This place is great - its clean and green and quiet. The food and drinks are delicious, healthy and a refreshing change from normal road-food junk. Safe parking and wi-fi also make it a good place to stop-over if you are travelling through to/from the Zambezi, Okavango, Zimbabwe etc. The owner is a mine of local knowledge. Try it - its a good'un.

We have been frequently visiting this restaurant for a good number of years now and have found it to be very enjoyable on each occasion. The food is really good. The butter naan butter chicken and paneer mutter are always our favourite along with Basmati rice. The prices are very reasonable and excellent service.
Pravin and his team have done a great job of serving really good Indian food.

Staff very friendly and helpful. They had answers to all my questions. The store was nice and cool, this helps with the hot days. Service was fast and the food was good.
6. Golden Hills Spur Steak Ranch

Reviewed By Mark P - Lusaka, Zambia
In Botswana where the steak is king, the lazy rump was certainly not 500g and had more salt than a stick of biltong. Waitress was disinterested. Chocolate Mudslide tasted chemical. Beers warm and a double whisky served in a beer glass, no tumblers. Floor dirty, dust, cobwebs and scraps swept into neat little piles all over the place. No thank you.

Great service, great food, great decor. I liked the fact that we ordered at the table instead of the counter. Excellent customer service from the staff. They have crayons and colouring sheets to keep the young uns occupied.
