What to Expect
La Gondola on Robert Mugabe Way runs late, open daily until midnight, and works as both a restaurant and a night spot with a DJ. Panashe (April 2025) had “a going -back-to- the-roots experience” eating the traditional meal, and Piaget (July 2024) agreed “the traditional meals are nice and hot though the noise is kinda too much in the lounge” for a late dinner.
Reviewers across the years single out service and drinks more than specific dishes. Ngu (April 2023) found “exceptional service delivery” from friendly staff, and Ali-Douglas (May 2018) noted “the beer is very cold”. Several mention it is never crowded, which makes it an easy stop for a quiet drink or a late meal.
