    We went to the Shop cafe that opens in the afternoons for a lovely vegetarian salad buffet lunch. This is something so innovative that you probably won't find elsewhere in Harare. Their menu is very chic and the food is well prepared. You really could have lunch without meat, unless if you really want to, of which you can order a side of chicken or fish. The staff is really friendly and serves quite excellently!

    Loved our meal here. Nice stop at the bar before being seated. Really good interesting fit-out and facilities. Eclectic menu, both courses for both of us were great. Service was really well meaning, and when the waiters have a bit more experience it will be excellent. (the training was there, just not fluent yet) Six star al fresco smoking area. International class wonderful. One of the best meals in Harare.

    Great service and great food. Best restaurant I have been to in Zimbabwe. Would highly recommend. The steak was so good that I bit my tongue and it was bleeding afterwards but worth it

    Nice, beautiful, well maintained with great landscaping open style restaurant. Food is good but not extraordinary, serving size is small, price are on higher side.

    A fantastic gourmet dining experience in a beautiful setting! Service was great and the waiters knew all the details about the food and preparation. The food took a while to come but it was definitely worth it! Amazing flavours and presentation of food with the highest levels of quality! Highly recommended!

    No doubt Amanzi is one of the finest dining establishments in Harare. Well designed menu, skillfully executed and lovely airy interiors all work together to make a 5 star experience.

    Beautiful atmosphere but the food is not always consistent. The vibe and garden settings help you to relax and enjoy your meal. The staff are very friendly and knowledgeable about their menu which helpsto make decisions. The bar area is always vibrant and entertaining.

    Came here to celebrate New Years. Extravagant prices for some tiiiiiny dishes, even more for wine pairing (which we realized later...our fault, perhaps). Was disappointed to see that there was no live band/any music for the price. Food was delicious, but was just expecting something more special to ring in the new year.

    The place is now Wombles - a Steakhouse and no longer Amanzi restaurant. The service is amazing, the menu is excellent from starters to desserts. This place is always a very relaxed environment to be in, really great for either business or leisure dining. The steaks are mouthwatering and prepared exactly to order - well done steaks take quite sometime to come out though. The restaurant also has very tempting deserts for those with a sweet tooth and also has a great selection of South African wines, I loved the Constantia wine.

    What an amazing place. Celebrating mums 70th birthday. The service is on point and Debbie the manager helped planning the big day for 19 guests. I highly recommend this restaurant if you are in Harare.

  • 3/5 Ryan M. 5 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Nkanye G. 5 years ago on Google
    Their portions are big, whatever you get you'll leave here full and satisfied. The menu has a wide range I've been here a number of times and I've never had the same thing twice. One of the best lunch and dinner spots in town. Ideal for families, birthdays and even romantic dinners. I can't really fault though I think they can improve a bit and be an even greater place.

    Very good place to eat. Lots of menu choices...very good ambience...I wish they'd give more than one piece of bread and then give you like 6 pieces of butter...my suggestion would be to leave a small basket of bread per table....I had the prawn curry which was pretty good....I really suggest the Hake Florentine....staff is friendly....fish fingers were enjoyed by my young son

    Alo Alo looks like you stepped back into the 1970s, the ambiance makes you feel homesick for your childhood. The Servers are very personable(they even put up with my mom's terrible jokes) Definitely a great place to go if you are looking for a homestyle meal

    I've always liked this place, but it is now getting worn, disappointed my icecream and honey comb had not set properly but will still give it 4 out of 5 as it is charming, Andrew is a gracious host and the rest of the meal was good.

    Horrible service. No one refilled our drinks. Pork special was tough. The chef did notice I didn't eat it and enquired why, but everything else was so mediocre I didn't want to get into it. Go to Vic 22--outstanding!

    Hosted a dinner party there recently and was very disgruntled by the service. The food was served late, the ox-tail was off, their steak was hard, not to even mention the ridiculously small portions that were served!! For the amount of money l paid l was very angry!! Wouldn’t recommend the place to anyone!! Its over-rated clearly!!
