Zweli's Kitchen

Visited as a party of 3. Ordered oxtail meal, chicken meal, and chicken sandwich meal. The portions are large. Everything was served hot and fresh. The oxtails were tasty!!! The peanut butter rice bites were a new experience- loved them with the curry cabbage. Loved the chakalaka, sadza, and made to perfection chicken. The chicken sandwich was tasty. The ambiance speaks to your soul. Customer service was on point - very polite, attentive, and efficient. The owners were very humble. The place is spotless. Perfect for date night.

Outstanding meal from only Zimbabwean restaurant nearby. We tried a wide assortment of vegetarian sides to share and everyone enjoyed everything! Highlights were chakalaka (smoky sweet, little bit spicy beans), greens with peanut butter flavoring, and curry fried cabbage. One of our party said the veggie samosas were the best thing she ever ate, and I can see why. Quite different and delicious. Update: Went for mother's day buffet...perfect! Plus, moms got a hand-decorated chocolate covered strawberry.

I've been in the area for a while, and one of the things I've felt was missing whenever I tried a new restaurant is HEARTINESS. I often feel like I've eaten, but rarely belly-rubbing content.

My first stop at Zweli's for lunch today took care of that. Simple, fresh, spicy food that left my belly very happy. The chakalaka is delicious and the collards (with peanut butter and spices... It works together so well) are incredible!

This place has really great food! I have never had Zimbabwean food before, but it was amazing. The owner stopped by our table to see how we were enjoying the food and it turns out that he built all of the furniture himself in the entire restaurant! It was really nice to talk with him for a bit and find out the story behind the restaurant. The service was great and the food was the best comfort food ever. I will definitely be going back the next time I am in the Durham area.

We loved our lunch here. This place has a friendly atmosphere and a good feel. I highly recommend the samosas, both beef and vegetable which were delicious, the oxtail was superb also, cooked in a richly flavoured sauce. Our server let us try all of the sides before choosing. Will come again.
