Good place mostly to have a quick grocery pickup or sit down to eat and chat at the cafe's and restaurants. Don't expect much when you go inside though. As of the day I went there it's still a little bit of a ghost town especially upstairs (maybe due to renovations). But it's generally clean and looks okay.

It's a decent mall though still needs to upgrade some of its facilities as well as bring new shops on board. Further, new marketing strategies can be introduced to make the mall lively and vibrant.

Very nice and good area for almost all the needs.we have all u need in one place.very big car parking area and resting benches for your comfort

Good place for having fun with you family

My one year old enjoyed the play factory store. Bought shoes from Bata store then had a snack at KFC

Great place you can access a number of stores,kfc,pick n pay etc

I travel from chikupi road to makeni mall using a map 🗺️ it's very easy try you will never go wrong

It's a very congested and dirty market. I think the Lusaka City Council should be strict on the cleanliness of these places as they're likely breeding grounds of dirty diseases like cholera

A place where you can purchase food products at a very cheap price. Ma meda ya beans so, kapenta and other food stuff

Soweto Market is thriving and bustling; it is one of the biggest and busiest markets in the country. It is full of goods and products, clothing, food and practically anything you can think of. And there's always someone to carry your goodies at a fee. Just ensure you negotiate the fee before you go on your shopping spree🛍 🤔

Things are cheap here. You will find good vegetables and other food stuffs just waiting for you to get them. It's a big place that covers all foods under one roof. I love the place. A place of good food.

Business minded pipo around there though the market is not too conducive for selling of role food due to stagnant sewage water.. which can cause diseases.

From rock salt to freshly made peanut butter, you can pretty much find anything here. 😎

Busy street, hustler all over. Although safe

Collection of traditional African homes. Lots of local vendors with stone and wood carvings for sale. It was a bit of a tourist trap, but it was interesting to see the native wood. I enjoyed looking through the many minerals for sale.

I wasn't sure I'd go as I'd read that vendors were pretty intense, but it seems like the word has spread that harassing tourists doesn't get them to buy things. For the most part, the market was really relaxed, vendors were very kind, and I was able to usually just take my time to browse. Very few vendors were pushy - when anyone started getting a bit aggressive with the selling, i just bailed. Prices are still highly inflated, however, with a bit of pleasant, amicable bargaining, all is well. İt's also a beautiful setting- some of the buildings are used as shops while others have different purposes (ex: one has a little buffet). İt makes part of the place feel like a tourist area while other parts feel more like an actual village. All in all, it's definitely worth a wee little venture out there.

Friendly people. They are happy to tell you when you ask about goods and traditions. Market mood. Same stuff in every tent, prices vary depending on your haggling skills. There is also a small kitchen where you can get local food. Take one of the merchants with you and offer him a meal. Worth a visit.

A great selections of products, from art to wood carvings, jewellery and all varied qualities too. Be prepared to bargain! Not to underpay the sellers but to ensure you get a reasonable deal and aren’t ripped off. For example a set of book ends beautifully carved in stone. He asked for 750 which my driver said was far too high. We paid 250 which he was happy for. Driver later said the chap had spoken in local dialect to another seller and would’ve taken 150… Just as an indication :) Highly recommend the market. It was a great experience. Loved some of the paintings Some of the souvenirs I picked up I paid

A unique traditional craft, cultural and heritage village where rural artisans from all over Zambia bring their products for display and sale, there is huge bargaining, the maintenance of the premises requires a lot of improvement.

A valuable cultural village in which the residents live there, most of them are artisans and make beautiful wood carvings mainly and sell them in tent shops. The detail of their work is remarkable, as is their art. It is worth buying small souvenirs from there at good prices, always bargaining. The people are polite and not too pushy, like elsewhere. They even let you take photos and videos of their work and the village.

Once you're inside the compound of this village you're immediately treated to a beautiful display of artworks that are mostly handcrafted from wood and stone. There are items like wooden key holders, wooden freezer magnets, miniature stone-carved plates, wooden pen holders, wooden statues, african chess boards with wooden animals as board pieces, wooden pens, wooden animals you can use as decorations at home, etc. And they all have "Zambia" engraved on them which serves as a suitable souvenir to take back home if you're a tourist like me. I really enjoyed my time there.

I have now tried their meals out and more designer cake orders, I must commend the team on their superb 👌 service. I have been happy with my cakes (see pictures) and the food is equally to die for, delicious 😋. You'll never go wrong visiting this place for a bite to eat or for a drink.

Good place for breakfast, brunch and lunch. Reasonable prices and good portion sizes.

Food is always great… Mexican Nacho burger is to die for. Service could be better

Great food, great cakes and great coffee! 😍

Service and staff are really good they make nice coffee and the chicken and mayo is really good. Just sometimes the freshness of their cakes can be improved same with some of the other food items. But all and all its a great coffee place especially if you want to get some work done or just have a cuppa with a friend

Great place for a quick good coffee or to relax and order food. Meals are usually fairly light affairs but well prepared and tasty. Also has a great selection of desserts and smoothies for those with a sweet tooth. Service staff are friendly and attentive. Good value for money!

The food is delicious. They should work on the service provided.

By day, the market hums with the steady rhythm of brick-and-mortar shops; tailors stitching at their machines, grocers stacking fresh produce, and hardware stores clinking with the sound of metal tools. Bright signs hang over narrow aisles, drawing in a steady stream of shoppers. As the sun dips, the scene transforms; hawkers and peddlers flood the walkways, their tables and makeshift stalls spilling over with roasted maize, second-hand clothes, trinkets, and sizzling street food. The air is alive with bargaining voices, the scent of grilled meat, and the glow of rechargeable lamps, giving the market a second life, more vibrant, noisy, and chaotic than the day.

