    One of the best places for quality food in Bulawayo. We really enjoyed the coffee and the cake. But also the main dishes are great. Excellent stuff, very friendly and fast service.

    This is my fav place to be. Set in a quiet suburb just on the outskirts of town is this haven. Being a creature of habit I will constantly go back to a restaurant if their food is constantly good and the same great taste. Never gone wrong at Zen. Perfect place to get my Zen on. The butter chicken is a must and the in season freshly squeezed orange juice was a delight that people don't offer anymore. Don't get me started on the chocolate cake. Moist and decent size. OK bye I'm off to Zen

    I enjoyed the Mexican steak toastie while my friend had a beef wrap. Both were very delicious. The service was excellent and we enjoyed the atmosphere outside.

    Enjoyed the more extensive menu. New and exciting treats to try. Loved the Indian Breakfast and Dahl Roti Roll. Close enough to be a convenient lunch spot when at work in town but far out enough to enjoy the peace and quiet of suburbs. A must try. Well done🤗🤗

    The Butter Chicken paired with the Tripple C's Toastie is fast becoming our standard Friday lunch at work - delicious, fresh, filling and great value for money. Great job!

    One of our favourite coffee places in Bulawayo! Their iced latte is unmatched, and so is the service. Highly recommend dropping by for breakfast or lunch. Location is easy to access, and there is secure on-site parking.

    I had lunch at Zen Cafe. To start with I had a lemon and mint mojito which was very refreshing. Then followed by Mexican steak toasties, which was tantalising to my taste buds as I have never tasted anything like that before. I decided to spend the afternoon enjoying the beautiful decor in the indoor area with a fire place and the outside varenda and outside eating area. I then ordered a hazelnut mocha latte which tasted divine. Then finally the waffle with Nutella and ice cream was the icing on the cake.

    I very much enjoyed the Butter Chicken and Classic Waffle. Being an avid tea lover, I must say, the Chai Tea is the best tea that I've tasted anywhere in Zimbabwe, there is nothing better than enjoying a strong cup of Indian tea with great Indian food... The fast-paced takeaway facility is also great when I'm in a rush...
