Amazingly yummy food ! So happy to find my new spot ! Authentic Ethiopian food

Very good food and very good service. One of the best. Loved the ambience. Food is extra ordinary

Lovely set-up by the hostess in a garden that was cool compared to the heat of October nights in Harare. We enjoyed a meal which everyone has been raving about since. It was a great way to catch up with old friends after years apart. I enjoy dining at Queen Makeda as much as the next person, and this time the meal felt extra intimate and extra special. Thank you again for the awesome hospitality!

Absolutely delicious

You will not taste better Ethiopian food and coffee than at this hidden gem in Harare

Absolutely delicious 😋

My favorite resturant, an absolute gem 💎

Nice place for a quiet family outing. Great food and service as well.

Loved our experience here...our anniversary fell on an odd day in the week so we were the only ones booked that evening...seems like a new place coming up. Family owned restaurant, nice decor (Ethiopian), nicely priced and really good food. Only thing missing was music... Yeah... A little Ethiopian music would've been appreciated nice😊

By far the best Ethiopian restaurant I have been! Everything fits. Wonderful food, perfect waiting time, tasty coffee and the Ethiopian lady (owner and cook) has always a heart-warming smile for the guests. I feel welcome and like home every time. A beautiful garden but also the inner space will make me feel comfortable. I don't live in Harare, but every time I come I won't miss to pass by here. Thanks for the positive experience every time!

Delicious flavours in the food and a unique experience to the Ethiopian Culture 👏🏻

I just had the weirdest experience here. It was my second time visiting. The first time things were okay. The food was good (veggie sampler) and the waiter was nice. BUT this time it was a mess. I showed up and it looked closed but then this man pops out. I ask him if it is open and he says yes, so I send my taxi away. Once inside he says he has to call the chef. Then he says there is no food and that they are closed. There was a lot of miscommunication and it was a waste of my time. Luckily the restaurant across the street was open so I wasn't stranded.

Ow, so great to discover this place as l love Ethiopian dishes!

Succulent meat dishes cooked to perfection!! The lamb, chicken and beef are great !! An informal home away from home atmosphere

Amazing restaurant!!! Being a vegetarian in Zimbabwe can be a bit difficult when it comes to going to a restaurant. Half the time a restaurant will have a large selection of vegetarian dishes but when you go and order from them they will tell you the majority aren't available - leaving you with no options; and the other half of restaurants won't even bother to give any vegetarian options to start off with. I am happy to say that Queen Makeda is an exception to this, and always gives a large variety of amazing vegetarian dishes. Each and every dish she makes is absolutely superb. I wish she would adopt me and I could just live there and eat her food all the time.

Queen Makeda never fails to impress. The food is incredibly delicious, made fresh, delivered in good time, and generously portioned. The hospitality of the people who work there is also top class. I feel welcomed and well looked after. I am always surprised by how quiet the place seems to be, it deserves to be packed every night! A real hidden gem.

I wish I could give this restaurant more than 5 stars! Best restaurant in Harare. The food is home cooked and delicious. This is the place to go if you want a healthy, tasty and affordable meal. Every plate is made with a range of spices that come together to create the most amazing dishes.

This isn't your typical type of restaurant, it has a very cozy homely vibe...the food is very delicious. If you looking for an interesting place to eat this restaurant is a sure bet!!

Really had a good time here😁 The food was great, and Aaron was an awesome waiter. He told us a bit about the food we where eating and it's significance. He was polite and quite professional as well 🤗 I really enjoyed the food. I wish I had ordered a vegetable dish as well but it was great food! I was just a tad bit annoyed I suppose when the owner refused a $100 bill I wanted to use to pay because it had some writing on the back. I had received the money that way actually from an ATM...and from my understanding it's an issue when money is torn or perhaps, like fake, but not if someone's written on it. We used it soon after at Gelato Crema and it wasn't a problem. So I had to wonder if it had anything to do with the way we looked and if they would have requested the same ( to use a different bill) from anyone else. However, maybe I'm bringing baggage from the way I've been treated in other restaurants to this experience. Maybe it wasn't about the way we looked at all😂. I also had to remind myself that this is a family business(or at least it seems like it) and perhaps they have to be very careful I guess? But anyway, make sure you have clean looking money, I guess? Also, make sure you bring cash, because they don't take visa or MasterCard. Luckily They actually had change which is apparently rare these days 😂 Despite this tiny issue it was really nice there. Waiting time was great. The place could definitely do with a bit of background music and a greater variety of drinks( not a big fan of soft drinks). Food was nice and hot. There wasn't anyone else there so waiting time for food was good. The garden looked beautiful. The decor made it feel authentic. And, I mean it was definitely authentic because the chef is Ethiopian. The chef/owner (I think ) was very sweet when we came in initially and gave us some good recommendations for the dishes to order. My sisters really loved the food and I took them there so they could try it. They really loved the place as well, so if they are happy, I'm happy. We will probably be back for more because they definitely want to come back 😁