The town is so great, you find everything you are looking for there

It's good place despite being conjested

Spacious offices excellent reception, kitchen and wifi

Has a wide variety of goods though most low quality but good enough. Murex is the only camera shop that I've seen that provides most of what a videographer and photographer would need

Specialist in selling all types of windows Glasses, that fits aluminum and steel doors and window frames. Window handles, Mirrors, putty. Our service we do installation of glasses at minmal charge if you buy from us. Thank you.

It's a very good trading place than another market in zambia.our own industrial

I found this restaurant close to where I had a meeting and thought it would be a great quick bite to eat. The waitress was unclear of the menu to start with. The pizza I ordered was unavailable, when I changed to a Margherita the image attached is what I received. I didn’t fuss so removed the green peppers. However it was far from a pizza 🍕. There was only 2 people in the restaurant besides myself who were having food. It’s not an Italian Restaurant and this should be clear. The food is far from it, I hope the owners can do something to improve on the food as the location is good.

When we saw this place we thought it would be a good stop for lunch. We were the only ones there besides two people talking loudly on speakerphone. We ordered food and it didn’t arrive for at least an hour and a half, and when it came my partner’s pizza was undercooked so much that it was still dough. My dish was alright, but not really worth the wait time. If you’re coming for drinks, choose beer. If you’re coming for food… don’t.

Lovely serene place to chill out. Has a cozy environment. Their service and food is ok. They have Italian cheese and cold meats for sale too. They make lovely mojitos! And there cheese cake is on point!

Provides nice meals, beverages and is a nice place for a simple getaway, to chat, social meeting etc

Google suggested me the place. Besides me and my wife there was only one table of very noisy people. The had a very loud soundbox. They kept increasing the volume and playing sirens until it was impossible to talk. Even yelling I could not talk to my wife. The waitress had no idea about the food. The table was wobbly and dusty. I ordered a beer and it came hot. We left before ordering the food.

The food is amazing, and the customer service was great.

We didn't spend much time cause the place was not as lively as we expected so my partner insisted on not staying for long. But the drinks were good served as per GOOD standard ICE CUBES AND STRAW

Great steaks here, especially the t-bone steak served sizzling hot! Excellent customer service. Not crowded at all. The ambience was subdued and a number of patrons were not masked up. The table layout hopefully could quickly be rearranged to ensure wheelchair users have proper access. A few mod cons might big up this upmarket restaurant, such as WiFi access.

It's an elegant place with nice interior decoration. They have the best chicken livers in town and my favorite main course is Rib-eye steak which is juicy on a sizzling hot plate. There are quite a lot of wines/spirits/cocktails to choose but much fewer options of soft drinks. Quick service. Sometimes the music is a bit loud and distracting.

Had a beautiful meal on a quiet Sunday. Not too crowded with nice lighting. Their food was okay. Tasty with just the right amount of spices. A bit limited on the non alcoholic beverages. This could be improved.

Our waiter came to our table to bringing drinks and that's the last we saw of him, the food took an hour to get to our table, the service was too passive. The atmosphere was okay. Definitely a sit-down place when you're not in a hurry...

First time and was really disappointed with the food , I was served brown chips that had partially been burnt , wondering how someone would see the chips are not okay and still serve them to a customer.The waitress was kind but I would not recommend the place to have a good meal and skeptical to go back.

The sirloin steak and rib Eye were good and cooked to the requested level. They are very genourous with their salad portions and the salads are good. The mash potatoes tasted very plain(no cheese or butter or anything). The lemon and herbs chicken wings were like boiled chicken without any taste. The waiters were good/friendly and customer service was okay.

Beautiful and cosy place for a sumptuous meal. Nice steaks. Place is good for family, couples or lonely dinners! The place serves very tasty and tender steaks prepared with perfection. The taste just feels your mouth. Located in the splash environs of Kabulonga, the place attracts high class ranks of patrons destined to spoilt each other for class. The restaurant has secure and spacious parking area and has high spaces with great interiors. The bar is well stocked and the air is usually filled with variety of music. With that many glasses of wine, the music can be captivating.

The renovations are coming up very well. Looking forward to see a modern and once again vibrant shopping mall.

Fresh off a much needed revamping, this landmark shopping centre/mall has plentiful parking, unique cafes and so much more to offer!

The new owners seem to know what they are doing. The place is unrecognizable! They have earned 2 more stars from my last review. Very accessible, easy parking. Waiting to see the tenant mix before they get the final 2 stars. Check out the new look

Chilled mall not a lot of traffic compared to east park which is good , l love it

Good place everything you want, Bureau, shopping mall,bars,hotel.banks,art..I can go on and on.

A perfect, quiet hiatus in a bustling city is the most befitting description for this establishment. Musa (the manager) was very welcoming and guided me to my preferred seat Frank waited on me with great attention. I had a refreshing Green Tea and Lemon iced tea which was very quenching. The highlight of my visit was tasting the vegetarian wrap. Every bite was sensational. This veggie wrap wasn't trying to be a meat wrap, but showcasing how beautiful veggies can taste. Ambiance is perfect for conversation with family, friends or a first date. I will be returning, hungry for more.

Had lunch here with a friend and really enjoyed it. The service was fast, and the food was tasty. Their Irish coffee is absolutely amazing — every sip was refreshing and perfectly balanced. However, I was a bit surprised that my pork ribs and rice were served without any sauce, which I had to order separately at an extra cost. Still, the overall experience was pleasant. The place has a lovely green surrounding that makes it great for a relaxed lunch.

I visited the restaurant at 8PM and that’s a bit late for most activities in Lusaka, but let me tell you something, I had a smoothie and a croissant, it was delicious and fresh and the ambiance is amazing for people looking for aesthetics that’s the places, unfortunately I couldn’t take more pictures of the interior not to interfere with the people enjoying their evening, you can check it on socials media. It’s a great place to visit and the waiter who served us was very friendly it’s a shame I don’t remember his name.

