Khana Khazana is widely considered the best Indian restaurant in Kigali, a Kiyovu institution that has been feeding the city's diplomats, NGO workers, and discerning locals for years. The menu covers the full range of North Indian standards — butter chicken, palak paneer, dal makhani, biryanis — and executes them with more care than you typically find this far from the source. The naan is the best in town.
It is more expensive than the competition, with main dishes around 10-15 USD, but the food genuinely justifies it. The restaurant is a five-minute walk from the Hotel des Mille Collines in Kiyovu, and reservations are a good idea on weekend evenings. The lunch service is slightly faster than dinner and draws a solid crowd of regulars.
