Crystal Lounge

★ 4.3 · 85 reviews Kigali Opened 29 March 2024

Rooftop views on the 8th floor, 360 degrees of Kigali

Go for the view: eight floors up in Kimihurura, Crystal Lounge wraps around the KABC Building with a full 360-degree look at the city. It's a rooftop restaurant-and-lounge, not just a bar with a nice angle.

Sunday cultural nights are the regular draw here, packing the same crowd that showed up for the DJ set on opening night. It's held its own against the newer view-driven lounges that have since opened around Kimihurura and Remera.

    Loved the place. The staff was polite. The food was okay. There is room for improvement on their ordering system though. Its a bit complicated for customers to navigate. Overall really good experience!

    It’s okay for chatting with friends, but they could definitely use more lighting, I almost fell because it was so dark. The waiters are super fast and helpful. We only had drinks and the service was solid.

    The restaurant is on the rooftop of the KABC Building. We had a good time there. The personnel are very friendly and welcoming. We didn't have to beg for someone to attend to us like it usually happens in other restaurants. The food was also good, especially the chicken wrap, however, the fried potatoes were not well cooked that's why I gave 4 stars for the food.

    It was lovely. The rooftop has a clear view of the city. One cool thing about the place is, taxis are already waiting to pick and drop you in your destinations.

    Great upscale rooftop lounge in the heart of Kigali with live music, good food and drinks, and amazing views. Looking forward to visiting again.
