I have lived in Kampala for several months and heard rave reviews about Khana Khazana. I expected to pay Kololo prices (25,000+ for a meal without drinks) and to be blown away by the food. I thought the food was mediocre, the portions were okay, and the ambiance was really strange. The wait staff dresses in fake-Indian traditional garb and... More

The food is good, really good, maybe not the best Indian in town but worth trying. The decoration etc. is quite special and lots of effort has been put in it. The service is quick enough to allow a nice lunch too. Definitely worth a try.

Went to Khana Khazana for the first time this weekend after hearing very good things. The server who sat us asked us 3 times if we had a reservation and made it seem like we wouldn't get a table since we did not, despite the restaurant being only half full. We sat down and the servers were fantastic, very quick... More

We recently returned to Uganda after a 3 year hiatus and KK was one of the first restaurant we re-visited. We were there for lunch. The ambiance is still beautiful. The table service was good. The food was not good. My wife got a chick-pea dish that had be re-warmed. The peas were a dull gray rather than their normal... More

I used to think the Haandi and Bhandini curry restaurants in Nairobi were the ultimate places to go to if you wanted curry. In my view they are both topped by Khana Khazana. The restaurant is a large colonial house that has been converted into a restaurant. It has an open air feel about it as the windows were taken... More

I do like Indian food, but I do LOVE this place! I am convinced this is the best restaurant on this planet! The cheese naan is really amazing, the palak paneer too, just like pretty much everything else. The prices are not cheap for Kampala, but remains reasonnable. The setting is nice too, and quite peacefull. This is also just... More

I love this place! The Africans in Indian attire is a bit strange. The space is cool even on Kampala's warmest night. It is opened to the outside with a waterfall at the rear of the restaurant. Noisy at tables near the waterfall. But the reason to go is the food! I've never had a bad meal here. Fabulous Indian... More

Stopped at Khana Khazana twice for lunch during a recent stay in Kampala. The dining room was clean, very bright, the service was prompt and food was served pretty promptly. The one area of slight irration was both visits we asked if credit cards were accepted - and were told "yes". Both times my card was returned to me with... More