These lentils were so delicious. I came here with a group of 12 while in Zambia for a mission trip. All of the food was plated beautifully. The salads and vegetables were all so fresh or cooked perfectly. The mushroom pasta sauce is super good as well. I'm definitely hoping to be able to eat here again when we come back for our next mission trip. The service was some of the best service we had in Zambia. The server was attentive and did her best to try and anticipate what we might need before we even asked. 10/10 recommend.

I only had a juice there as I wasn't staying long and had already had lunch, but the menu looks amazing and I can't wait to come back to try some of their dishes! The juice was so freshly refreshing! (And it matched my shirt! 🤣) I went back the next day with a friend for supper! I had a great minute steak (forgot to take a photo), she had calamari (no photo). Both dishes were really good! We had a chocolate waffle with vanilla ice cream for dessert (soooooo good!) Oh!... and another juice for me (beetroot, carrot and apple)

I loved all of this place! Great drinks, great food and great coffee (Italian machine!) - relaxing atmosphere and fresh ingredients.

I had visited mint lounge before but it was a rushed experience that ended up being take away, I opted to have my breakfast here today and get the full experience of their service. The atmosphere is pretty and very "chill", its not noisy so if you want a quick meeting over a meal or just somewhere to sit and chat it seems like a good option. The service is prompt, a little disorganised because I kept losing my waitress but others filled in on her behalf, which helped. The food was so lovely and scrumptious, looked very simple but I loved how it tasted and it was not over the top or exaggerated, just simple and delicious.

This is the university of Zambia, behind the hostels...its a good view if you ask me.....taking a walk in the late afternoons...... it's a big institution and has many places to explore. When looking for prestigious university, this is your kind of place...

One of the best university environment with hard working lecturers and students. The campus is really big with alot of places for self reflection.

It is a nice place with a lake behind the institution for scenic beauty leisure. There is also a big mall nearby so snacks while you relax won't be a problem. The institution is a wide community of about 15-20 thousand students. I have also had a fair share of using their sports fields which are quiet okey although not of the average best standard. The place I believe will have more student as well as community benefiting projects due to the vast land still unused. And you don't have to worry about parking space because there is plenty for both the public and staff at the institution.

The university within a university. Guided by our motto,"service and excellence "offers the best and helps you to get the best academic paper

Its a remarkable school.... A whole new world when you get in

The Topmost and Biggest University in Zambia. Has one of the biggest Libraries in the country and issues the most recognized Degrees in the country. Accommodation is offered to full time students and has 2 lakes that offer a beautiful view. You can find a clinic, basketball court and football pitch here. It's also located near a shopping mall and hotels.

It was an early dinner so the place was relatively quiet at first. Unfortunately once it got a bit busier it was hard to get the waiter's attention but they did the best they could. The food was exceptional! The flavours were great with the main dishes. The steak was cooked to perfection and the curry chicken was seasoned extremely well. LThe side dishes were ok and you could refill as much as you like. The portion sizes were also good enough to fill you. The Malawi shandy was just alright. I've tasted better. Definitely would like to return and try other dishes

"Marlin" Restaurant is nestled in the heart of the Longacres area, adjacent to the once prestigious Lusaka Club. It is also a dining experience that leaves a mixed impression. The decor, while maybe aiming for a cosy ambience, feels outdated and needs a refresh. The open kitchen concept, while possibly intended to showcase culinary artistry, inadvertently fills the dining area with a cacophony of aromas, some enticing, others less so. The menu (by the way, printed with some typing errors) offers a diverse range of options, but the execution is inconsistent. The rock shandy lacked the expected zest, and the pancakes were overly sweet, lacking the depth of brandy flavour. The minestrone was passable, while the self-serve salad bar raised hygiene concerns. However, the pepper steak emerged as a standout dish, delivering on flavour. The dimly lit interior, while perhaps intended to create an intimate atmosphere, instead cast a gloomy pall over the dining experience. Service was attentive, but the ambience exceeded expectations for a restaurant of - said by locals - 'calibre'. In summary, Marlin Restaurant presents a mixed bag of culinary delights and also disappointments, with the potential for "greatness" if they address the shortcomings in decor, menu execution, and ambience.

Definitely had a old golf country club feel if you are looking for that type of environment. Unfortunately the table cloth was filthy and had multiple oil stains. Not a good look for an older building. The pepper steak was cooked medium well as I asked for and the pepper gravy was the best I’ve had. The baked potato was perfectly cooked but extremely small. I’d say the price for what you get is a little high but I’d go back just for the pepper steak!

The Marlin at Lusaka Club serves the best food and has a great atmosphere. Waiters are attentive but don't hover over you. Always ice for your drinks

One of Lusaka's restaurants that has stood the test of time. It has a cosy environment and good service. There food is tasty and fresh. They serve the best pepper steak in town. It has two outlets. One at Lusaka Club and the other at East Park Mall. Reservations can be made prior to your visit but walk-ins are also welcome. Food can also be pre-ordered for pick up later. Overall, it has a good ambience, good food and friendly staff.

The place is good with a lot of food options and the have a variety of snacks and cuisine suitable for all groups and culture. It is located in the heart of the city and its within a driving distance. It has a couple of drink choices and the variety of beers. The place is clean and the service is excellent. The staff are good and it attracts a trendy crowd. You have to visit the place and enjoy your time. You will not regret

Always excellent food and service but lacks atmosphere with stark white walls. The decor could do with some undating.

Really enjoyed my vegetarian pad Thai! Huge portions, enough for two filling meals or could even be split as 3 ‘comfortable’ meals. Had some of the house red wine which was also quite good. Would definitely recommend this place because of the quality of service, food, portion sizes and ambiance!!

It's well located, the ambiance is cozy, and the menu is offering VARIOUS options. From vegetarians to non vegetarian food. The prices are affordable. And the food is good and the service fast. Please just check about how spicy you want your food to be, if you don't want to spend a bad moment.

