What to Expect
Bajayi Banzala is a small, no-frills local eatery in Victoria Falls, run by three young women who do the cooking. Simona (August 2026) described “typical food lovely cooked by 3 young girls.” Stuart (September 2026) said the meal “rivalled the best of the fancy places,” though found the T-bone “quite thin” and “tough.”
Prices and portions come up often. Donnie (November 2025) said a basic meal “cost $3-5” and that the spot sits “half a block from local market” where locals shop for everyday goods. Brenda (June 2026) found “the portion was perfect, sausages are huge.”
Angela, a German-speaking visitor in February 2026, wrote that the food was well seasoned and traditionally served from one shared plate. Mjair (February 2026) was surprised, writing “no attitude, no stress, just top tier service.”

What Diners Say
★★★★★
Great. We ate there 2 nights. We ate at fancy restaurants our other 2 nights in VF and Bajayi's best rivalled the best of the fancy places. We strongly recommend the vegetable and chicken wraps as well as the quarter chicken and chips.
★★★★★
Really good local reataurant where you will basically only find locals. Visited twice in 2 days and strongly recommend. Basic meal w chicken, beef stew or bream fish w rice amd vegetables cost $3-5 depending on the meat selection.

The place was not easy to find, but it was totally worth it. Typical food lovely cooked by 3 young girls. Attended by local people, they had also vegetarian options. Recommended by Italian people!
