About Tamarai Restaurant & Lounge

Tucked away along Lower Kololo Terrace, Tamarai offers a quiet and calming escape from the bustle of the city. The property combines an elegant indoor dining space under a distinctive thatched roof with a relaxed tropical atmosphere, making it an easy favorite for a leisurely lunch or a calm evening out. The menu spans a wide range of Pan-Asian specialties, featuring fresh sushi, fragrant drunken noodles, dim sum, and bold Thai dishes like phat kaphrao, all served in generous, filling portions.

Beyond the food, the lounge bar keeps things lively with a solid selection of wines and well-poured cocktails, whether you are stopping by for a casual drink at the counter or settling in for a weekend meal. Service remains consistently attentive and warm, perfectly matching the homey, unpretentious vibe that keeps people coming back to this Kololo staple year after year.

I had an experience learning how to make sushi thanks to the azaming sushi chefs who were patient and great chefs. The atmosphere was also clam and homey which made the experience perfect. Thank Tamari Sushi chefs

Another lovely evening spent at Tamarai. I have been a number of times over the past few years and their standards are always high. Their service is always on-point, we were served by Lenny last night and nothing was too much trouble. The ambiance is always good and food is stunning. They have a huge selection of food including very tasty sushi. If you are visiting Kampala, for whatever reason, you should visit Tamarai at Kololo. You will enjoy it.

It had been a couple of years since I was at Tamarai. Very quiet and lovely spot. The service was really fast and the food portions were generous and very filling too. We ordered drunken noodles, dim sum, potato wedges, chicken wings and sushi. The cocktails were spot on too- had a pinacolada and a strawberry daiquiri. The bartender was quite generous with the alcohol.
