What to Expect
The Dome sits on the lakeside at Lomagundi in Kariba, and reviewers go mainly for the setting, watching hippos and the water from the deck. Carly (July 2026) called it “so special to watch the hippos from the deck”, and Jon (February 2026) named it “the number one place to go in Kariba for great food and hospitality”.
Fish comes up often, with Noel (June 2019) calling it “very good and well done” and Shayne (December 2016) recommending the battered kapenta or crayfish for something “cheap and cheerful”. Jan (August 2025) found mostly locals watching rugby on TV, with fair prices, and noted the restaurant happily cooked fish that customers had caught themselves. The Dome opens daily from 07:00 to 22:00.

So special to watch the hippos from the deck and enjoy Kariba. Food was tasty and the drinks ice cold.

A really nice place, where you'll mostly find locals. There's a lot of rugby on TV. The food is good and the prices are fair. We were here and brought our own freshly caught fish, and the restaurant was kind enough to prepare it for us.

Fun place to sit by the lake and grab a bite. Management is gracious and service is very friendly. Fish and chips were tasty! Right by the lake, and they have wifi. Recommended!
