What to Expect
The Kraal, run out of Busters Sports Club in Ilanda, is known for its pizza and grilled meat. Lizzie (February 2019) called it “the best pizza in town”, and Anthony (August 2018) went further, calling it “Definitely the best restaurant in Bulawayo” and recommending the pizzas. Andy (April 2019) singled out a tender porterhouse and “mouthwatering” chicken peri peri, and Tinashe (February 2019) said the stuffed kraal chicken “was on point” at a birthday dinner where a staff member, Jessie, was thanked by name.
The room gets busy, especially on weekend nights, and reviewers describe a strong atmosphere with live bands on some evenings. Josh (April 2019) noted that the main room “gets packed and the room gets stuffy” when full. Service is usually praised, but Dave (2017) found it “terrible” on a busy night when the kitchen had also run out of some menu items, and Thorsten (April 2018) said beer “came bit slowly as soon as tge restaurant was full”.
Junior (December 2018) enjoyed the food but wanted the salads and gravy improved. Most of the reviews here date from 2017 to 2019. The Kraal serves dinner Monday to Saturday, 18:00 to 21:00, and is closed Sundays.

Had a birthday dinner with friends and family and the service was very good. Thanks to Jessie she made every moment memorable. The food OMG that stuffed kraal chicken was on point. We had to request for the chef so we pass our compliments. Thank you.
★★★★★
The food is phenomenal, and the service is exceptional. The staff are friendly and efficient, and the restaurant has a very nice atmosphere. Definitely the best restaurant in Bulawayo, and one of the best in Zimbabwe. I highly recommend the pizzas. 😊
★★★★★
I enjoyed their porter house it is so tender. And loved the chicken peri peri it was mouthwatering. Above all the warmth from the winter gas heaters
★★★☆☆
The food is very good but the service is terrible and inevitably there are menu items that they have run out of. The atmosphere is great but marred by the poor service and inefficiency of the wait staff. More costly than similar restaurants with as good food and better service.
★★★★★
I loved the food so much but they should improve on salads and gravy