Hadn’t been in years.. Food is still great.. customer service was good too.. Loves it.

Nice place for Thai food...watch the price. my second time opinion on this is relatively bad ..The prawn tampura was really badly cooked and was not to the expectation..This was not the same as served in other restaurants..The chicken rice flat noodles was fine .

Expensive... but every food is perfect Please try 'Phad Phong Kree with rice'!!!!!

Great food and wonderful service.

Service was great, ambiance was great, food was fantastic!

Very average food not impressed as a first time customer, one dish sweet & sour pork tenderloins tasted like they had spent time in the freezer and defrosted in the microwave, all stuck together and difficult to separate. Once bitten twice shy shall not be going back sorry.

The portions are gigantic, which is great if you’ve got company. Service is decent, but beware: the smoke can make you feel like you’ve accidentally walked into a lounge. it’s worth a try!

One of the Best and Long running Chinese Restaurants in Lusaka...Give it a try!

Badly run compared to how it used to be. Couldn't do three of the dishes we ordered because they'd run out of ingredients. Only had two types of wine available, one red, one white. The young Chinese manageress walked past our table with her hands in her pockets about ten times without ever addressing a word to us. Food was nice and the other staff were good.

The food is good, but the environment still lacks the Western-style professionalism. No receipt, got my order wrong. The workers are nice though.

1.Cold customer service,staff are not quick enough to welcome you and settle you down at a table and segregative.(Chinese are better welcomed) 2.Alcohol department doesn't seem to favour local beer(lagers ,Mosi/castle out of stock pathetic) excuse!.local staff also don't seem to know the chinese menu too well. 3.Chocking Spices! Hot food spices from kitchen was an unpleasant experience! The air inside was polluted chili spices chocked guests as well as staff(coughing) we felt teagassed. Never again.

I think the food is great but to me, it just doesn't offer a totally Chinese experience. I expect a bit of a culture when I go to a foreign restaurant. It's not just the food, a bit of culture could make it better!

Tried a onion rings, it was like a thin sheet of paper, the batter was just fine though. The livers were a little bitter. The Maputo roll good. Would have preferred butter as opposed to margarine

Had a great meal at John Dory’s. Loved the ambiance, very friendly service, good food presentation and delicious food. We ordered, grilled calamari for starters and hake and prawns in the mains. However, I felt the quantity of the food when compared to the price was a bit little. But had a great meal. They also have great sushi platters too. Overall a good experience. Thank you.

John Dory's is a popular sushi restaurant chain known for its fresh seafood and extensive menu. While I cannot provide a personal review since I am an AI and do not have personal experiences, I can give you a general idea of what people often appreciate about John Dory's sushi. Many customers appreciate the quality and freshness of the seafood used in their sushi dishes. John Dory's often sources their fish from reputable suppliers, ensuring a high standard of taste and texture. The menu typically offers a variety of sushi rolls, sashimi, nigiri, and other Japanese-inspired dishes, providing options for both sushi enthusiasts and those new to Japanese cuisine. Customers also often mention the pleasant and inviting atmosphere of John Dory's restaurants. The ambiance is usually relaxed and comfortable, making it a suitable place for casual dining or even special occasions. The restaurant staff is usually attentive and knowledgeable about the menu, which can enhance the overall dining experience. It is essential to note that experiences can vary between different locations, as each restaurant may have its own unique ambiance and service quality. Therefore, it's always a good idea to check reviews specific to the John Dory's location you plan to visit to get a better understanding of what to expect. Ultimately, if you enjoy sushi and are looking for a restaurant with a diverse menu and a reputation for fresh seafood, John Dory's could be worth a try.

The waiting staff were very friendly and welcoming. The booths were clean and nicely lit. They had lots of options on the menu. The sushi was tasty and filling. I was also very impressed when they brought the white wine out with chilled wine glasses, something that most restaurants do not do. So that gave them an extra point. The sides were very yummy too.

I really like deep fried hake. I ordered that with a side of seasonal veggies. Additionally, I also ordered a side of mushroom sauce, but sadly it came in a tiny palm sized metal tin that was quite dissapointing. Because I really love mushroom sauce. John Dory's is one of the few restaurants in Lusaka offering a selection of sea foods at an affordable price. So I expected better.

We went for brunch. The experience was great. Lovely seafood collection, the food, staff, service, everything was wonderful 👌

John Dory’s - East Park Mall It has been a long time since we visited John Dory’s. What a huge variety of seafood, offered in the menu. We stuck to sushi …. the salmon platter and the family platter. We also had some Buffalo Prawn and fried calamari as starters. Each dish was done to perfection. Generous servings too. Service was excellent …. food came to our table promptly … a wonderful evening out.

Well laid out international airport. There are some comfortable restaurants on the air side. The duty-free shops are exorbitant tourist traps.

Kenneth Kaunda International Airport is functional but quite basic. The facilities are clean, and immigration staff are generally polite, but the airport could use some modernization and better organization. Baggage handling can be slow, and signage isn’t always clear for first-time travellers. It gets the job done, but there's definitely room for improvement in terms of comfort and efficiency.

Well the renovations certainly paid off. Inspite of people complaining about the quality of renovations, It's so much better than it was some years back. The lighting has been improved, the rooms refurbished and the addition of elevators has made accessibility better. Addition of eating places is a big plus + which has started attracting more and more people to the establishment but just for the occasional travel necessity, bust just to visit and have a pleasant time. It's worth mentioning though that Zambia has a lot of aircraft enthusiasts. And with that passion there's a need to watch aeroplanes coming in and taking off so they can just enjoy themselves. However KKIA does not have proper facilities where this can be done. It would be a huge favour to alot of people if they could make this possible at both the local and international terminals. If a small fee can be charged just so this potential facility could be accessed, I'm sure most of us would not mind.

