Zim Braai

Bringing African food to Poole in a stylish yet traditional way using time honoured cooking methods, wrapped up with first class dining service, striking design and an accessible atmosphere, Zim offers the vibrant and diverse food and culture drawn from Southern Africa with heavy influences from Zimbabwe, South Africa, Mozambique and Malawi as well as the south eastern islands of Mauritius, the Seychelles, Madagascar and the Spice Island of Zanzibar. A traditional wood-charcoal Braai is the main focal point of the kitchen: it provides huge versatility to cook a wide range of grilled meats and fish. Cast iron Potjies allow for traditional stews and curries to be cooked and presented in a unique way. This is blended with traditional sides, vibrant and superfood salads for truly new and “good for you” food.

We received a warm welcome the staff were attentive and helpful and service was exceptional. The food was outstanding and the portions were just right. We did find that the music was rather loud and made conversation difficult especially as one of our party has hearing difficulties and despite adjusting hearing aids did not resolve the problem.

Delicious

As soon as I walked into the restaurant I had a good feeling. The cocktails were gorgeous and the staff so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s a great relaxed atmosphere and the food was delicious, worth every penny. If you’re unsure what anything is on the menu the staff will happily talk you through it and guide you. I will definitely be back,

Great evening
