    Warm reception from Winnie, she made my experience worthwhile and I was impressed with how fast they are you don't even wait for 10 minutes before the food comes. Good cocktails and good african cuisine that is served HOT. for mature crowds, the only downside was the 21st birthday celebration that was being hosted there for some minutes we ended up in sermon 😂😂

    Garwe is a lovely place beautiful eating area/dining and garden area. If it's not busy hours you get your food in like less than 5mins. Great service and great ambience but I was a lil disappointed with the food I ordered twice going there it just didnt meet my expectations.

    Had been dragged to Garwe by an old friend; it’s not their fault that I’m not a fan of sorghum sadza and neither do I eat mutsine lol but judging from other clients who were enjoying Zimbabwean traditional dishes, it’s worth stopping by if one is into traditional food.

    The starters need improving. The serving lacks creativity and attention to detail. The facility is great but still needs a polished finish. Great staff. Timeous serving. Needs improvement on variety of drinks available

    Ordered 1/4 chicken and chips, took almost 30mins for the food to be served. Couldn't enjoy the chicken as it was hard and too crisp! Was offered a replacement but didn't have time to wait.. Had to leave...

    The oxtail was delicious. Several menu choices listed were not available. I went on a very quiet night so there were very few people in the restaurant.

  • 4/5 Pagewell M. 2 years ago on Google

    They serve delicious authentically Zimbabwean food, but their portions have significantly reduced yet the cost has gone up.

  • 4/5 panashe n. 4 years ago on Google
    Chilled, private place with great traditional food

  • 3/5 Farai H. 2 years ago on Google
    The absence of PoS Machines for swiping is a serious letdown. Corporate and other formal institutions cannot pay using cash or Ecocash. So there's great potential if only this aspect could be addressed. The sooner the better otherwise the experience was good.

  • 5/5 Albert T. 2 years ago on Google
    Great local dishes. Probably best spot for traditional dishes in Harare.

  • 1/5 Dereck G. 2 years ago on Google
    Overpriced yet quality nowhere near Gava's or Kapotos. The service by the waitress was great. Not enough to salvage the low quality food

  • 3/5 Vivienne C. 2 years ago on Google
    I used to love this place, their food in incredibly tasty. Then one day I saw a dead and dry rat in the entrance and the staff didn't even seem to care. Last time I set foot there but I sometimes to think of how yummy their food was.

  • 3/5 Adulting with E. 4 years ago on Google
    Not what i expected but its under renovations. They serve traditional meals and their food is amazingly delicious. Good place to go for lunch when you have that 2-day hunger because they serve large portions and you can also share the meal. Quiet enviroment overally.
