Ukama Restaurant
What to Expect
Ukama Restaurant, attached to Zumbane Lodges near Angler's Rest in Nyanga, serves a wide-ranging menu that reviewers say changes with what's fresh. Aisling (July 2026) tried “a new dish each for the two nights we stayed” and was “blown away by the variety and creativity.” Primrose (November 2025) called it “one of the finest restaurants l have visited in Zimbabwe,” spanning “traditional to a mixture of different flavours.”
Because the kitchen cooks to order, reviewers advise booking ahead. Graham (March 2026) explained that “they do welcome walkins, but recommend you book and select your meal(s) ahead as they serve only the freshest food.” A 2025 visitor writing in Chinese enjoyed the chicken teriyaki and T-bone but found cooking speed a bit slow and suggested ordering early. Takwirira (2025) recommends the chicken curry paired with “Nyanga Craft Apple juice.”

I stumbled upon this restaurant by chance whilst looking for a place to eat on my vacation in Nyanga, although it was late and didn't have a reservation we were accommodated.

The chicken teriyaki is extremely delicious! The rice is very fragrant. The chicken is also very tender. The vegetables are all grown by the restaurant and are very fresh. The T-bones are very tender! The boss is also very nice and enthusiastic.

Chicken curry + Nyanga Craft Apple juice! Delicious, warming. Followed by lemon and mint ice which I forgot to photograph because it disappeared as soon as it arrived 😅 I highly recommend Ukama Restaurant
