I didn't get a drink refill during that time either. I specifically asked for my meat to be cooked rare, but it came out well done. I would never recommend this place to anyone; it was the worst experience I've ever had.

When i ordered the “greek salad” i was met with a plate filled with lettuce that had brown ends to attatched to it. Did y’all even wash it!?!!?? the salad was lacking any colour, two julienne slices of green bellpeppers, tomatoes that still had its ends attached on each slice (lazy much? a bit of yellow peppers here and there, 2 olives that barely looked edible and horrible cuts of feta cheese (atleast i hope it was . If that’s what you call a greek salad then i might as well ask a group of rabid dogs to serve me a salad for starters. i was hopping the main would be a bit better cause i was staarving after not looking at that mess of a plate.. only to see an even bigger mess. Mama Zieta’s Plate” oh how good it looked. If Mama Zieta is actually out there then i know she ain’t eating y’all’s plate of food…The tuna salad?? i’m better off eating the fish in my tank at home, they seem more appetising. The chicken and calamari?? I think chicken inn offers better service. Oh lord the Prawns are not worth mentioning. I am shocked this place is still running so witchcraft to success must surely be a thing if such service has been tolerated and adored. Didn’t bother with desert, i wouldn’t want to see little ants peaking outta chocolate mousse cause that was very much a possibility in that “restaurant”

Bad food, bad service and bad hygiene. The first thing that hit me was the terrible smell. It was a mix of rotting seafood and something else that I couldn't quite place. The restaurant was infested with roaches. As soon as I left my car to enter the premises I saw rats running around. The owner is an incredibly rude woman and clearly doesn’t seem to care about the state of her restaurant. Upon entering the restaurant I was looked upon by what seems to be the owners son. He looked at me in a disgusting manner and didn’t lower his gaze. He shamefully asked for my Snapchat in a cocky manner and I told him I felt uncomfortable and had a boyfriend. However, he still insisted. I’ve never felt this uncomfortable in my life ever. Don't even get me started on the food it was absolutely disgusting. The chicken was dry and overcooked, and the seafood which my friend ordered was stale and tasted like it had been sitting out for days. The drinks were watered down and were placed in dirty glasses. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. Not only did I feel uncomfortable but I felt sick from the god awful food.

The cleanliness was extremely concerning, with dirt and grime visible everywhere. The plates, utensils, and glasses were poorly cleaned, making me question whether they were ever washed at all. The food was equally unappetizing—cold and stale. After waiting nearly an hour for my order, I was served a meal that was far from appealing. To make matters worse, the owner's teenage son was on the premises and was quite rude to several customers. He seemed out of it and showed little concern for the restaurant's condition or the quality of the food. To top it all off, the prices were exorbitant considering the subpar quality of both the food and the service. I highly recommend steering clear of this establishment if you care about your health and well-being.

I had the delight of trying their delicious half chicken and chips, and it was simply divine. The tenderness and flavor were so good that I found myself licking my fingers—definitely one of the best chicken dishes I’ve tasted in Harare. They also offer a lovely selection of classic cocktails to pair with your meal; I went with the mojito, which was refreshing and ideal for a hot summer day (crafted by Rayaan the bartender). Although I haven't had the chance to try their other dishes yet, I can easily see myself coming back.
