Central Harare's Favorite Stopover
Located just 50 meters from the bustling Roadport bus terminal on Fifth Road, Bamboo Chicken was founded to serve travelers, commuters, and Harare residents fast food that never cuts corners.
We noticed that central commuters wanted something crisp, piping hot, and full of flavor to take on their journeys. We set out to refine local recipes, focusing on producing the absolute crunchiest chicken wraps, steaming beef buns, and high-quality local hand-cut potato chips.
"Taste the Bamboo Magic"
Crispy & Juicy is Our Oath
A Bridge of Two Worlds
While we are famous for our golden-fried Western fast-food staples like chicken nuggets, wraps, and crispy chips, we are deeply rooted in Zimbabwean culinary tradition.
We believe that no eatery in central Harare is complete without the ultimate local comfort food. That is why we cook hot, fluffy white Sadza throughout the day, served with slow-cooked aromatic beef stew and local kovo greens. It is wholesome comfort food that tastes like home.
Three Rules of the Bamboo Kitchen
Fresh Local Potatoes
We never use frozen, imported bags. We source fresh local potatoes, hand-peeling and thin-slicing them to create our signature golden chips daily.
Double-Battered Crunchy Crust
To achieve the "Crispy & Juicy" texture, our chicken is hand-massaged with a spice rub, double-battered in seasoned flour, and cooked at precise temperatures.
Always Affordable
With a Chicken Piecer and Med Chips at just $1.50, and full plates like Sadza & Beef or Fried Rice at $3, we ensure high quality is accessible to all.
