Dining is something that human beings cannot do without, so it’s always important to know where to go for such services that better suit your eating desires.
 
Exploring different restaurants in town is an adventure that can make you enjoy a variety of meals that are offered depending on one’s health demands.

Baba’s Restaurant, located at KBC complex that is found at the Kacyiru round about as you are moving towards Kigali City, is another fine eating place which presents almost every cooking tradition and favourite of local foodstuffs.

It’s situated on the first floor, and has a relatively large compound that can cater as parking for customer’s cars. Driving from the city centre to Baba’s Restaurant can take you only five minutes.

Ambience:

The approximately 45-seat half balcony and inside diners’ room is well equipped with a modern kitchen, and serves a combination of traditional and exotic flavours of locally produced vegetables.

The vermilion walls, a classic sitting arrangement of tables and chairs with a squared blue and red colour cloth décor are more impressive and offer optical nutrition to diners who frequent the venue.

Wood art and craft work made locally and put on walls signal a sense of creativity that owners might be having when it comes to selection of the menu.

Employees there seem dedicated and number one priority of the restaurant is respecting a high standard of hygiene. On the balcony, the seating arrangement gives customers a view of Kimihurura green vegetation as melodies intrude from sizable radio speakers and television set.

Well gender-balanced workers, who are experienced and enthusiastic, will not spare a minute before attending to you.

Most customers who regularly flock the restaurant are local people, especially those in business sector, and some foreigners who have the desire to taste African dishes. They always dine as they discuss the beauty of the country and situations challenging mankind.

The restaurant always strives to offer the best traditional dishes prepared by highly respected chefs with a wide experience in cookery.

Decor:

It’s not a well decorated restaurant but the arrangement of the interior kitchen, refrigeration systems, and sweet edibles in glass cages with flowers placed on their top and TV set, all give the dining room an impressive look that will raise your appetite too.

Cuisine:

Baba’s Restaurant serves both fast foods for take-away and the traditional African buffet on a daily routine which goes for only Frw1500 served with a small glass of juice, yet a fanta goes for Frw400.

The buffet includes a choice of at least five starters, seven main dishes and desserts, all left to the taste of the diner. The restaurant also serves pizzas, with pepper complete with fried fillets.

The pizza is marinated and stuffed with ginger and garlic mix garnished with fresh tomato and onion. They serve a variety of vegetables and dessert to supplement the main meals.

Trying out the giant grilled hamburger dressed with plantain salad and the tiger prawns, leaves one’s hunger-raised-appetite fully satisfied.

The restaurant opted for soft drinks only which include Fanta, African Tea, Chocolate, mango fruit juice, passion fruit juice, Inyange mineral water, Red bull and other fresh fruit juices.

Baba’s restaurant is a busy eating place which is frequented by various people because of its hot foods and the cleanliness of the place.

And due to its good meals offered, dining begins 11 a.m. which runs up to – and out - at 2.30 p.m.