Nice and small Good Airport ! Immigration officers are very Friendly and nice.

Leaving it is very easy, straightforward and overall just easy. Coming from elsewhere and dropping here is a slightly different experience. I don't know if this was a one-time thing but in the past 24hours of posting this review I visited 3 airports and all of them had the bridges ready for people to leave the planes, however this airport kind of waited last minute. Considering the fact my flight was delayed twice you'd think there wouldn't be more delays but sadly not everything goes as planned. The security was lovely most of the Guards and Assistants were kind, some just wouldn't smile back or look away after staring at you first - as a guard/assistant by the door don't stare at someone if you aren't going to wish them a safe journey or something. But overall everything was good just a little more practice on the time management and hospitality would give it 4 stars from me. 5 stars if there was more things to do there, like look at arts or something. It looked like the whole goal was to get you from point a - b as if us Zambians don't need tourism.

The new airport is better, nicer, and larger than the old one, which is now used for local flights. It features a VIP lounge, as well as several small cafes and shops, both indoor and outdoor. (Edit August 2025)

The airport was cleaned and green. The road leading to it is also good... Love its natural beauty. I didn't have issues getting there because my hotel was not far from the airport. The queue was ok and I did my check-in online...For the souvenirs shop, if you get time, get your souvenirs gift in town before leaving to the airport...I saw a hotel signal board at the airport but not sure if they have hotel inside the airport...

best gallery in lusaka. such a lovely place to see local artist work displayed. staff is very knowledgeable and friendly. owen at the front desk was especially great to chat with about the artists and upcoming shows. this is a can’t miss spot. ambiance is 10/10.

My cousin recommended the cappuccino and he was not wrong. It was frothy, smooth and delicious. I also had the bacon quiche and it was also delicious. A really lovely and relaxed space with beautiful art you can purchase. Some people optt to work here on their laptops. But for me this was purely a relaxing visit, I didn't feel like taking out my laptop. The staff are lovely, friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. O would definitely recommend a visit to this beautiful gallery/ cafe. The Rock Cafe is the cafe name on sight. There is also a small area selling beautiful items like copper bowls, ear rings, and other ornaments for the home.

We weren’t sure what to expect when we walked into the gallery, but we were genuinely blown away. It’s beautiful and inviting with a spacious cafe, and the art on display was not only beautiful but deeply moving. There’s a nice mix of styles, so there’s something for everyone, and we found ourselves getting lost in a few pieces longer than expected. The staff were friendly and happy to chat without being pushy, which made the whole experience feel even more relaxed. Honestly, it was a really refreshing way to spend an afternoon, I’d definitely recommend it.

37 d Gallery is tranquil and inspiring. A classy gallery to visit in Lusaka.

The place was spectacular, especially if you are someone who appreciates some fine art. My problem was definitely with the staff. They were extremely cold, uncaring, and unwelcoming as though our prescence was bothering them. The food is also way overpriced if you compare it to other places offering the same things. But if you don't mind the staff you will have a good time. My biggest disappointment was being unable to take pictures of the art.

Great brunch spot with lots of beautiful artworks to add to the ambience. Easy to locate in Kabulonga and nice quiet space with multiple sitting options. Not only can you grab a quick bite to eat you could also purchase some art and/or jewelry on the same premises. Service was great, little slow but very courteous and helpful. Tried the Thai Chicken Wrap and Pulled Pork wrap, the Pulled Pork Wrap was excellent. Certainly going back. The parking is on the outside only, but seems fairly safe.

Very cool, Accessible space, broken up well. Actual art was great. I understand the prices reflect a living wage for artists and not solely gallery rates.

Taste is very nice also they have varieties. Best for dinner dates & family get together

Their food is okay, average. The food didn't taste fresh. I had their biriyani. It tasted like it was old and they just reheated it. The silverware was dirty and I had to ask for clean ones. The table clothes were stained. Lots of flies in the restaurant.

Food was great. Service was good. It was a fantastic evening with friends.

One of the best Indian food I've ever ate! The service was very good.

Good food, 'classy ambience both in restaurant & outside at 'East Park mall'. Short but incessant rain shower 'closed down outside sitting area' despite being covered.

I dunno what I ate but it was not great. I asked the staff what is in the chefs special and she seemed dumb and did not tell me what was in the food. For all she knows I’m allergic to nuts and she just put them on my plate. On top of that I asked for chicken fried rice and got veg. Last of all me and my gf felt like throwing up so we didn’t finish the food and gave it to the homeless. Don’t eat here unless you know what your buying. P.S My last experience here was great (at Garden city). This time it did not live up to my expectations. Also the juice was cheap quality, unlike last time it was nice.

Delicious Indian food with many varieties in the menu and reasonable price.

Wonderful place to experience Crocodiles of all shapes & sizes, they have 1000+. A few snakes too. Good food & drinks available including Croc burgers! Our daughter enjoyed the playground and small pool with local school children on a visit. Shootout to Henry who explained more and showed us the big Crocs feeding on chickens! Good way to spend 2-3hrs in Lusaka

Had an amazing experience. Got a chance to see live crocodiles of different age groups and conquered my fear of seeing snakes face to face because they have big snakes to see too. Apart from live crocodiles they even stock crocodiles products from food to belts and more.

