Must-Try Ugandan Dishes on our Ugandan cuisine and culinary adventures

Matoke

A staple in Ugandan cuisine, matoke is made from green bananas, peeled, boiled, and mashed. Often paired with meat stews or groundnut sauce, this savory and slightly sweet dish perfectly complements the rich flavors of the main course.

Rolex

Not a watch, but a beloved Ugandan street food! A Rolex is a rolled chapati filled with scrambled eggs, vegetables, and sometimes meat. Enjoy it as a quick breakfast or on-the-go meal, experiencing the vibrant flavors of Uganda’s streets.

Luwombo

A traditional Ugandan stew slow-cooked in banana leaves, Luwombo is rich in flavor and history, often prepared with chicken, beef, or mushrooms. It’s a must-try for anyone seeking authentic Ugandan culinary experiences.
