  3. Kivulini Kitchen

    A simple one-room place run by a local women's group, with profits going to a local women's rights organisation. There's an extensive menu, although not everything is available. Best is to ask what the day's special is, and then enjoy the lovely garden area - also with a small children's play area - behind while it's being prepared. Or, to avoid a long wait, order in advance. It's about 2km from town in the Isamilo section of town (around TSh1500 in a taxi, or a 20-minute walk).