This place is absolutely amazing. Take your swimsuit, fishing rods, a picnic, and lay under the large shady trees. There is a child's play ground available with swings. The pool areas are stunning with huge palm trees. There is a resturant to buy food (my son tired the world famous crocodile burger) and a souvenir shop (got myself some crocodile oil soap). I see you can stop by the entrance to purchase crocodile meat to cook at home (without paying for entrance). Large variety of snakes, and they are well cared for and active. The crocs are magnificent and there is this one that is a MONSTER! You'll never see a croc as big as him. Wish I had taken the fishing rod, as they have ponds specified for fishing. There is a large amount of mature trees, with signs telling you what they are. Flowers in winter? This is definitely the place. Fun day out for the kids. Would definitely recommend. The only downside to the park is there is rubbish thrown into the main crocodile pond. I saw alcohol cans and empty water bottles etc. I guess who is going to go in that large pond area to clean up rubbish, with over 20 crocodiles? Can't blame them, but possibly restrict people with food and drink from that area to avoid people throwing rubbish over the side. It's sad to see a crocodile laying next to rubbish. One star lost because of this factor. Regardless, definitely a complete day out with many activities all in one spot.

Great experience, well worth a visit! Staff were friendly and told us a lot about the various animals they have. One thing I really liked, was the signs included the local language names of the animals. We also had some crocodile snags (sausages) and they were great!

Was very interesting to see the enormous Nile Crocodiles. They have a lot there. You could also hold a snake which was interesting. They have a tiny souvenir shop with a few interesting things. You can also buy crocodile meat and leather. I had the crocodil kebab which was very flavourful and cost K145. I enjoyed the afternoon there. There were some trash with the crocodiles which was sad to see.

Good 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 but K100 is not worth fir entry fee is to wrong i seriously suggest you don't waste money because only some crocodile and some snake that's it

I had a great time at Kalimba Reptile Park. The staff are amazing. They showed us around and answered all our questions (shout out to Mr Chingwere 😆). I am dead scared of snakes and crocodiles but they made me feel comfortable and secure. I did not get to touch the Snake like everyone else did 😂😂😂 but I did hold the tortoise and the lil baby crocodile 🤣. I had a hard time getting the courage to hold the croc, but I did eventually ☺️ (ps, they're sooo cute omgggg 😆😆). The tortoise was easy to hold because, it's a tortoise 🤣🤣 it hid in it's shell. It wasn't as scary ☺️. The food!!! You should definitely try out the crocodile burger (it was my first time). It was delicious, I can't recommend it enough!! Try it, try it, try it!! You won't regret it!! Overall,it's a nice place to chill and just unwind around reptiles, lol. The stories behind each reptile are rich, detailed and interesting!

They did not put salt, tomato sauce and sarviettes in our order. The chicken was delicious but the chips were on the dry side.

I just had two terrible experiences. Last time the chicken tasted bland, also had a slightly darker colour like the oil had been used for a long time. Today I ordered a cone, it tasted stale. Otherwise, I like your food it's my go to fast food place, just hope they'll be some improvements next time I come by.

Hungry Lion has multiple restaurants doted around the country. Lusaka City has the most of these. They all serve the same thing; fried chicken and sides to make a meal. You can choose between Chilli and no Chilli. They have a selection of drinks as well which are reasonably priced. One of the few restaurants you can go to to buy a drink and not be ripped off. Depending on where the outlest is, your experience changes ever so slightly. But the food, the food never changes. It's great of you love this chicken (and I do), but not so good if you crave variety. This particular Hingry Lion is located at East Park mall so, mall parking is plenty. Also, plenty of competition along side. As of writing this review, a pizza place next door burger joint a shop away, and restaurants with more variety (proper restaurants) close by. What Hungry Lion does best, is price. The value for money you get here is only beaten by a super market. Also, their chicken is awesome. It's a clean establishment. Has music through speakers. Service time is average. 10-15 minutes tops even at peak times.

Lovely burgers and sundaes. The caramel Sunday is yummy . The burger size is just right: value for money . The chicken is too good

I Don't taste but my friend with me who tasted and saying oil too much. Taste is not too good But okay okay... 😐 Variety bucket.. But not enough variety only 1 without chilli 🌶 another with chilli 🌶 that's they only variety available in variety bucket.. Over all not satisfied with service.. .😐

We enjoyed our burger and chips! Food was fresh and warm.

It's a fast food chain so you expect pretty much the same as you get from all other locations. The food is great if you're craving their chicken and/or fries. Chicken can tend to be oily as is expected of fast food Fast service, friendly staff, usually enough sitting space.

Latitude 15 Degrees, Lusaka: The Ultimate Long-Stay Oasis Having had the opportunity to stay at Latitude 15 Degrees for over 45 days, I can confidently say this is one of the best hotels for both short and extended trips to Lusaka. The facility seamlessly blends comfort, style, and world-class service into a peaceful retreat. The rooms and facilities are truly superb. I loved the authentic decor and concept, which gives the entire property a distinct, boutique feel. The attention to detail in the design is exceptional. Where Latitude 15 truly shines is its staff and service. The service is top-notch, and all the staff members are super friendly and genuinely helpful, creating a welcoming atmosphere that is consistent throughout your stay. The dining experience is enjoyable, with nice food and a reliable breakfast. While the menu variety naturally becomes limited after a month of daily dining, the quality remains high. For entertainment, the hotel features live singers or performances on weekends, adding a vibrant energy. Be sure to book a table well in advance, as these events draw a crowd and the restaurant gets super busy. Finally, for practical peace of mind in Lusaka, the hotel is a winner. Despite the frequent power outages common in the city, the hotel is equipped with generators, ensuring your stay is peaceful and quiet, and you won't be impacted by any power interruptions. Verdict: Latitude 15 Degrees is a superior choice for accommodation in Lusaka. It is a peaceful, well-run, and stylish hotel that provides a genuine sanctuary, backed by excellent staff and essential amenities like reliable power. Highly recommended.

I can't say much about the rooms because I have not yet experienced it yet. The service, location and visibility is on point. I would recommend visiting even for lunch and dinner.( If you want you can book a room to fully immerse yourself with the experience LATITUDE 15 DEGREES has to offer.) They make sure you're warm too with their heaters 🙌🏾💪🏾📍 And also every Friday there is good music to kick start the evening. The service is handled by professionals who understand the assignment.

