Pahari in the Shona language means “a place of pots“. In our African culture pots are made out of clay and are designed to create the best flavours on the natural fire. We grew up eating various types of our African cuisine from the African pot. Some of the best recipes have disappeared with time and the skills to create them have gone with our elders. Pahari African Restaurant aims to recreate the taste as it used to be with special attention to detail.
Our African dish is based on Sadza (also known as Pap) and everything else is designed to accompany it. Sadza in Shona is created from various types of millet: chiefly maize, but rapoko (finger millet) or brown rice can supplement. Various types of relish are often served along with Sadza. This relish ranges from beef stew, ox trotters, tripe with offals, free range chicken and the popular Mopane worms mostly found in the forests of Matabeleland in Zimbabwe. Green vegetables are also a supplement in every plate, they come either fried or in peanut butter.
We believe this concept of African Traditional food must be shared among all food lovers internationally. It does not need to be a secret. So come along and experience a unique African cuisine dining experience at Pahari African Restaurant.

a week agoI really enjoy the food at this Zimbabwean restaurant. Pahari offers a very good selection of meat, vegetable and starch dishes. Regarding the latter, they have the widest variety of pap I have ever seen; white maize, sorghum, millet and wheat. Sorghum and millet are my favourite. You can't miss with the beef, chicken and vegetable dishes either. If you order a wide variety of dishes expect to wait about 30 minutes to be served. It's worth it though! I have eaten here at least five times and I will be back!

a month agoGreat experience learning to cook African food from Florence. Learned to make pap and other staples of South africa cuisine, including snacks, like caterpillars and other protein-rich foods. Come for the appeal of new food, leave with friends and a knowledge of staples.

4 months agoAuthentic Zimbabwean food, delicious and well presented. Hostess was attentive and friendly, meals were served with a smile. I really enjoyed my meal We each ordered different meals and got to share. The brown rice with peanut butter was a winner and was mupandawana -(meaty bones with veggie/kale)

a month agoFrom Canada and we wanted to see what African food was. We had no idea what to expect or what we were really ordering as we didn’t know the names of the food on the menu, but… my gosh was it good!! Such good spices. My picky husband who loves his burgers was saying Yum with every bite and ate about 3 helpings! Definitely recommend.
