    Great ambience! They have gone out of their way to rehabilitate the garden and it is looking mwcaah. The kids play area is also well done so that makes it a good choice for a family outing. Only bummer is that they are not open on Sundays! Also, the menu is good but limited.

    Lovely coffee and eatery in north eastern Harare. Beautiful garden and indoor sitting areas. Great coffee and a comprehensive breakfast and lunch menu, and if you ever fancied a peanut milkshake, this is the place to go. Breakfast menu runs until 11:30.

    I spent my birthday there recently and I thoroughly loved the food! The greenery is so refreshing and made for great photos. I loved that they had a play area for children and so my little niece was able to keep herself occupied. The restaurant also has a great christian foundation which made it extra special for me. Our waiter Edward was very professional and friendly. I would recommend that you book a table in advance during peak times like lunch hour as the place is really popular and you don't want to be disappointed:)

    The food is excellent. I had the veggie burger - patty was "meaty" and flavourful. You can choose from 3 toppings and I opted for the cheese, caramelised onions and prawns. Surprisingly delicious combo with juicy prawns. If you come for breakfast, try their red cappuccino; it's delicious. Over my 2 week stay, I visited 3 times and was not disappointed each time. Now onto the cons. Service is a little inconsistent. Some waiters are highly attentive and friendly. Others are hard to find and don't check in very often. I received a teaspoon with a sticky residue on it and when I brought it to the waiter's attention, he thought it appropriate to wipe the spoon on a used dish cloth and hand it back to me... The venue is beautiful on a warm, sunny day but the exposed structure means that when it rains or temperatures are low, you are very much exposed to the elements.

    The Oak Tree offers a delightful outdoor dining experience alongside a miniature river with natural plantings. The food is presented beautifully, and tastes delicious. The menu has something for everyone, breakfast and lunch. Highly recommended!

    Peaceful ambiance. Good was amazing. Staff was not welcoming when we arrived. The waiters just kept talking amongst themselves when we arrived. We had to find our own table and call for the menu. This is something managememt should rectify. Mashed potato was lumpy but overall the food was delicious. Highly recommend.

    Lovely ambiance. Attentive service and overall great experience. Take the opportunity to explain what flavors you like and feel free to ask them which dishes they'd recommend. Loved the garden seating. Works very well for brunch with the girls or lunch with the family.

    Some of the best food presentation you can get in Zimbabwe. I had the oxtail which was spot on. They have deadly Chef on their hands. Great ambience from music to set up, they are all ways trying new dishes which is exciting and glad they have not converted to bland coffee beans like some restaurants in town so yes great coffee.

    Had a lovely lunch in the lush garden, very airy and spacious. Nice play area for children while you eat. Lots of vegetarian options on the menu. I was amazed at the variety being a vegetarian. The side salad was fresh and wholesome. I had the Vegie Tramezzini, it was fresh and flavourful.

    I like this restaurant even from just one visit. Will definitely return. A little pricey when compared to some other options; spent about $77 for a Caesar salad, 2 mains, 1 dessert, and drinks. The mains were but the salad was just okay.

    Beautiful, serene and one of the most comfortable spots for a coffee. You can even have a meeting or just catch up in an amazing atmosphere. Just do be in a rush...service can be sometimes slow.

    Exemplary service and food. This was such a pleasant experience of the real Zimbabwe. They completely get food tastes and their menu is modern with a rustic twist. Very impressive and will be highly recommending you to anyone coming your way.

    Lovely out-of-the-way place - safe and secluded playground for children to play while parents supervise from their tables. Delicious food with very generous portions (quickly served too). Definitely recommend.

    Top restaurant in Harare by a long shot. This place has it all. If you are one for good food, good company, good service, good setting and reasonable prices then you must experience Oak Tree. Perfect for kids as well with a wonderful play area out in the garden the kids will not want to leave! Well done to the owners this is a treat for Harare residents and anyone who visits will have a very good reason to love our city.

    Customer service was superb. I will give the management of the establishment from creating a culture that is pervasive throughout Oak Tree. All staff members were pleasant, from the person who took my phone call, to the reception, to the waitstaff, and the managers. The Greenery is also lovely and compliments their delicious breakfast.

    Nice venue with a nice look and feel. The food is pretty good even though I ordered a waffle in the middle of winter. It was warm and very soft. My partner had some breakfast with Zucchini and it was delicious. Will try this place again. The price was not too bad at about $10 per head.
