Story time: How I accidentally ended up at Wabi Sabi 🍽️✨
Let's talk about my recent visit to Wabi Sabi, located inside Hemingway's Hotel in Entebbe (Google Maps will take you straight there 😉)
Here's the funny part: we were actually looking for a place that served hearty, familiar comfort food. Asian fusion wasn't even on my agenda that afternoon. So we headed to Hemingway's, genuinely thinking it was a completely different place from Wabi Sabi (mainly because I didn't bother consulting our good friend Google 😅). It wasn't until we arrived that I realized Wabi Sabi is actually the restaurant inside the hotel. I'll admit, I was a little skeptical at first, but their menu and warm service completely changed my mind.
Here is the full breakdown of the experience:
The Menu & The Service 📜: The staff were incredibly knowledgeable and guided us through a beautifully detailed menu. What truly won me over was their “Far and Familiar” section. If you are dining with someone who isn't quite ready for sushi and just wants a classic fish dish, beef dishes, or other continental favorites, this section is an absolute lifesaver. They also get bonus points for offering a kids’ menu!
The Food 🍣 : If you are a sushi enthusiast, this spot needs to be on your radar. We ordered the chicken Katsu roll, which had crispy chicken, cucumber, avocado, and tonkatsu sauce, and it was an absolute hit. Pro-tip: Go in with an open mind, especially if you are exploring Asian fusion for the first time. The flavors are definitely worth stepping out of your comfort zone for. I had the Sticky Honey Garlic Pork Chops, and believe me when I say they were spectacular, packed with flavor right to the bone. I loved the generous amount of vegetables that were served with them.
The Vibe 🌿 : The aesthetics are exactly what you want for a peaceful dining experience. The ambiance is calm, elegant, and perfectly relaxed. It manages to feel deeply intimate, even when other guests are around.
