Description
uGood is a vibrant Ugandan street food eatery located on Jægersborggade in Copenhagen’s trendy Nørrebro district. Founded in 2016 by Danish-Ugandan chef Sylvester Bbaale, it began as a mobile kitchen on a Christiania bike and has since become a beloved local spot. The restaurant is known for its authentic Ugandan dishes made with organic ingredients, offering a cozy atmosphere with a few indoor seats and outdoor benches. The walls are adorned with Ugandan textiles and photos, adding to the cultural ambiance .
The star of the menu is the Rolex, a popular Ugandan wrap made by rolling chapati flatbread with an omelet, crispy vegetables, and often chicken or avocado. Other offerings include hearty stews with matoke (plantains), and a variety of fries such as sweet potato, cassava, and regular fries. The B’Good Saladi bowl features marinated chicken, sweet potato fries, kachumbari salsa, butter beans, red cabbage, bell peppers, avocado, and a peanut butter sauce, providing a flavorful and satisfying option .
While uGood has received praise for its friendly service and vibrant flavors, some reviews mention inconsistencies in the authenticity and preparation of certain dishes. For instance, there have been reports of the chapati being too hard and the Rolex containing ingredients like red cabbage and parsley, which are uncommon in traditional Ugandan versions. Despite these critiques, uGood remains a unique destination in Copenhagen for those interested in exploring Ugandan cuisine in a welcoming setting .
