Jemi's Cuisine

Jemi's Cuisine is an Asian and Japanese-fusion restaurant on the first floor of Galerie La Fontaine, on Avenue des Batetela in the Cliniques quarter of Gombe, Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is classed as casual fine dining and is positioned as a healthy Asian kitchen, a niche that few other Gombe restaurants fill. Reviews in 2026 praise the sushi, lamb dishes, shrimp and chicken plates, and the signature order is a sushi platter, often shared between several diners. The setting is a modern upstairs dining room within a shopping and dining gallery, quieter than a street-front restaurant and with a polished, contemporary feel. Service is described as attentive in recent reviews. The restaurant is notable for its late hours, running until midnight from Sunday to Thursday, and until 03:00 on Friday and Saturday, with service starting at 13:00 every day. That makes it one of the few places in the district where visitors can find a full meal after midnight at the weekend. The Tripadvisor rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 77 reviews, among the highest of the city's restaurants with a substantial number of reviews. Prices are mid-range at roughly USD 20-45 per person (about 45,500-102,000 CDF), and sushi platters push the bill toward the upper end. Reservations are recommended at weekends and can be made on +243 991 622 222. The Cliniques quarter lies in the west of Gombe, close to several hotels and embassies, so the restaurant works well after a business day. Visitors who avoid raw fish can choose the lamb, chicken and shrimp dishes. A car is advisable for the late-night return.
