The former "pariah state" on Maasdorp, Belgrado is born with a solid menu and an excellent cocktail menu. Pizza was really good! Try the chicken curry dish!!

I absolutely loved Pariah ,Belgravia, I loved the service , our attendant checked on us to see if we needed anything, our food was fresh and exactly what I needed since I was hungry (such that I forgot to take a pic) . The place was chilled and tables , plates , glasses were clean. Reasonable prices . They need to put a bigger board for visibility, I had a bit of a hustle trying to find it otherwise everything was superb

Great ambience. It’s my go to place in Harare. You usually see groups of friends and laughs all over the place. Went there around 8 pm on a Wednesday and still found the place live and kicking, up to about 10:30pm. You can sit in the garden or inside. Their food is well cooked and reasonably priced. I had battered hake on this occasion. Their alcohol is also quite diverse. The waiters are very cheerful and helpful

This place tops everything, food quality, staff presence, great atmosphere, great location. If you are to visit a Pariah location. It has to be this place right here. You'll eat until your heart is content. The food is incredible and the prices are quite generous
