Jambo Zamsareh (Ugandan) Restaurant

This place is an absolute gem ! Great quality of food and really good service :) It was my first time in a Ugandan restaurant and I was really really impressed! Take the food recommendations from the staff! And finish the dinner with a lovely Ugandan ginger tea Prices may have gone up by a bit by the ones in the menu but still really affordable for what you get Highly recommended!

Delicious Ugandan food. We tried a lot of different dishes. Everything was great. My absolute favorites were the groundnut stew (binyebwa/gnut) and whole fried tilapia with posho and matooke. My Dad was Ugandan and those were his favorite dishes, and they do them very well here. We also tried the goat and beef stews, chapati, samosas and goat tripe soup. If you like tripe, that soup is fantastic and the chapati with the stews are pure comfort food.

I enjoyed every bite of my meal, everything was delicious. The young lady and gentleman that served us were amazing and very friendly. Pricing was spot on very reasonable for such a high quality meal from the heart! I would highly recommend it.

Been here three times. However my recent visit was incredible and blew me and my friends away. The chapatis were out of this world. To be honest, everything was really good. We had to also order more food to take home. The service was also really great.

Great food. I've tried a few Ugandan restaurants in London and this one is the best from far. Amazing chapatis. Lady was very nice too!

Great service and authentic Ugandan food. Created a wonderful atmosphere for my birthday celebration. Great value for money if you are going as a large group. We had a all you can eat buffet at a great price. They are currently refurbishing their decor but we had such a great time that we forgot about it. It was also wonderful to find out that they also support their local community with different initiatives. Thanks again for having us and we look forward to visiting again.

Their food is really delicious ,everything concerning about food is excellent I appreciated their service Thank you.

A Hidden Gem: Zamsareh is a Flavor Explosion You Don't Want to Miss! If you're on the hunt for a no-frills dining experience that doesn’t compromise on authenticity or flavor, Zamsareh is an absolute must-visit. Tucked away as a true diamond in the rough, this restaurant serves up vibrant, mouth-watering dishes that take you straight to the heart of Ugandan cuisine. Trust me, you’ll leave with a full belly and a happy heart. What I ordered: Lamb Samosas – Let’s just say, I devoured these before my phone could even take a photo. Crispy on the outside, with perfectly seasoned lamb filling—these little pockets of flavour are truly irresistible. Goat Tripe Soup – Now, I’m not typically a fan of offal, but this tripe was the softest I’ve ever had. It melted in my mouth and the rich, hearty broth was something I couldn’t stop sipping. Muchomo – You’ve heard of Suya, but if you haven’t experienced Muchomo, you're missing out! The smoky, tender, and juicy meat just bursts with flavor. If there’s one thing every restaurant—Ugandan or not—should have, it’s this. Cow Foot Soup – This caught me by surprise. The cow foot was so tender it practically dissolved in my mouth, and the broth? Rich, flavorful, and utterly satisfying. Each spoonful enveloped my taste buds with deep, complex flavors. It was a beautiful, comforting experience. Chapati – Now, coming from a South Asian background, I’d call this a paratha, not a chapati—but that’s just me being picky! Regardless, it was delicious. If I had to nitpick, I’d prefer it a little thinner, but honestly, that’s just a personal preference. Still, it paired perfectly with everything else on the table. Luwombo (Beef) – When I opened this parcel of goodness, I was genuinely impressed. The sauce wasn’t too thick or too thin; it was just the right consistency to complement the tender beef. I couldn’t finish it all, so I took the leftovers home—and I cannot wait to dive back into it tomorrow! Pilao Rice – This dish instantly took me back to my childhood and reminded me of the Akhni my mum used to make. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the rice was fluffy and flavorful. A beautiful connection between African and Asian culinary traditions. Matooke – This was a first for me, and while the texture was a bit different from the smooth version I’ve had in the past, the flavour was spot-on. I loved the subtle sweetness and the rich taste, and I’d definitely order it again regardless of texture preferences. Binyebwa (Peanut Sauce) – A delightful peanut sauce that was rich and savory, though the texture wasn’t as smooth as I usually like. But honestly, none of that mattered because the taste was so good that not a drop was left on the plate. It was the perfect finishing touch to everything. In a nutshell, Zamsareh serves some of the most authentic and flavorful Ugandan dishes I’ve had the pleasure of trying. The food is simple, but packed with so much heart and history. It’s a perfect place to explore flavours that you won’t find anywhere else. Do yourself a favour—pay them a visit and indulge in the vibrant, mouth-watering experience you won’t soon forget! Because the food was so nice I only remembered to take three pictures but I will be back again!
