Alechi Restaurant — Restaurant in Harare

One star because the other 4 were erased by the service we received from the waiter. The food was soo delicious, portions big, pleasant environment. We Didnt get to finish eating, our drinks were even taken before we finished. Waiter said he "wants to go home because closing time was up and he doesnt make the laws so its not his fault". He harrased us for the bill payment whilst we were still eating citing that the girl who balances wants to do her work and go. Overall very very rude. Am sure if he had a broom he would have swept us out. We arrived at 7.30pm he could have just said they are closed instead of taking our orders then giving us 15 min to eat. (They close at 8pm 8:05 he had cleared our tabled) We packed our food into doggy bags though because it was too delicious to leave. For a first timer at this place, this goes into the top 5 worst eating out...

Your service was beyond terrible yesterday. I went to celebrate my 22nd birthday yesterday evening at 6pm. I was with my family. I thought the service was good the other 2 days I was there, that is Friday and Saturday. But I was so let down. I got there and was practically ignored for about 20 minutes(it wasn't even packed yesterday) I gave the place the benefit of the doubt and went up to the front and asked for a menu then proceeded to notify them that I hadn't been served yet. They did apologize and I went back to my table and was still ignored for another 10 minutes. I ended up leaving, cause my mood was completely rained on. If you are one for excellent service and good food go to Garfunkels or The Republic....

This is a good place to get a bite to eat.....I like the option of BYOB....their lunch menu isn't very large which is disappointing...something else disappointing is there is a pizza oven but no pizza on the menu.......they also need a drink menu for people who would prefer to buy from the restaurant....there was a rumor of milkshakes, but alas nothing on the menu to show.....I was able to sub out chips for rice w/my chicken, but was disappointed that it was just plain white rice, a little sauce or seasoning on the rice would've been nice.....all that being said the chicken is AWESOME, you will leave full.....some of my disappointments could be do to this place just moved to this location a couple...
