Read MoreThe Lawns: Try Wild Game & Exotic Meats in Kampala
Are you tired of the same old steaks, ribs and chops? Ever thought about wildebeest, or crocodile as a main course? Well why not live dangerously and these meats a try at The Lawns.
The restaurant is set in a spacious garden on Impala Avenue, off Upper Kololo Terrace. The Lawns is a venue for a variety of occasions from lazy Sunday afternoon drinks, cool evening jazz, date night with your partner or happy hour from 5-7pm with colleagues. The Lawns ticks a number of boxes in the Kampala restaurant stakes.
There are comfortable sofas on the lawn in which you can hide, and a covered dining area for a more intimate dining experience that shelters you from the elements as well as a cosy bar with screens for those wanting a venue to watch that all-important match without the crush of the crowds in other places. During big sporting fixtures, such as the World Cup and Wimbledon, a large screen is erected for better viewing. To entertain the children, there are a number of semi-tame rabbits who hop across the lawns. As yet, they only appear outside and not on the menu!
While the pleasant ambiance is a draw the Lawns is best known for the exotic options on its menu.
Meat: Wild meats to be specific. The Game Platter (52,000 UGX) is perhaps the most famous menu item, with a selection of 10 oz of wild meats, including kudu, impala, crocodile, wildebeest, ostrich, springbok and blesbok. Helpfully, the meat arrives with flags bearing the name of each meat. The platter is served with potato wedges, sautéed vegetables, and a range of delicious dips such as tamarind, garlic mayonnaise and chilli chutney. The meat is well cooked but tender and in the case of boks, carry such subtle and delicate flavours, that the dips are almost overpowering. Not all of the wilder options are available every day, so if you are after one in particular, it is worth phoning ahead to check the supply.
In addition to the mixed platter, unusual meats find their way into fusion dishes elsewhere on the menu. Ostrich works well in a burger, providing a moist, but not fatty, alternative to the regular beef variety. It also works surprisingly well as meatballs in a traditional Indian kofta curry sauce. For those in the market for a really wild night with friends or family, there is an option of a crocodile tail at 150,000 UGX. This is definitely one for sharing, and must be ordered in advance.
If you prefer your wild animals in a park rather than on a plate, there are plenty of other good choices on the menu. A range of sizzlers give an interesting twist on the usual muchomo, and there is a distinctly Indian influence which provides for exciting fusion dishes. Vegetarians might find their selection limited but the Paneer Shaslick (14,000 UGX) comes highly recommended for veggies and non-veggies alike.
The restaurant is open seven days a week from lunch time until reasonably late and just launched a new lunchtime menu for those who don’t have the time to linger before returning to their desks. Since service can be a little slow at times, this could lure a number of busy professionals from their nearby offices. However, with lunch starting at UGX 30,000 for two courses, this might not be an everyday lunch choice!
The entire venue is available for private function hire, and there is an air-conditioned conference room for corporate events.
It is worth heading to The Lawns fairly early to take advantage of happy hour, and to ensure a space in the limited car park. For those arriving a little later, there is on-street parking in Impala Avenue with askaris.
The restaurant has a website: http://www.thelawns.co.ug/ but better to check their Facebook page which is kept regularly updated with new items and specials: https://www.facebook.com/thelawns.kampala. Should you wish to phone, the numbers are: +256 (0) 414 250 337 or +256 (0) 312 515 373.

Read MoreWhat To Do In Uganda – Tips For Foodies
When you think of foodie destinations around the world, Uganda may not feature on the top list. But, there is a reason that makes Uganda a special foodie destination of its own. Its rich multi-cultural heritage is remarkably worth appreciating as visitors have plenty to experience. In most of the Uganda safari lodges, hotels, camps, guesthouses, etc, visitors are presented with a range of meal choices- all carefully prepared and offering a taste that blows visitors’ minds.
Where you eat matters a lot while on Uganda safaris. There are several eating options to consider in Uganda including restaurants, hotels, lodges, guesthouses, etc. In Kampala, some of the best places- restaurants/hotels to consider eating from include Royal View Hotel, Sheeba’s Palace, Eureka Place Hotel and Suites Ltd, Mediterraneo Restaurant, Café Javas, 2K restaurant, Khana Khazana, etc.
Know your budget
Some places are expensive and others are relatively affordable. As a traveler, you must know your budget and where to eat from depending on your wallet size. There are classic budget, mid-range, and luxury restaurants, hotels, lodges, etc all spread in Uganda.
What to eat- Uganda dishes to try out
Uganda is a multicultural nation and everyone has something to have a taste. Here are some of the incredible dishes to try out Luwombo, Katogo, groundnut sauce, muchomo, posho, and Rolex.
Health Tips-Hygiene
While there is plenty to eat, not all are worth putting in the stomach. Your health matters a lot on any safari. On the streets of Kampala, you will come across people selling food but it is good to be keen on the hygiene of the place before you think of eating something. This is why in most cases we recommend that you settle in a clean and good setup restaurant or hotel in town and have something. Yes, there is plenty on the streets including roasted chicken, meat, etc but we don’t want you to have a running stomach at the end of the day.
Eat local food
Most of the food prepared in Uganda is freshly harvested in the gardens. This means you have rich food with minerals free of preservatives. The restaurant management purchase and cook them, ready for consumption, and no need to refrigerate them. You will be served it hot to allow you to have a true taste of freshly harvested foods.
Be keen while wandering around
While in the search for what to eat, be keen on taxis, trucks, boda-bodas, etc. At times, they don’t alert you and not to be knocked, always stay alert while crossing or walking on the streets. As a pedestrian, you must be super careful while wandering around the streets.
Eat like a local
Uganda is a country of plenty, and if the budget is tight, there are options. You can try out a well-prepared Rolex. This is one of the cheapest foods in Uganda and can be enjoyed in a restaurant or takeaway.
Avoid following crowds
You have seen a crowd running after someone then you follow- this isn’t acceptable. There are many incidences that cause such crowds, perhaps protests, etc, and what follows perhaps teargas. Better to stay alert regardless of the fact that such incidences rarely happen and even when they occur, it is on a small scale.
Be respectful
Uganda is a friendly country- anyone you meet gives a great smile of a warm welcome and while looking for what to eat, don’t be disrespectful. Dress decently while considering the cultures of the locals.
Keep the street clean
After you have used containers of your food, don’t throw them on the streets. Keep them in the container in your vehicle and they will be dumped in a specific location on your arrival at the destination. Besides, avoid displaying your expensive phones while on the streets of Kampala or any city/town.
