An inexpensive Indian and Indo-Chinese restaurant-bar on Avenue des Batetela, open from breakfast to late evening, with 2026 reviews praising its biryani and naan.
Eggiterian Restro and Bar is an inexpensive Indian and Indo-Chinese restaurant and bar at Grand Residence 33-34, Avenue des Batetela, in the Cliniques quarter of Gombe, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It serves a menu of Indian dishes, Indo-Chinese plates and grilled items, and it is one of the few places in the district that opens for breakfast, with service from 08:00 daily to 23:00. The most-ordered dishes include chicken biryani, butter chicken, cheese and garlic naan and chicken samosas, and recent reviews in 2026 single out the biryani and naan for praise. The atmosphere is casual and unfussy, with the feel of a neighbourhood canteen that also serves a bar, and the clientele includes the local Indian community, expatriate workers and residents of the nearby apartments. Noise levels are moderate and there is no dress code. Prices are among the lowest for a full sit-down meal in Gombe at roughly USD 10-25 per person (about 22,500-56,500 CDF), and sharing a biryani and a couple of curries is enough for two people. The Tripadvisor rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 38 reviews. Reservations are not usually needed, though larger groups can phone on +243 999 104 834 to check availability. The restaurant is in the same quarter as several other budget and mid-range options along Avenue des Batetela, which makes it easy to compare menus on foot during the day. Vegetarian diners should find paneer and vegetable dishes among the Indian items, although the menu is meat-heavy, and visitors with dietary needs should ask the staff about preparation before ordering.
