It had been a couple of years since I was at Tamarai. Very quiet and lovely spot. The service was really fast and the food portions were generous and very filling too. We ordered drunken noodles, dim sum, potato wedges, chicken wings and sushi. The cocktails were spot on too- had a pinacolada and a strawberry daiquiri. The bartender was quite generous with the alcohol.

Another lovely evening spent at Tamarai. I have been a number of times over the past few years and their standards are always high. Their service is always on-point, we were served by Lenny last night and nothing was too much trouble. The ambiance is always good and food is stunning. They have a huge selection of food including very tasty sushi. If you are visiting Kampala, for whatever reason, you should visit Tamarai at Kololo. You will enjoy it.

I had an experience learning how to make sushi thanks to the azaming sushi chefs who were patient and great chefs. The atmosphere was also clam and homey which made the experience perfect. Thank Tamari Sushi chefs
