About The Hickory

Tucked away along Ngabo Road, The Hickory offers a peaceful contrast to the usual city rush. Step inside and you are immediately greeted by a vintage atmosphere, where warm and muted lighting sets an easygoing mood for a long lunch or a quiet evening out. Unlike many crowded dining rooms around town, the layout here gives you plenty of breathing room between tables, making it an inviting spot to properly settle in.

The kitchen keeps things diverse and satisfying, covering everything from juicy burgers that steer clear of being dry to expertly grilled meat skewers, hearty plates of spaghetti bolognese, and well-plated seafood. Pair your meal with a pour from their varied selection of imported wines or a drink from the bar as day shifts into evening. The servers are approachable, smiling, and attentive, keeping the experience smooth from the first course right down to the final dessert.

Great food, burger was good, not dry :). The chocolate fondant could have been better it was more of a chocolate cake.

Food was overly priced. And not seasoned at all. We had flies roaming our table and the waiters didn’t even do anything about it. They served us a wrong order and refused to return it. Our overall experience was so bad and no one even cared . Wouldn’t recommend it to anyone visiting Kampala

I recently dined at the hickory restaurant that truly impressed me with its exceptional ambiance, cleanliness, and spacious layout. The environment was incredibly inviting and well-maintained, providing a sense of comfort and relaxation. Unlike many congested dining establishments in Kololo, the hickory restaurant had ample space between tables, allowing for a comfortable and private dining experience. The attention to cleanliness was evident, with spotless tables, polished silverware, and immaculate floors. Overall, I was thoroughly pleased with the restaurant’s commitment to providing a pleasant and hygienic dining environment. With Small but secure parking space, street parking is also allowed and secure.
