What to Expect
Great Wall on East Road is a long-running Chinese restaurant that regulars treat as a standing dinner plan. Sarathiel (February 2026) enjoys the meals “each time I come”, and Anotida praised food that has been “consistently delicious” for years in a 2025 review.
Andy (January 2026) gave a detailed account: the sweet and sour chicken was the highlight, “the batter stayed impressively crispy even while tossed in the sauce”, the egg fried rice was fine, and the lamb ribs disappointed for the price. Cost comes up again with Ruby (2025), who called the food “a bit overpriced” and pointed to $8 for a bowl of egg rice.
Service is uneven. Most reviewers found it attentive, but Meredith (May 2026) waited 30 minutes before anyone took the order. The kitchen opens for lunch from 11:30 to 15:30 and for dinner from 17:30 to 21:30.

★★★★☆
I visited Great Wall recently and had a bit of a mixed experience. I ordered the sweet and sour chicken, lamb ribs, and egg fried rice, and while some parts of the meal were great, others were a major letdown.
★★★★☆
Great Wall has been making consistently delicious food for years and this meal was not a disappointment. The service was good and they paid attention to our needs.
★★★★☆
Our definite go to place for dinner whenever visiting Harare! Food is tasty with good service. Atmosphere has always been relaxed and welcoming. Only downfall is the cost of the food - the food is a bit overpriced and should be relooked at.
★★★★☆
Good Chinese food. Always enjoying their meals each time I come
★☆☆☆☆
Dont waste your time! Service should be negative -5 the so called server had the nerve to stop as I was mid sentence making my order to tell two people that just walked in they should wait, this is after we spent 30mins just waiting and had to beg someone to come take our order…
