What to Expect
Zulu Bistro Bar in the Landela Complex builds its menu around Zimbabwean dishes tourists rarely try elsewhere: crocodile tail, oxtail stew, goat curry, tripe and mopane worms. Aden (May 2025) called the pan-seared crocodile and peanut rice “fantastic”, and Kritsana (January 2026) liked that the menu offers “a mix of authentic Zimbabwean dishes and 'safe zone' standard options” for less adventurous eaters.
Service comes up by name in almost every review, with Princess mentioned most often across several visits, alongside Alistair, Megan and Thube. Pascal (April 2025) wrote that “The very nice service of Princess was the cherry on the top for us”, enough to bring a return visit the next day.
A couple of practical notes recur: the kitchen stops taking orders at 9pm even though the doors stay open until 10, and Fabricio (May 2025) felt “Prices could be a little high” for a touristy location, while still recommending it.

A lovely place to enjoy traditional ZimbabweanAfrican food. We had a.o. biltong, Mopane worms, chicken feet, goat curry and crocodile tail, accomplished with Zambezi lager, but also with Umqombothi ( South African Sorghum beer).

This is the place to visit on tour first evening for a well prepared traditional cuisine. With a smile and informed explanations about the food we were welcomed by Megan. We ordered MR NGWENYA , MPONGO CURRY and for dessert MNYII MALVA PUDDING.

Excellent food and great value! I loved that the menu offers a mix of authentic Zimbabwean dishes and 'safe zone' standard options for those who might be less adventurous. We tried the lamb and fish dishes were particularly delicious and well-prepared.