Dead on arrival. Especially past 8pm. The other restaurants MENUE is bad and there's no energy around the place and it's depressing from the vibes. I'd say you add some good up lift music and songs, revamp the lighting and check your timings

An excellent choice in Lusaka, about 30-40 minutes from the airport, a drive which gives a view through the city in its variety. The hotel is like an art gallery inside - so tastefully done. I can't think of another hotel I've ever been to with such attention to the variety and quality of local art. Truly lovely. The rooms are beautiful though the beds are quite hard. Also, the live music was very loud, making it hard to sleep. The food is great - I can recommend staying in food meals. The service, though friendly, is very slow. For example, we waited at our table for 45 minutes for our food after we ordered, though the restaurant did not seem busy. Overall, I can recommend it, despite these notes.

A very nice hotel. Room was quite big and bed comfortable. There is also amazing art all around the hotel. Food and service in the restaurant was very good.

Ordered food and waited over an hour for it to be served. Food (platter) was really cold, pizza was extremely dry(practically cardboard) and the ribs were undercooked. We sent the food back to be warmed up and when it came back from being heated up part of the platter was missing and was never brought back and ribs were not any better. The waiter would disappear for long periods and we’d have to ask other servers to help locate him. Overall terrible experience.

This is my second year in Lusaka, but I have never seen worse restaurant service than this. When I entered the restaurant, I asked if Airtel payment was accepted since I had forgotten my card today. The waiter said yes. After finishing my meal, I made the Airtel payment exactly as instructed and even added an extra 20 kwacha for the cash-out fee. Worried about possible network delays, I waited another 10 minutes. Yet after a full 30 minutes, they claimed they hadn’t received the payment. The waiter even held me at the front desk and refused to let me leave, treating me like a thief, saying I must wait for their accountant to verify it. Even Yango delivery drivers confirm Airtel payments faster than this. Every receptionist, even the white manager, said nothing to explain or apologize — they just made me wait. I will never come to this restaurant again, and I will share my dining experience on every platform. If you want to be treated like a thief, then go ahead — otherwise, take my advice and stay away.

Don't go alone. Cheap entry fee of K25 but the place is finished. Only two lions, lots of monkeys and lazy, dead looking crocs

This is the opposite of a wildlife sanctuary. Would recommend you never go there. There’s very few animals and zero information about them, with the animals being kept in terrible conditions: in the pictures you can see the pool of some lizards full of plastic everywhere and the only lion they have, kept on a very small cage. The guide had zero information to add, she was basically just indicating us the way. The extra facilities are not operational: the bar, the restaurant, the pool, the slide. The government should close this place immediately.

The place needs more funding for maintenance. My 6 and 2 year olds however, loved loved the place... It was good family time... There were some swings, and a struggling jumping castle... we were not sure about the pool so we didn't swim... but the pool was open and there were some kids swimming.

The place is ideal for picnics and is absolutely calm and peace, I'm giving three stars because the toilets are not good at all. The animal viewing is great though the tour guide is not as exciting. Otherwise I'll be going there all the time

I've never been disappointed before my entire life, I expected to park but to my surprise the place is poorly or literally maintained Its ugly and am never going to visit that place again I wouldnt recommend it at all..

Enjoyed our day. Recommended for residents not really for tourist. Play park needs renovation. Lovely places to picknock. Fun for kids especially if you have been in Zambia for awhile. Structures need rehabilitation but I was happy to see a good number of animals. For the price it was definitely worth it.

Nice place to visit. Can go with friends and family Lot of animals are there even lion 🐅 zebra, Empala, crocodiles, duck, monkey, baboons, donkey's and many more the park was good swimming pool also there.. Over all nice places to go on weekend. A bit crowded.. I enjoyed a lot but that walk inside the park make me tired 😅 Not very far from Town 50 Kwacha entrance fee for foreigner ppl 30 Kwacha for local ppl

A good market that gives you a range of choices especially on low budget items.

Genuine and affordable. The place is really nice if you're looking for a hands on shopping experience. Be sure to visit LUCKY KICKS at shop number B342

Busy and lively market with lots of variety from clothes, shoes, and accessories to food and everyday items. Prices are usually better than at malls, and you can bargain for good deals. It can be crowded and hectic, so you have to be careful with your belongings, but it's a great place if you're looking for affordable shopping.

LUSAKA is a very nice place in the same areas @lake road ibex along kabulonga

Trading space occupied by cross border traders from the comesa region offering cheaper clothing and household goods such as kitchenware and beddings . The place is known for being overcrowded with very small alleys. Liquor traders can also be found at comesa market.

Very nice place for shopping

Salulu, used clothing. Selling bales of used clothing

The best restaurant in lusaka this is number one They have a good service, delicious food and nice views I like this place Mashallah they have halal food Part of the secret of a success in life is to eat what you like and let the food fight it out inside.

A clean and soothing place to be. We all need some air once in a while and to remember our African culture.

It is a good area near the government complex in Lusaka and the Lusaka national museum.

Great spot and easy to access. The washing machine repair we did there well very well.

Found the statue a little disappointing. Apart from the fact that it is not really accessible, there is no real explanation of what it is about. The significance is consequently lost on people that don't already know its origin. Everything seems to be run down a little, and could need some TLC.

It was really a wonderful experience, I loved every moment of it❤️

The Freedom Statue, around the corner from the Lusaka National Museum, is dedicated to freedom fighters and those who lost their lives in the struggle for Zambia’s independence. The depiction of a man breaking his chains symbolises the country’s break with colonial bondage and was erected to celebrate Zambia’s independence in 1964. It’s a popular place for Africa Freedom Day celebrations (25 May).

Good place to start with when you visit Zambia and want to know of its political, social, and cultural history and evolution. Had a good guide who took us through the exhibitions and explains to us the stories behind it. Great setup and would definitely visit again.

