Can you spell “Tourist Trap”? - We were hoping for a tasty, spirited evening of authentic Zimbabwean food, drink and entertainment, but we left feeling quite unfulfilled.
For starters, as the previous reviewer wrote, as soon as you enter the facility you are invited to step on a podium, shake your bootie and whack away at a conga drum while a ring light attached to a camera spins around you filming your experience. After your 30 seconds of fame, you are shown the clip and solicited for $10 US to have it transferred to your own phone. It would have been nice to have been told about the cost up front, rather than naively assuming that this is done for all guests as part of the meal ticket.
After declining the video, we were immediately accosted by another vendor who wanted us to shake our booties again, this time with a live African dancing team. We said no thanks to that one, without finding out what the damage would have been.
Our senses of excitement, anticipation and relaxation were all gone by now, having been replaced by stress, as we anticipated having to face more offers before we would be seated. Fortunately, we only had the prance through the small gift shop before we were escorted to our table.
The previous reviewer described the setting and the food perfectly. All the meet was overcooked, save for the poor lamb, whose carcass was stretched over the fire pit. We tried the lamb, but could only find fat under the skin and 0 meat.
A series of entertainers were brought out to create a festive atmosphere (which they did) and presumably, to distract diners from the modest quality of food on their plates. The tables were fairly dark, so you couldn’t get a good look at what had been served, which was all buffet style, with a special servery set up to offer a local delicacy, grub worms, or something like that.
We enjoyed the final entertainers, a drumming ensemble. Prior to their act beginning, dozens of conga drums were distributed around the room so that diners could beat along with the players ( and in our case, have an outlet for our frustrations). We did enjoy them.
We left feeling like we missed an opportunity to taste real, well-prepared Zimbabwean food. Bimah has all the trappings of a typical tourist trap, which readers here will recognize as standard elements (unfortunately) or most tours i attractions worldwide.

Poor food, OK entertainment - We were very much looking forward to this, as we enjoy cultural entertainment and trying local fare.
As you enter, you pass by people trying to sell you wares and engage you in dance (for a fee of course). The venue itself is outdoors but covered with tables scattered in all directions around the entertainment (very few directly in front).
The food was very disappointing -- the meat was tough (all of us), and the side dishes and desserts were just ok. The service was also lacking. The entertainment was decent -- they provided everyone drums, which was fun to try.
I would imagine there are better venues to taste African Braai.

Apaling - Trip Advisor did not send them the money, while I payed on April 16. The restaurant does not accept guests before payment. Although they said they will get the money at the beginning of June, I asked them to come, since I payed, but they refused, telling me to ask for a refund and go there on Friday May 29, instead of Thursday May 19, so to be a present for my birthday. I tried to cancel Wednesday at 15:47, that is 27 hours before the event, but again the system did not allow me to do so. Very "professional" partners you have. Bravo to them and to you too.
