Taste of Nigeria in the Heart of Kampala
Authentic Nigerian cuisine, jollof rice, grilled meats, and soul-warming dishes in Kansanga
2019
Bringing Authentic Nigerian Flavors to Kampala
Founded in the heart of Kansanga, Abuja Restaurant and Bar has been serving authentic Nigerian cuisine to the Kampala community since 2019. Our journey began with a simple mission: to bring the bold, aromatic flavors of Nigeria to East Africa.
Every dish we prepare tells a story β of traditional recipes passed down through generations, of carefully selected spices, and of the warm hospitality that defines Nigerian culture.
We source fresh, locally-grown ingredients and combine them with authentic Nigerian spices to create meals that transport you to the streets of Lagos, the markets of Abuja, and the heart of Hausa land.