Good place to visit if you're interested in Zambia's history

It was very informative..it had cross information on Jamaica and other islands. I like how they inter connect the relativeness of its historical contribution to other countries...Definitely worth going.

Very 👍 ce and lots of information. The 3 brothers crimes I was not aware. The history is well documented

It's a decent place to spend a couple of hours. I wouldn't feel sad if I missed it, but I'm glad I went. --What's there-- Floor 1: 95% dedicated to Zambia's first president Kenneth Kaunda. All the information feels like it was written by his press secretary as it's overwhelmingly positive. He comes across as a saint with a flawless reign of positivity and a legacy of gold. Reading through it was interesting and it sounds like he did a lot of good stuff, but it feels odd to have a museum exhibit written in such a one sided manner. Floor 2: 50% is a decent walk through of Zambia's political history, filling in the timeline pretty well. It goes over the ups and downs, explaining the things that seemed to have been missed on floor 1. I learnt a ton in this part. The remaining 50% is on evolution, as they found an important skull in Zambia.

Just woow. This place was absolutely spectacular 👌. A must visit. It's for all the history junkies and art enthusiasts. It was such a knowledge rich place absolutely beautiful 😍. I would definitely recommend. You will definitely learn a lot. From the history of humans to Zambia fight for freedom to how Zambia grew and flourished as well as about its culture and not forgetting all the wonderful leaders that have ruled over the country and brought it where it is today.

Interesting museum. I was expecting more arts exhibited, however the museum has some interesting historical artefacts and photographs on display. It was nice to learn more about Zambia and the development of democracy in this country.

The place has great potential and it has the basic facilities for a comfortable stay. Our stay had some inconvenients not mentioned or expected. However it was the first place in a long time in Africa where the manager was truly able to listen, consider and respond appropriately. We felt a good costumer service and hope future travelers will enjoy their stay with no trouble.

Convenient location for the bus terminal but for the cost it was very basic. Its a nice place with friendly staff but the price was way too much

Our stay a had some challenges, but the manager’s response made a big difference. He was very understanding, apologized. His kindness and effort to make things right left us with a much better impression.

Great value for money. The rooms are not fantastic but the price is right for what you get. I will go back

I stayed here back in 2016 when I travelled across sevr African countries in 12 months. Overall the quality was good for a hostel in Africa. I was sitting in the bar and Africa by Toto was playing on the TV, good times.

The problem is that when you arrive there you will find no rooms available which you saw they have plenty available rooms on the booking.com. you will carry a big heavy backpack to find a new one in the dark. in the Dorm no mosquito nets can be provided.

After many years we just shortly visited this place in the hearth of Lusaka. Many things have changed there. The restaurant area was much bigger. Place was friendly and food was ok.

The burger they showed on the menu screen did not match what came out which was pretty disappointing. Definitely room for improvement on the burger. On the bright side, the milkshake was okay.

Stopped by for a quick bite. Tried the deep-fried chicken strips (served with fries and salads), decent but nothing outstanding for K160. Our pleasant waiter ensured prompt service.

Loved the lighting in the place,the food is amazing ,am happy I didn’t have to wait for so long ,my food came hot of which I loved the most ,the place has great variety of drinks and mixers anyone would enjoy 👌

Zoran Cafe is one of the few places that's been incredibly consistent with its excellent service delivery and great food. I love how the restaurant has an intercom system on every table that allows you to press a button to either make an order, need help or want the bill. I can't stress how convenient that is. Both the restaurant and bar are beautiful too with a nice atmosphere

Absolutely loved this place! The service was splendid. Quick and efficient, the food amazing! Was looking for a menu online before going there.. couldn’t find one so here’s the menu as at 18th February 2021. If you’re looking for a serene classy environment with no hustle,this is it

Generally, I wouldn't say I like to eat inside most of the shopping malls (especially in Lusaka) because customers are usually close to the parking (depressive steel & cement feel or cars & cement view) or a bunch of people are passing by. Zoran Caffè's is slightly different, being on the food court (upper part) of Levy Mall. No matter I didn't like the (relatively new) interior redesign, which, for my liking, has a too rich and earthy colour scheme, I heard many good things about the food, so I bravely stepped into :) and ordered (mainly because I was in a hurry) a burger, avocado/halloumi salad, and freshly squeezed (vitamin bomb) juice. The burger patty was one of the best I ever had in Zambia, fresh and soft, which for me is 50% of burger success. Actually, (the entire) burger was excellent. I just tried chips; they were not dry or too oily, being reasonably tasty, but I didn't eat them mainly because I tried to avoid chips / french fries, especially when I did find out that many restaurants are deep frying them (not sure for Zoran Cafe) in the same oil for a more extended period (whole day) which is literate poison for the body. Avocado & halloumi salad was delicious, but I wouldn't say I like halloumi cold (or, in this case, not warm). It's funny how in Lusaka, at local restaurants, I rarely enjoy halloumi as I enjoy it when it's prepared at home with butter and on a pan. Maybe it is just because of the halloumi brands that I'm buying, compared to some restaurants. However, the salad was decent, while freshly squeezed juice (vitamin bomb) tasted like it was missing some ingredients (betroot) and ice, being not cold enough. In the end, the meal was surprisingly alright, but somewhat older interior design/furniture I didn't find inviting, no matter if the ambience was O.K.

Highly recommend going here for any occasion. They have a wide variety of delicious food and very attentive and caring staff. Even though the word cafe is in the name, the dining experience is truly revolutionary with seating areas inside the cozy restaurant, a seating area right outside the restaurant in the mall, and a bar and sports viewing section outside. Each day, they bake fresh cakes that are truly delicious! Have eaten at this restaurant multiple times since coming to Zambia and it almost feels like a second home. For food, definitely recommend the Lamb Shank, the Beef and Broccoli Lo Mein, and the Steak Medallions
