    Lovely place with a beautiful ambience. A bit of a limited menu but the food they serve is delicious and comes in generous portions. The peri peri half chicken is not for the faint hearted though😂. Strawberry daiquiri was a 10 out of 10 for me.

    I hardly ever finish a whole pizza, but this time around I did cause it was just that good. There's a lovely play area for kids and the staff are really friendly and efficient. Their chicken is notably amongst the best in the city, beautiful outdoor seating.

    Alechi's is everything I was told it was! 😁 I brought my mum and brother here and we all had the highly recommended lekker(half) chicken which is so so good. The fries and garden salad are perfect with a home made taste. The semi outdoor patio is surounded by a pretty garden perfect for these summer evenings. The mocktail menu is lots of colour and fun. Oh and their blueberry cheese cake did not disappoint. I'll definitely be back to try more on the menu.

    We had their signature chicken, pizza and a chicken wrap. All were well cooked and delicious. The chicken was juicy and flavourful. We were also impressed with how quickly the food came! Our little ones enjoyed the play area there. Well done Alechi.

  • 3/5 Girmay H. 1 year ago on Google • 92 reviews
    A beautiful setting for a family or group outing. Very specious, clean and green. Service was okay but having more enthusiastic and cheerful staff would help. The food was good but didn't meet my expectation of a sumptuous Portuguese dish. Even though I didn't try any the pastry, I'm wide variety, looked very good. The carpet shop at the back of the restaurant was also interesting to visit. Very original and well priced items. I also saw a well-kept children's play ground, making it a very family friendly place.

    Beauty place with a lovely garden. Prices are reasonable and portions are very generous, when I was there almost everyone who left had a left over pallette. They don’t serve alcohol but they allow you to come with your own alcohol. I absolutely enjoyed loved the fresh pressed juice

    Great food! One of my favourite spots actually. Tons of parking, spacious and outdoor seating. You can even bring your own alcohol!(they don’t sell any there). Great spot to come through and relax for a few hours. The prices are very reasonable too! I definitely recommend

  • 5/5 Brighton Takudzwa N. 5 months ago on Google • 78 reviews
    Everytime i visit, i get a better experience than before. I love the half chicken as well as the Grilled and crumbed burgers. The Alechi Hot flavour is not for the faint hearted. The food is ever cooked well and the generous portion of fries leaves you full. Overally its a great place with prompt and good friendly service.

  • 4/5 Ruveneko Anisha M. 2 months ago on Google • 12 reviews New
    Went for lunch on a peaceful Friday afternoon. The place is spacious, gorgeous and it wasn't packed. This service was good, the waiter was switched on. The food was served in such a short time, props to them for that. It was fresh , delicious and the portions were so generous. Like genuinely generous. I loved it all. It's also very affordable.

    Easily one of the most chilled vibes in Harare. Feels like you are in your own backyard only with people waiting on you. Israel was a wonderful waiter. We loved the crumbed chicken burger. I highly recommend the Energizer fruit explosion. So refreshing and truly lived up to its name.

    I was served by Taurai who recommended the crumbled chicken burger. I also purchased a chicken salad. The crumbled chicken burger had mayonnaise and a piece of soggy lettuce on it. They use the cheap light green lettuce. The salad tasted like soggy chicken with cheap lettuce. Healthy lettuce should be leafy and dark green filled with chlorophyl. Pictures included. Apparently this place is Iranian owned and ran. Not sure where they picked up the Portuguese style.

    I had a wonderful experience. Ordered the double beef burger which was delicious and appropriately juicy. I always come here just for their burgers and cheese cakes. The cheesecakes are perfectly smooth, so rich and creamy. They also have good customer service!

    Really good value for money, with a nice large playground with tables close by so you can watch your children play. Quick and friendly wait staff. Large parking area with lots of space. Can be a bit busy at times

    Loved this place. Service is super fast but it’s very popular so it may help to do a booking. The prices are the real gold as they are very reasonable. The ambience from the garden set up is really cool though improvements can be made to the car park- there is plenty of parking space but the driveway is poorly done.

  • 3/5 George M. 2 years ago on Google
    The cocktails looked interesting but didn't order any. The food menu is not extensive and its mostly chicken. There's T-bone steak but they didn't have any - unforgivable considering that Alechi is located not more than 500m from one of the best butchers in town. I had the inferno pizza. It had a thing base, which is just how I like my pizzas, and a good amount of toppings. We spent about US$40 for 2 pizzas, Alexei chicken curry & a classic burger, plus a couple of drinks, so not expensive. Not sure that I'll be back though. There was nothing on the menu that made go, "Wow!". Oh, why is that most restaurants in Harare don't offer any vegetarian options besides salads?

  • 3/5 Z N. 2 years ago on Google
    Ordered the grilled burger on first visit and grilled Portuguese half chicken the second time. Chicken was dry on both occasions, and flavour was okay, nothing notable. Burger could have done with more flavour. Service was okay, need to provide fly repellent in summer for your outdoor seating. Enjoyed dessert. Pricing good.

  • 4/5 Valerie M. 2 years ago on Google
    I thought I was in love with the grilled lekker chicken... until I had the chicken schnitzel!! Secret underdog on that menu. Though the grilled half chicken will always be the signature classic. Great value and generous portions

  • 1/5 Carol du P. 2 years ago on Google
    Three of us for early dinner. Ordered two burgers n one pizza. Two burgers were eaten n FINISHED 30 MINUTES before pizza was served... so now one person eating while two waiting... After two eating n one waiting.... very annoying. Flies are terrible too. WILL NOT BE BACK

    Loved the tandoori half chicken and chips. Carrot cake yummy. Great lunch. Smart place too

  • 2/5 Zaa M. 2 years ago on Google
    Some of the waiters are rude and simply have no customer care at all. They will sit you down at a table and ignore you. Then when you ask when someone will come to serve you they will start yelling at each other and at you also. They need some serious customer care training. Very disappointing though their food is good

  • 4/5 Brendon M. 2 years ago on Google
    Good food, nice play area for the kids and service was good too.

  • 4/5 Sylvia L. 3 years ago on Google
    I find the staff to be very friendly & non intrusive, they have good Covid-19 Procedures in place.. The food is fantastic, I had a Mild Portuguese Grilled Chicken Burger c/w Chip's oh my Livin!! Best burger Eva! in year's, they put a lot of chicken to make up your meal. I've also had Pizza freaking fantastic. There is alot of parking in the premises and u can order ahead.. So we'll done guy's.

  • 5/5 Tanya Shanitah N. 1 year ago on Google
    Best Chicken curry I have ever tasted! Their lemon cheesecake is to delish! My pop son had the lemon and herb buffalo wings - I need the recipe for that sauce. It’s got that tangy zing. There’s a play area for the kids as well and very leafy. We got to enjoy our meal under a very thick canopy- the breeze was amazing! Definitely going back

    Thank you Mohammed & family for an amazing dinner last night, your hospitality was exceptional! You made myself & my uncle feel like honoured guests - you also gave a hungry man his best meal in 6 years & for this I’ll be eternally grateful. I highly recommend your restaurant & service to everyone! It was a good ending to my 1st Zimbabwe trip in 21 years, you made it truly memorable 🙏🏻

    I come here particularly for cheesecake. I love their lemon cheesecake, which my girlfriend also enjoys as well. I have tried the chicken and burgers as well, they are usually nicely done and I've had no complaints. The staff is very kind and their WhatsApp platform is very responsive, which makes for a lovely ordering experience.
