Two ways we can help
1. Hold your event at our place
Use our space at 13 KG 176 St, Remera, near Kisimenti. You bring the guests; we cook, serve and look after the food. We are open 24 hours from Monday to Saturday (closed on Sundays), so a breakfast meeting, a lunch, an evening celebration or a late gathering can all be discussed. Message us with your date and guest number and we will confirm whether our space suits your event.
Our space at 13 KG 176 St, Remera: a covered terrace with long tables for groups and small round tables.
2. We bring the food to your event
Holding it at home, at the office or at another venue? We cater there too. Food is prepared in our Remera kitchen and delivered across Kigali at the time you give us. See Catering & Events for what can be ordered for a group.
Office events
Team lunches, meetings, staff celebrations and end-of-year gatherings are all welcome, at your office or at our place. For food delivered to the office at a set time, order ahead for the office explains how it works. For larger numbers, food in litres is the simplest way to feed a team: 2 litres feeds at least 4 adults and 4 litres feeds at least 8.
What we cook for a crowd
- Rice: smokey party jollof rice and fried rice, by the litre.
- Soups and stews: egusi, okro and other Nigerian soups, tomato stew and sauces, by the litre.
- Chicken and grills: chicken by the litre and beef suya.
- Small chops: meat pies, puffs, chin-chin and plantain chips. See Nigerian small chops and snacks.
- Cakes: chocolate, red velvet, lemon, coconut and fruit cakes, and cupcakes in boxes. See cakes, small chops and pastries.
- Vegan guests: we have a vegan collection of Nigerian dishes.
New to Nigerian food, or have guests who are? Tell us and we will suggest a menu that works for everyone, including how spicy to make it.
