    We spent a lovely evening at Chang Thai in Harare. The food is delicious with a great variety of dietary options to choose from. The food was served quickly and the service was friendly and efficient. Book to avoid disappointment. Chang Thai is an authentic Thai restaurant!

    They attend to customers immediately upon arrival and they're fast when it comes to serving the food, depending on the food ordered. The staff is friendly and they take time to describe the menu. Make sure to book if you plan to go on the weekend

  • 5/5 Kundai G. 2 years ago on Google
    I have nothing but praise for this place. From the politeness and efficiency of the parking attendant, the beautiful lights and amazing cultural set up, the really warm heater on a cold night (good looking out) to the service and the thorough knowledge of pretty much everything on the menu by the server and the owner/chef came out to greet us and see how we liked the food. Oh wait the food. Oh my the food. Go see for yourself cause there are no words. I travelled to Thailand in each bite and I tell you, I did NOT want to come back.

    Oh boy, where do I start?! I’ve been to 100’s of Thai restaurants all over the world and including Thailand, but this is far superior to them all. The ingredients, service from the staff, taste and atmosphere was amazing. I was skeptical at first and almost found it laughable that I would find authentic Thai food in Zimbabwe. I was completely wrong and blown away by this restaurant. Definitely one of my top restaurants of all time (and I’ve been to many!). Thank you for such a beautiful unforgettable experience in Zimbabwe ❀️

    Absolutely delicious food and lightning fast service. Lovely, warm atmosphere even though it was a fairly chill and windy night. Very good prices as well. Definitely recommend the starter platter and this restaurant!

  • 5/5 sharon s. 11 months ago on Google β€’ 74 reviews
    Little place around 15 tables . Authentic Thai food. They do ask how spicy you want Since it was a little bit cold outside, they turned on the heater, which made our stay much pleasant Note that menus in Zimbabwe don't have prices due to the inflation You can ask how much it costs. We had 1 first dish and 3 main , and the coffee bill was 64$ Pay attention to the opening hours. Highly recommended will come back

  • 4/5 Credence M. 1 year ago on Google
    Excellent food, but service can be a bit slow. China Garden is a great Chinese experience. The private rooms make for a lovely intimate experience, which is great for gatherings with family or friends. The menu boasts good variety. Portions are very generous, allowing for a group to sample a bit of everything. The staff is friendly and professional. Certainly a great value dining experience.

    Great Thai restaurant!! I’m not Thai or SEA but the Pad Thai with chicken tasted great to me! πŸ˜„ Ambiance was really nice, staff was kind and service friendly as quick. I went around 2pm, so not a lot of people. Will be back!

    This is a great place to have a relaxed meal. Inside sting could feel a little loud to some but outside seating is relaxed and refreshing. The food was good and it came in time.We were a group of 7 so we booked the table in advance . Service was really good . Overall a good experience with Thai flavours with an array to choose for vegans and vegetarians. Overall the meal for 7 costed 130$ Sure to visit again

    Went for Birthday dinner. The food was great particularly the fish dishes. They do tend to use a lot of vegetables as filler but I like veg so not a problem for me Bring mosquito repellant and book in advance for large groups

    Pineapple fried rice as a main is delicious 9/10. Their Phad Thai I'd give a 7/10 , soups a 6/10. We had the glass noodle soup with chicken which was good and the hot and spicy prawn soup which was just OK.

    Fast service. Great Thai dishes. Lovely evening ambience. Although one can go without a reservation, its best to make one as it tends to fill up. Not sure if this is an every evening occurrence or it was just on the Friday evening I was there. They serve take away as well for those that don't want to sit in.

    The food was excellent. The service and atmosphere really good. The only down side is that being so popular it can get quite loud. The Chicken Cashew Stir fry is a favourite with us.

  • 3/5 Precious Kudzai G. 1 year ago on Google
    Waiters tend to crowd around the bar area away from the tables so it was hard to get their attention at times. When asked abt some of the menu items, the waiter seemed irritated. Drinks went great, we had Mai Tais and Margaritas. Food, the mains were nice and good portions. One person had a prawn soup, had 2 prawns in it so it was disappointing especially for the price.

  • 3/5 Chef R. 1 year ago on Google
    I really enjoyed the coconut rice and thai green curry, the prawns were too salty and were unpleasant to eat unfortunately but i highly recommend the chicken thai green curry. Presentation is on point. Service 6/10

  • 3/5 Jina K. 4 years ago on Google
    Good meals when you're craving some savory dishes. The pad thai was pretty good, get the spicy for some flavor. You will barely taste it. The spring rolls were excellent, green curry okay. The food came out quite lukewarm, maybe because they dont have zesa most times. Quiet atmosphere as you can see people on dates.
