What people are saying

New Orleans sits in the grounds of Banff Lodge Hotel in Hillside, and pizza is the dish most reviewers name first. Zembe called it “one of the best pizzas in this country” in a 2025 review, and Josefin (April 2025) agreed the pizzas were “best we'vd had in Zim” after trying many other places in the country. The Mozambique peri-peri chicken with mashed potatoes is the other repeat order, and Tafadzwa (2024) singled out a chocolate mousse cake that was “super moist and delicious” at breakfast.

Diners name their waiters: John (January 2025) credited “Patrick the waiter's service was excellent” while dining on the deck, Dr L. (2022) was looked after by Innocent, and Brendon (2020) asked to be served by Knowledge on a return visit. The deck overlooks a lawn, and reviewers describe the setting as calm rather than the noisy restaurants elsewhere in town. Two reviewers, Dr L. in 2022 and Brendon in 2020, mention cats wandering near the tables, with Dr L. noting some diners get startled or are allergic.

“Excellent staff and service. Pizzas were best we'vd had in Zim (and we'vd tried many different places). The mozanique peri peri chicken with mashed potatoes was lovely, so was the tilapia and fish and chips. Everything fresh and with some delicious veggies.”
