They say nature abhors a vacuum. One may not imagine an infrequently used alleyway converted into a trendy eating joint.
The powers behind Kasalina’s Bar and Restaurant carved out an enviable place that is not only centrally located, but also serves affordable and decent food.
For starters, you can have the English breakfast that is quite filling with eggs, sausages, bacon, tea or coffee at sh4,000.
The system here is to choose any four items. It is fair and for sh1,000 less you can have the continental breakfast, where you choose from three items.
In the evening, when you are relaxing over a beer, chicken wings with rice, French fries, fish fingers with tartar sauce and rice or fries taste good.
By any stretch of the imagination, a 200g piece of fillet steak for sh6,000 is bound to be a bargain; the going price in town would have to be at least sh31,000 or more.
Those, who have dined there frequently, cannot only testify to the excellent grills on offer, but also say in these days of biting the bullet, Kasalina’s is a Godsend!
However, a whole tilapia is a disappointment, it is too dry – a case of being overdone. Check out the fish tempura with beer batter. For lunch, they offer a buffet for a fiver.
It is your typical run of the mill affair with the common items that abound the usual buffets that one finds in Kampala.
