage where we were close to walking our because we had asked so many times and nothing was done to bring the bill over so that was a bit disappointing. Overall this is a great place to have a nice authentic, Asian meal and I would recommend and return but bare in mind the long wait for service. Dear Patron,Thanks for the feedback on our food and service, reviews like this helps us to reflect on the areas which we need to focus and improve on. We shall look forward to your next visit & get our act right henceforth.We are very happy to know that you liked our food.Big Thanks from Zen Oriental Cuisine Staff & Management.

This restaurant has good, healthy Asian food. A little pricy. They have an outside fire pit with chairs for lounging. Good view of the city. Parking is a bit of a problem. Very helpful servers.

The place is a true blend of Japanese and African traditions. When you walk in, you are welcomed by a Japanese nod and then you are surrounded by an ambient decorated with African burst of colors and texture. We liked the sushi and musubi rolls very much. I did not like the curry with rice much because the curry sauce seemed to be too thin. And the staff might have some communication issues. One very kind waiter ended up giving us an extra rice bowl when we asked for (and showed him) extra rice while ordering a curry dish with "unlimited rice" offer. Otherwise, it is a very nice place. You can see the Japanese owner and another cook cutting the fresh ingredients when you enter. The price is also good. My husband loves this place.Thank you very much for visiting us and your positive feedback.I'm very sorry for your bad experience for curry with rice. We try to improve and increase quantity and I remind all waiter and waitress about unlimited rice offer.We are preparing for reopening, new menu, price and concept. I hope to serve you again near future.

I'll start off by saying the service at Japanda is excellent. As an absolute Japanese food novice it was great that the waiters knew their menu and were happy to make helpful recommendations. Unfortunately, the food wasn't as great as I had anticipated, perhaps with a couple more tries it will get better. However, I wasn't impressed by the 8.00pm last call, having arrived shortly after 7.30pm we literally had 30 minutes to make our orders and be absolutely sure that we wouldn't want anything extra. In addition, any establishment of repute should be open to accepting Visa or Mastercards! There is a big drive to go cashless in Rwanda that itâs disappointing that the owners had no qualms about boldly stating on the first page of the menu that they do not accept cards.
