What people are saying

Sadza with stew or grilled meat is the standing order at Gavas, inside Belgravia Sports Club, and reviewers keep coming back for the portions. Penelope (October 2021) wrote “Amazing generous food portions we even left with leftovers” after trying the Mutongi Gava platter, and Lara (March 2026) praised “the best fried potatoes I’ve had in a long time” alongside the traditional sides.

Staff get thanked by name across visits. Dicil (June 2026) gave “a special thank you to Shantel, who provided exceptional service throughout our visit”, and other reviewers name Shylet, Millicent and Tinashe for similar attentiveness. Sunday lunches bring a live band, and diners generally report short waits even then.

Weekends get busy enough to test the room. Pavel found it “Way too loud” and overcrowded in a 2025 visit, though staff stayed “very friendly and helpful” despite a packed Friday. Gavas is open daily from 11:30 to 22:00.

“One of the best places to eat in Harare, hands down✨. The food here is really good, and true to the various traditional dishes one would expect to eat when in Zimbabwe.”

4.0 / 5

“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.”
