1. Matoke - Matoke is a traditional Ugandan dish made from unripe bananas (plantains) that are steamed and then mashed. It is often served with grilled or fried chicken, fish, or beef, accompanied by vegetables such as sukuma (collard greens) and matooke plantain seeds. The dish reflects Uganda's agricultural abundance and its culinary roots.
2. Rolex - Rolex is a Ugandan street food derived from the Indian roll, but with an East African twist. It typically consists of a wheat flour crepe filled with scrambled eggs, cabbage, onions, tomatoes, and either beef, chicken, or suya (marinated, skewered, and grilled meat). Rolex is commonly eaten at breakfast or as a quick snack throughout the day.
3. Kabalagala - Kabalagala, also known as Gulu chicken, is a popular Ugandan dish originating from the Northern Ugandan region.

The dish is often accompanied by sides such as mashed matoke or posho (maize porridge).
