This is one of those few places that ticks all my boxes: great food, awesome service, and a really really nice vibe to it!In addition, a fantastic view over the city and Kimihurura!In addition to that, if I may repeat myself, their pizza is to die for!

My first time in Kigali and first time allowed out from quarantine. Highly rated on Google maps and I heartily endorse New Cactus. Not sure I understand the connection but I will be back when I return to Kigali at the end of January. The eggplant with ground meat and cheese and a delicious tomato sauce, lamb with green peas in another sauce with boiled potatoes. Very delicious and hot and again, I will be back

Place located at a very good location. Up on the hill with the view of Kigali city. They have a lots of food options. We ordered chicken pasta and chicken rice. Taste was good. Meal for two will cost you around 20000 RWF. Service is not very fast but when it comes to the ambience then this place is very nice. Must visit

Consistently delicious italian/french/ African food. Their Pizzas are absolutely amazing with thin crispy crusts. Add their special spiced oil (Huile pimenté) for a truely unique flavour !My favourite Main dishes : Boeuf Arlequin, LibokeMy favourite Pasta : Tagliatelle Putanesca, Raviolis aux Epinards, Penne Carbonara.My Dessert favourites: #1. Mousse au Chocolat #2. Le Sabayon glace (Ice cream with Congnac) #3.Profiteroles( Froed ice cream balls). For detailed reviews of food in Kigali, checkout deliciouskigali on Instagram and Facebook

New Cactus has a large and diverse menu with Belgian and Congolese offerings, however, we decided to eat pizza! Spectacular! Their brick pizza oven produced perfect pizza. Bananas flambe dessert was tasty but not served on fire. It's a short walk from the Marriott. They have attentive staff and a pleasant dining area. Only one other table was occupied on a Saturday evening, yet we'd eat here again.
