Indaba Book Cafe — Restaurant in Bulawayo Province

Indaba Cafe has been a "must-go" for a long part of my life,but I'm afraid it didn't live up to the expectations I had. To start off the sitting area to eat is lovely,the book are feels like if I pull back one book I would land up in Narnia, the rest of the store is also very homely and is on-theme with the Ndebele/Southern African culture dominant in the region. As for the food I ordered a chicken mayo which tasted good but I felt like they could have added for chicken to the sandwich considering it was $4.I thoroughly enjoyed the Kombucha and I recommend you try it when you go. Now for the negatives:the bathroom door did not close,which made for an uncomfortable experience when in the water closet.

Friendly stuff. i wish it opened even on sunday and longer hours, i would spend my weekend in there. its a very nice place to have a date. most expensive plate is $10, a steak with a number of items accompanying the steak, seemed worth it....

This is a really great spot and the staff are absolutely amazing! You are greeted with a smile, they are very well-spoken, and they are super helpful. The atmosphere is that of a relaxed family-run, European village restaurant - I like it! The background music volume is perfectly low, not disruptive, and is modern, pop music. Having visited a couple of times, I have noticed that mushroom and avocado availability seem to be an issue, which limits what I am willing to order but is not a train smash. The food portions are fair, but if you have a huge appetite, you may be disappointed. The cappucino is EXCELLENT!! Now, as for you there, sitting in the last 2 seater by the window - you're in my spot! 🤨

UPDATE: They also offer 90minutes free Wi-Fi, which really helps if you want to get some work done while having your...
