What to Expect
Moongate is a Chinese restaurant in Belgravia built around a garden entrance, and reviewers linger on the design before the food. Girmay (February 2025) described “a majestic walkway into the garden under moon arches” leading to a glass-walled dining room, and Clotilda (October 2025) relaxed in the cabanas and wrote “you actually forget you're near the bustles of the city.”
Zephinath, in a 2025 review, found the food “fresh and full of flavor” and named the “sweet and sour chicken and noodles” as highlights. Tanatswa (November 2025) called the hake portion “very generous,” and Ruvarashe (November 2025) liked the dumplings, which “were quite good,” though found the chicken “a little too dry.”
Staff get individual praise: Fidel (May 2026) singled out Tashinga, and D (August 2024) said the staff “kept on checking on us if we needs anything.” Not every visit goes as smoothly, though: Zephinath's waiter in 2025 was “quite slow and not very attentive.” Moongate has private rooms for groups and opens daily, closing at 20:00 on weekdays and later on Friday and weekends.

I usually have a difficult time rating places five stars, but this one is exceptionally unique🙏🏾 Located in the leafy suburb of Belgravia in Harare City, a few kilometres out of the CBD, this restaurant, Chinese run, is beautifully perched as a moonlight of the neighbourhood.
★★★☆☆
I love the unique architecture and design of the place, but the food wasn’t particularly memorable. The chicken was a little too dry, however the dumplings were quite good. They have generous portions which is great for larger groups.
★★★☆☆
the food was honestly really good, fresh and full of flavor. The sweet and sour chicken and noodles were a highlight for me. The vibe of the place is lovely and relaxing.

★★★★☆
Really relaxed atmosphere you actually forget you're near the bustles of the city. A very refreshing environment, we relaxed in the cabanas. The cake($3 only!) was top notch and the cooler juice is really a cooler- so refreshing and cold.
