The
PanAfrika Restaurant is one of those places you go to and you think you’ve just
travelled back in time. It makes you feel proud to be African because the
beauty of the continent has never been as superbly displayed.
Strategically
located in the quiet part of Belgravia on Number 4 Deary Avenue, the restaurant
offers a serene atmosphere. As you walk in, your eyes are instantly captured
and captivated by the swimming pool by the entrance, stone gazebo in front of
you, veranda on your right and right on the perfectly manicured lawn - tables
and chairs spread by java print cloth.
This
summer, they are having buffets on Fridays and Sundays, with a local artist to
entertain #KutiZvityise! Last Friday when we went, an Afro Jazz singer called
Munya was entertaining the guests and well, it’s a wonder how anyone can leave
that place after lunch and go back to work. Once you get in, you do not want to
go out again.
Traditional
food is served every day. So if you have been longing for grandmama’s cooking –
PanAfrika Restaurant is the perfect place to go for that true African
experience. They have one Congolese chef and two Zimbabwean ones, and they are
open every day from 11am to 7pm. They also do catering and events.
When
we got there, we got an exceptionally wonderful reception from the waiters and
waitresses who were also in java print uniforms. After we had served ourselves
and taken our seats, we were most especially impressed by the fact that we had
our hands washed in clay vessels (jug and bowl)! Totally felt like we were back
in the rural home.
What
did we have for lunch? Lol! Well, most of it we couldn’t exactly express
ourselves in the Queen’s language and give justice to the names of the food.
What you ought to know though, is that for
genuine African cuisine from all over the continent, PanAfrika Restaurant
is definitely the place.
