What to Expect
Grand Acade Centre earns praise for its food but plenty of criticism for its upkeep. Tanaka (August 2026) found the food quality excellent after two visits but said bluntly that “the place needs a revamp”, pointing to dust, scruffy waiters and rundown bathrooms. Pattie (December 2025) agreed that “Food depends on the day sometimes it's good”, though Pattie loved the breakfast.
Pastries draw specific praise. Andile (October 2025) called it home to “The best Pie Pastry I've ever had” and said “their Chelsea bun is to die for”. Nyasha (December 2024) recommended it for “The full breakfast mmm yummy”.
Service is inconsistent and prices are the main draw for some. Ruvarashe (November 2024) said “it took ages for my pizza to come through meanwhile others were almost done eating”, but rated the prices the highlight and recommended it for a budget meal.

What Diners Say
★★★☆☆
A thing or two to be learnt by the business operaters. The food quality is excellent. I am reviewing this after eating here twice but we should know and understand that a restaurant is not only food aesthetics and cleanliness matter as much as the food.
★★★☆☆
Food was okay, probably the highlight for me was the prices! The service could be improved on, it took ages for my pizza to come through meanwhile others were almost done eating😅. Location isn’t great considering surroundings but it was surprisingly quiet on the first floor.
★★★★☆
The best Pie Pastry I've ever had!!! And their Chelsea bun is to die for!
★★★☆☆
Food depends on the day sometimes it's good. Don't really know if one is served or one grabs the menu by themselves. Loved loved the breakfast though
★★★☆☆
I recommend this place. The full breakfast mmm yummy
