Amy's fast food, filling up your entire energy requirement


BY GEORGE KAGAME


Amy's Fast-food is one of the trendy catering places on the outskirts of the city; it is not so much the well prepared meals on service here or the friendly service style of the staff that conquers your feasting fiesta.


But of wonder is how the designers of the place managed to make such a little place accommodate so much stuff without overcrowding it and yet preserving the beautiful scenery in the background. Situated at the turn of the last sharp corner as you head to the busier suburbs of Kimironko, Remera, Gikondo and Kacyiru, Amy's is one Kigali's mushrooming fast food joint and it offers more than food.


It offers in-house ice cream, milk shakes and waffles, soft drinks including real fresh juice on top of a full menu break fast service-one of just a handful of places yo can find in Kigali. The location of Amy's is ideal for that badly needed breakfast because it is the only way the business can target many of Kigali's residents that live in the afore mentioned suburbs but work their livings in the city centre.

Also of advantage is its location on the premises of one city's busiest petrol stations, the manager knows which side of bread is good. So at Frw 2500, you can treat your appetite early in the morning before starting the working day. But there's also a traditional menu for lunch that goes between Frw 2500 to Frw 4000. The restaurant menu has a wide selection range from assorted rice, beef stew, fish and an assortment of other local dishes on top of snacks and the usual junk varieties like burgers and rolls.

However since the eatery is located on the wrong side of the road, it will benefit much if the road rules in the country change so that traffic heading out of the city centre comes to the left side of the road, the cafe will be well placed to get more clients.

Well as the place is used mostly by trekkers who just want a quick bite to carry away, for those that choose to sit in, the view this little place offers is amazing, this is because the sitting area is positioned a several inches high above the ground, so while you idly sip your juice or eat ice cream you are welcome to view the leafy residential houses and commercial blocks covering the entire Kacyiru and Kimiruhura neighbourhoods and its accompanying few dots of slums.


As is expected Amy's is perfectly situated to attract many clients but its location ensures that most of the clientele is the driving kind, since the entire stretch of the road from the petrol station to the main round about is taken by Vision 2020 blocks, the fast food joint will soon be smiling as most of the people that will occupy the Vision 2020 blocks will only have Amy's within walking distance for food.

Of note also among the target group are the toiletries and hardware shops on the building next to the petrol station.
Amy's takeaway and restaurant located at the Total Petrol station, before 'Peaje' it is open daily but on some occasions the managers close the premises and do not inform clients of their decisions.
