More than a meal.An experience of Africa.

Traditional African cooking served in an open garden, among carved wood, woven fibre and open flame.

Our table

A place to eat, relax and spend time together

Cultures Resort sits on the corner of Chiremba and Southey Road in Hillside, Harare. It was built around a simple idea: that African food is best shared slowly, outdoors, with people you like.

The kitchen cooks traditional dishes. The grounds hold African art, handcrafted objects and shade trees. Families come for lunch and stay through the afternoon.

The experience

Four things people come back for

  • The Garden

    Tables set beneath mature trees, lanterns in the branches, open air and shade. Seating is spread across the grounds so groups can gather without crowding.

  • Open Fire Cooking

    Much of the kitchen happens outdoors, over flame and coals, where guests can see and smell what is being prepared.

  • African Art & Décor

    Carved wood, woven fibre, clay and hand-dyed cloth are part of the building itself rather than decoration hung on a wall.

  • Family & Friends

    Long tables, space for children, and an unhurried pace. People come to stay a while, not only to eat.

What guests say

This place offers a variety of African dishes. We went for the goat leg, village chicken and fish and it was delicious. The staff is friendly and it's in a good location. Would definitely visit again.

The environment is so peaceful and their African cuisine menu is so wide and the portions are more than generous. I would revisit over and over again.

Their goat dishes are incredible! I can still taste it a day later and wanting to go back. It has a good vibe that delivers a rich African feel. Friendly staff, fair portions and picturesque. Hidden gem.
