A lively but manageable gastropub in Sam Levy's Village, visited twice. The menu is short and solid: smoky wings, hearty lamb meatballs and a dry-aged sirloin lifted by roasted pumpkin. Decent wine list.

More than pub grub in Sam Levy's Village, with attentive staff and a sleek bar. The rump steak was well cooked and the hummus generous. Her criticism was reserved for a tiny, badly fitted ladies' toilet.

What to Expect
The Brahman at Sam Levy's Village runs on a British gastropub menu, and the beef Wellington gets the strongest praise. Kyle (May 2026) called it “the best meal of my week in Harare” and “the best Beef Wellington I have ever had”, enough to book two visits in one trip. Ruvarashe (April 2026) found a rump steak “cooked perfectly, juicy, tender and full of flavour”, though a sirloin ordered medium well “came well done” instead.
Service holds up well at the bar. Josh (March 2026) said the bartenders “pay attention to the customer’s needs and offer suggestions as they go”, though warned the volume near the bar runs loud. Grace (November 2025) had a table forgotten during a busy night but was served and thanked a waiter, Richard, after staff apologised.

★★★★★
Superb experience at Brahman. Their menu is definitely pub fare and very good quality, and the drinks selection is also nice and extensive. Service was efficient, fast and unassuming. I came back for dinner as well! Highlight is BEEF WELLINGTON.
★★★★☆
My rump was cooked perfectly, juicy, tender and full of flavour. Tallow fries were quite good, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The strawberry mojito had way too much ice for my liking. The toffee pudding g was alright, not a fan of the almonds.
★★★★★
A fun and lively gastropub with good and attentive bar tenders who pay attention to the customer’s needs and offer suggestions as they go. I enjoyed myself a lot sitting at the bar. Several guys were helping me so I never had to wait for a beer refill or to order more food.
★★★★★
It was such a lovely experience. The waiter received me warmly and I got a table inside. They seemed a bit busy though because they kept forgetting about my table but they eventually served me and apologised. I had their chicken with yorkshire pudding and mazowe with soda water.
★★★★☆
This was a beautiful experience on New Year’s Eve for lunch. Well catered to by wait staff and had to try their steak. Well worth the experience and a great number of sides available. Looking forward to my next visit
