Learn to Make the Ugandan Rolex

Rolex is a much loved street food of Uganda that is typically made by rolling an omlette made with onions, tomatoes, cabbage, etc, into a chapati. This single-portion dish is quick to prepare, and can be eaten at any time of the day, from breakfast to lunch, supper or just as a snack. Our staff can make this easily and think it would be a great skill to bring back home from your trip to Uganda. Book a class at the front desk before 11:00am and we'll be excited to teach you!
