Gavas Restaurant

“Spacious outdoor seating with a warm vibe, generous portions of traditional Zimbabwean food- including the best fried potatoes I’ve had in a long time- and attentive and prompt service from Millicent.”

“Great for local food. Very airy and well set up.”

“Way too loud, food was ok, but could be more fresh, but no surprise due to the volume of customers. Overcrowded even is such a huge venue. Staff very friendly and helpful, but could be more of them as the Friday was extremely busy. Overall ok experience, nothing wrong.”

“We had a wonderful dining experience at Gava’s Restaurant. The food was delicious, well-prepared, and full of authentic Zimbabwean flavor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, making it a great place to enjoy a meal with family or friends. A special thank you to Shantel, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit. She was friendly, attentive, professional, and made us feel truly welcome. Her excellent customer service added to an already enjoyable experience. I will definitely be returning and highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for great Zim food and outstanding hospitality.

This place has totally stolen our hearts, definitely our favorite spot in Harare! The food? Delicious. The vibes? Immaculate. The service? On point. And just when we thought it couldn’t get any better… boom! A live band show! What a memorable lunch time.

Generally does not disappoint when I go there. The meals are traditional solid and hearty. If you are a light eater or God forbid vegetarian, this place is not for you. You will leave knowing for a while you are on "F" Loses points because the young waitress failed mention something that would have changed my guests choice. But the issue was resolved quickly.

The best traditional local food restaurant in Harare. Generous portions too.

I've been several times in this country style restaurant and never have been disappointed, for dinner and lunch either. Excellent cuisine quality, delicious grilled meat and stews, I literally loved the ox tail stew. Good vibes and atmosphere, I loved the live music entertainment for Friday brunch. Lovely and welcoming staff. Strongly recommend
