If you've just arrived in the country you may be a little hesitant about trying the local food. But I came to love it, and ate nothing else. Going to local restaurants also gives you a chance to chat to Ugandans. And it's very cheap.
There are many local restaurants in the centre of Mbale (Manafwa Road, Naboa Road, Republic Street, Kumi Road). They are all very similar, the menu is the same. Our favourite was the large Mukwano's on Manafwa Road, it has BBC/CNN news on TV and I was told they used boiled water for making passionfruit juice - many local restaurants do not boil the water, so you may want to be careful.
A meal costs around 1000-2000/= Snacks from 200/=
Favorite Dish: Matooke and beans.
Snacks:
milk tea
1/2 cakes or mandazi or star cakes
chappat
passionfruit juice in Mukwanos (not in some others)
Boiled or fried eggs with bread

Nuralis bar/restaurant below Mount Elgon View hotel is the best in town. Popular with tourists and wealthier locals. Excellent value for money -especially for the quality and range of food, and the decor. Waitress service. Serves both Indian food (e.g. 4,500/= for a vegetarian curry) and pizzas. When the restaurant is full and busy you can sit on the rooftop floor. They only have plastic tables and chairs up here, nothing like the gorgeous devor inside the restaurant, but it's nice to see a sunset or the lights of the town at dusk.Also overlooks the back of Club Oasis if you want to have a quick look at the pool table area before you go in.
Nurali's also has a bar with bar-stools and TV along one side of the restaurant.
Nuralis (or 'Coffee Tree' on Manafwa Road) is also the place to come and buy a drink if you want to use a really clean toilet, or a Western-style seat toilet rather than a squat version.
Favorite Dish: Masaala chips. Chips with a spicy sauce. Fantastic, I've only ever found these in Uganda.
Fresh passonfruit juice, which they guarantee in the menu is made with safe boiled water. (1000/= that's about 30p)
