A short walk from our hotel in Woodstock was this lovely restaurant serving some African food that we had never come across before. It was all lovely - we had the chicken stew with pap, and the fried tilapia with peanut butter rice (mashakada). Extremely tasty, can’t recommend highly enough.

The staff were helpful in explaining the dishes we hadn’t come across before, and they sell their home-made hot sauce by the bottle, which will make for a great present for family back home!

We drove all the way from Waterfront to have dinner at Pahari.
We were not dissapointed at all.
The food was just typical Zimbabwe traditional dishes without any twists. The food is organic and healthy.
Their portions are big enough for 2 people.
Unfortunately, we didnt have enough time for a sit in and had to do take away.
We will visit again on our next trip to Cape Town.