One of the best meals I had while in Harare, exceptional food. A must visit place.

Really delicious and authentic Ethiopian food - our family all loved it. Highly recommend.

Great authentic Ethiopian cuisine.

Yummy food!!!!

Celebrated my birthday here and it was such an amazing experience,we didn't even want to leave! Lol The food was delicious,the service was excellent, coffee is heaven and I'd definitely recommend this restaurant! Thank you so much for making us feel at home and giving us a taste of Ethiopia! 10 🌟

Amazing food ! Atmosphere also really great , quiet. Definitely a must repeat

Delicious food made by a lovely Ethiopian family! Wonderful experience!

Love the food it's amazing especially their goat meat it's excellent

Nice restaurant place located in Alexandra , Lanark Road

Harare isn't the best food landscape for vegetarians and Queen Makeda provides a welcome selection. Their food was good, but not excellent.

Their shiro and shekla tibs is really tasty. A craving satisfaction. The injera is so fresh. And the tiny dog is goofy. But it's an Addis setup.

Very nice place for visit and for experience but very specific food.

Cool

Great place !!

Nice staff and food!

Awesome food and coffee. Will definitely be back

Good place. Food is tasty and quick. Surroundings are pleasant, nice garden, lots of birds. Love to have lunch here.

Great food. Good atmosphere - it's a cozy place that reminds me of eating in a well-appointed house dining room. The chef was very thoughtful and even offered to make me injera made with 100% teff if I called ahead next time.

It's the best place if you r looking for a freshly home made food.It is also exceptional with it's traditional and original Ethiopian dishes. And the best of all; the iconic Ethiopian cofee with decorated ceremony. Have a visit that you won't forget.💚💛❤ Queen Makeda👌

Very friendly service. Excellent food and coffee! Don't forget the Ethiopian coffee!

Ok

Good place to relax

Queen Makeda always makes me remember my mom's kitchen before I eat the food I can tell how delicious the food is by the smell so ,whoever want to rember their mom's kitchen or want to taste real Ethiopian food go to Queen Makeda Ethiopian restaurant in Zimbabwe Harare.

Very good homely atmosphere and The Best Ethiopian food i have ever had.

Great Ethiopian food. Best in Zimbabwe! Great service too!!

Great place for Ethiopian cuisine.

Great food and restaurant

The place looks very ancient and rarely patronized.

Good value, great food.

Great Ethiopian taste and exquisite experience

I loved the food, will go back soon soon, we even had time to our selves as she took care of our baby as we ate, lovely environment

Excellent !! Highly recommend a visit !!

I really enjoyed the Ethiopian food from Queen makeda. The place is cosy and they propose some very nice vegetarian options. I would definitely recommend it if you are in Harare for a couple of days

Excellent food and service, and its a shame not many people seem to know of the restaurant. We were the only diners there for dinner. Let's hope more people visit else it may have to close.

Good selection of traditional Ethiopian dishes. Quiet family operated place.

Not an easy place to find but boy is it worth it!! The food is lovely and the service pleasant, the "hidden gem" vibe of the place is right up my alley. Good place to go if you're a vegetarian and of course the coffee is amazing. I think I might become a regular.

Delicious food with great hosts!

loved it - amazing food - amazing owner

At first I wasn't sure, then I tried the food and literally fell in love with this little restaurant. Absolutely wonderful!! I'm an old man who has eaten at a lot of restaurants, this place is definitely very special

The food was awesome and very delicious. I loved that plating. The vibe is good but can be improved with a bit if background music. Ethiopian music too :-) . The service was good. Not a busy place. I would recommend. I am now a fan of Ethiopian food. Love it.
