An easy, family-friendly daytime spot with a large seasonal menu and big portions. Her Buddha bowl had good parts that never quite came together; the sticky toffee pudding made up for it.

What to Expect
Luna's in Chisipite pairs garden seating with an all-day breakfast and Italian menu, and the tagliatelle alfredo draws specific praise. Noma (January 2026) called it “exquisite”, with a mocha that “achieved a perfect balance of richness and sweetness, requiring no addition.”
The recurring complaint is a slow kitchen despite generally attentive service. Jules (February 2026) said, “Waited 20 minutes to even be approached with menus” and then found the “food took 40 minutes for two salads.” CeCe (2025) described a similarly “precarious” wait that nearly cost CeCe's friends their order before it arrived.
Noma (January 2026) also flagged an unusual house rule, having been told that “all photography was prohibited”, a policy Noma had not encountered elsewhere in Harare.

★★★☆☆
My meal at Luna’s restaurant was, in a word, superb. The tagliatelle alfredo was exquisite, and the mocha coffee achieved a perfect balance of richness and sweetness, requiring no addition on my part.
★★★★☆
We had a lovely breakfast at Luna’s. The indoor fire was a perfect touch on a chilly morning, and the food was delicious. The wait, however, was a bit precarious - our friends were on a tight schedule and nearly had to cancel their order.
★★★★★
Luna’s Harare did not disappoint. Food was delicious, ambience was relaxed, and Lister was an incredible waitress — attentive, warm, and super helpful with menu choices. Highly recommend!
★★★★★
The restaurant has that very relaxed and calm atmosphere especially if you take the outdoor seating overlooking the gardens, very serene and tranquil. The food was good and so was the service. It was definitely the perfect way to wind down a busy week.
