Chef Musisi Ssemakula
Head Chef & Owner
Musisi grew up cooking Luwombo with his grandmother in Masaka. He founded Kampala Family Restaurant to share that same love of home cooking with every guest.
Our Story
A family kitchen at heart, sharing the warmth of Ugandan hospitality one plate at a time.
How it started
From a home kitchen to Kampala's family table
Kampala Family Restaurant began in a small home kitchen where Sunday meals brought the whole neighbourhood together. What started as cooking for loved ones grew into a dream: a place where every guest is treated like family.
Today we serve the dishes we grew up on — steaming Matooke, rich Luwombo, smoky Muchomo and the beloved Rolex — all made from scratch with fresh, locally sourced ingredients and a whole lot of love.
Whether you are stopping by for a quick lunch or celebrating a milestone with your loved ones, our door is always open and our table always set.
