Mr Chips is one of Kigali’s well-known casual dining spots, popular for its classic American-style fast food. It’s located along KG 12 Avenue in the Kibagabaga area, within the Total Energies petrol station complex. (There’s also a new one in Zaria court). The restaurant has been around for several years and built a solid reputation among locals, students, and expats looking for a reliable, affordable meal.
The menu focuses on simple comfort food , juicy burgers, crispy chicken, spicy wings, pizzas, fish nuggets, and of course, perfectly golden fries (chips). Portions are generous, and everything is made fresh. Their burgers and wings, in particular, are consistent favorites. They also serve vegetarian options, and pizzas come with real mozzarella cheese, which sets them apart from many other quick-service spots in the city.
The atmosphere is casual and friendly , a good place for a relaxed lunch, an after-work bite, or a quick dinner. The bright yellow theme gives it a cheerful street-food vibe, and the staff are usually pleasant and quick to assist. Service is fairly fast, though during busy hours there can be short delays, especially with dine-in orders.
Prices are reasonable for Kigali standards, making it one of the better value-for-money options. You can comfortably eat for a modest budget without compromising on taste or freshness. They also offer take-away and delivery options, which are quite popular among regulars.
Overall, Mr Chips is a dependable choice for anyone craving a good burger, fries, or fried chicken in Kigali. It’s simple, consistent, affordable, and delicious , the kind of place you return to when you just want comfort...
Read moreMy wife and I are both chefs and when we are craving North American style food fast food Mr Chips is the place to go …for those who know it’s like in and out burger inCalifornia or Shake Shake in New York, fast food done right using only the freshest ingredients and many special touches that most fast food places ignore. A food burger is a thing of beauty and so delicious when done right …Their fries are thin and CRISPY made from the top quality kinigi potatoes …the chicken wings are plump and tender yet always crispy and well coated with a homemade BBQ sauce. The owner Paul has the experience and has empowered and trained his fabulous friendly and efficient Rwandan staff so that the quality and consistency is always there. This is fast food done at the right pace but most importantly with lots of attention to detail that makes it a pleasure to dine there everytime. Best of its kind in Kigali. !

The food is truly delicious! It’s the go to place in Kigali for a nice and fast meal.
The staff went above and beyond to assist me with a transaction issue, even though it was outside their responsibility. Their genuine kindness and willingness to help were truly heartwarming.
The owner’s thoughtful gesture of offering something on the house after noticing I had a tough day was a highlight.
This is hands down the best service I’ve ever experienced in Kigali. I’ll definitely be returning and recommending this place...
