From Flame-Grilled Favorites to Authentic Zimbabwean Flavours!
The Experience
At EMASEM, we believe great food is part of the adventure. We offer a variety of dining experiences to refuel your family, ensuring quick convenience and memorable flavors, all while celebrating the best of local Zimbabwean produce.
🥩 The Mutoko Road Grill (Signature Restaurant)
This is our premier dining spot, focusing on flame-grilled and quality meals. Named after our location, we specialize in hearty portions of nyama choma (grilled meats—beef, chicken, and often boerewors), served with park favorites like crispy chips and fresh salads. Look out for our signature platter that features a modern twist on local sadza and muriwo (greens).
