What to Expect
The Smokehouse in Harare's Belvedere serves grills and platters, and pork ribs come up as the standout. Robson (April 2026) called “the pork ribs are a must-try dish,” “perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor.” Rumbidzai (January 2026) ordered “the platter for two,” finding the meat “perfectly seasoned,” and praised the strawberry daiquiri as “one of the best I've had in Harare in a long time.”
Not every visit is equally smooth. Rachel (January 2026) found the food merely “okay,” rating it “about 6/10,” and said it “took quite some time for the staff to seat us” despite a quiet room. Waiters get named thanks elsewhere, including Tawaz and Moses, with Tarisai (May 2026) saying Moses “went above and beyond.”

Five stars! We had an amazing experience with phenomenal food, friendly staff, and great ambiance. From the moment we walked in, the service was attentive and warm. In particular, the pork ribs are a must-try dish; they were perfectly cooked and bursting with flavor.

I had a great experience at Smokehouse in Harare. I ordered the platter for two and really enjoyed it—the meat was perfectly seasoned, and the sides were just as good. I have absolutely no complaints. The staff were friendly and polite, and the drinks arrived in good time.
★★★★☆
The experience was fairly average overall. It took quite some time for the staff to seat us, which was a bit inconvenient especially as the restaurant didn’t appear overly busy at the time. The food was okay — I’d rate it about 6/10.

The service we received was excellent. We got served by Moses (movado) and he went above and beyond. He made sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed. The food was 10/10, I would definitely recommend
