Service was really well meaning, and when the waiters have a bit more experience it will be excellent. (the training was there, just not fluent yet)
Six star al fresco smoking area. International class wonderful.
One of the best meals in Harare.
Will definitely return!
The rest of the service is bad and sadly what could have been an amazing experience left a sour taste in my mouth.
We went for dinner in the restaurant and the menu was a contemporary mix of local ingredients made in Euro-cuisine style. For starters I had the Nyanga Trout ceviche which was fresh, flavourful and well-seasoned. My mains was the Moroccan Lamb Curry and dessert was a very delicious frangipani blueberry tart.
Our server was very knowledgeable and communicated well. However we were somewhat ignored at the tail end of the meal when a large dinner party arrived.
We decided to have some cognacs for our nightcap and this is where a very good experience turned sour. The cognac cos $140 for the round or $70/glass. When asked the server tried to justify saying it's Hennessy VSOP, but even then the pricing was spectacularly exorbitant.
All in all, a great experience... Just don't order the Henny.
Their knowledgeable and friendly staff make the menu and drink selection effortless and the bartender whips up a mean margarita using freshly squeezed limes! The culinary preparation is exceptional, the peri prawn risotto showcases a masterful blend of creamy well-cooked risotto rice and succulent prawns, complemented by a spicy touch of chilli. If you're in the mood for a fruity dessert, the blueberry frangipane tart is delightful and perfectly balances the sweetness of blueberries with the richness of almond cream, creating a burst of flavour that is sure to satisfy your fruity cravings. The amaretto affogato dessert was a perfect end to the meal for those who enjoy a boozy decadent treat to satisfy their sweet tooth!
Overall Amanzi offers a unique dining experience, making it an ideal spot for a romantic date or a night out with friends seeking something beyond the typical city restaurant scene.
