Restaurant: Hakuna Matata, Kampala, Uganda

This place or actually places is one of my favorites when in Kampala. Hakuna Matata has about 5 -6 outlets spread in the town and its suburbs. If you love pork this is for sure the place to go. You cant miss the place as all of them have the same white tiling style in all the places. The tiles might be broken and in different white and style but this adds to the ambiance.

They serve fire roasted pork and if you are a Pork Ribs lover then you better hit the spot at noon as after that they will be finished. After that the focus is on the pork sticks with 4-5 nice pieces of roasted pork. You just order by the stick and one costs 2000 Ughs. You will get them served with some Matoke, Kassava ,Avocado and salads. Oh and dont forget the nice hot Chilly salt on the side.

If you want you can also order some Katcumbali (dont know how to spell it but thats what it sounds like). This is finely chopped tomatoes and Red onions mixed up.

For those who dont eat pork some of the outlets also have roasted Goat or chicken but the place is definetely a pork place.

They do takeaway also but make sure to be in the kitchen when they pack it so you know what you get as the waitresses sometimes get confused.

For the night rumblers and party animals this is a good place to end the night at. Even though the place might look closed you can still pass through to the kitchen and wake up one of the guys/girls there to get some sticks. I have been there at sunrise on several occasions and the fire is still going so it takes a few minutes. A good way to minimize the hangover ;-)
