Kabira Country Club, developed by real estate tycoon Sudhir Ruparelia in 2001, brings country club vibes right into Kampala’s heart. Lacking a golf course but boasting an Olympic-sized pool, modern gym, spacious bar, secure parking, and upscale rooms, it skips hefty membership fees except for pool and gym access.
Regular updates to decor, furniture, and linens keep the spot feeling fresh and glamorous. Visitors praise its reliable food quality and attentive staff.
Standouts include the smoked pork belly with apple and crackling, slow-roasted for juicy tenderness and ultra-crispy skin—a rare treat in Kampala. Vegetarians enjoy the Moroccan Mezze Platter, packed with tzatziki, falafel, hummus, marinated peppers, olives, and fresh produce.
The menu covers classics like steaks, grilled chicken, pizza, bangers and mash, and fish and chips, plus exotics such as boeuf bourguignon, kuku wa nazi, and tandoori chicken. It’s varied yet straightforward, avoiding the overload seen in some local spots.
Perfect for alfresco dining, it attracts hotel guests, middle-class locals, and expats. Expect Shs150,000 for two with drinks.
