Pariah State Avondale — Restaurant in Harare

This is a good place to just chill and eat good food. The platters are well made. On this occasion we ordered a breakfast smoothie, a strawberry milkshake, a sadza dish with short ribs, sausage, kababs, chicken, creamy chicken; a platter with chips, wings… etc; a chicken salad; fish and chips. In fact, the intention was not to order chips coz i prefer my fish with a salad or rice, anything but chips but we were told that they were not doing swaps so it had to be fish n chips. if you want a different side you have to order it separately on top of the fish n chips. Firstly, my surprise came from the fact that this was not my first time there and previously we had been able to order the sides we preferred btwn what was available , secondly, even at simple take out restaurants you can just order chicken/fish without chips then select the starch you prefer so i expected more from the place but the fact that the fish could not be separated from the chips was new for me! There is need for flexibility and an understanding of the diverse nature of clients n preferences. This was not a train smash though so do not get discouraged. The service was really great and timely, the food was delicious especially the short rib, it is mouth watering, the creamy spinash is amazing, the chicken salad was spot on, the strawberry milkshake was delicious. I totally recommend these! We had...

We came in and sat and the waiters were just staring at us without any attendance.They came after 5 minutes and they took our order in a very informal way without writing it down. When I took my order I strictly mentioned I do not consume pork due to my denomination and he nodded.The order took 20 minutes and after this long wait the waiter finally brought my food and it had bacon bits on top."Isn't this bacon" I asked. He said "yes". I then explained yet again telling him I cannot consume pork and I had told him at first. What mostly shocked me was he was now lying about the menu saying pork was written when it wasn't. We both looked on the menu and as I expected no pork was written on the contents of the dish. He then walked away and went to talk to his chef and returned. I then ordered another dish. After my meal he then threw my change on the table and walked away. Definitely I am...

My Pariah Experience

We went there on a Saturday night , late winter. A group of friends and I were celebrating a birthday. Went there and made a late reservation but they still catered for us which was really great. They were very accommodating. The waiter took our orders ASAP and the food came out of that kitchen just as quick. We ordered 2 of the pariah platters and we ate to our stomachs ' content. Lots of meat , various types by the way. I had a cappucino and it was okay. The food was okay , the flavors could have been a lot more flavorful...lol, I'm sorry I can't really find the words. There were no heaters outside so we had to dress warm. The atmosphere was great compliments to the dj on deck. He was keeping the vibe alive. It wasn't an outstanding experience but it certified was a good one. I'd recommend if you have a chilled but vibeyyy place to go to with...
