By Desire Tshuma
Harare – On Saturday evening, Valentine’s Day, Tawaz Bar & Restaurant opened its doors to journalists and media professionals for an after‑hours celebration that turned the central business district venue into a lively hub of camaraderie and gratitude.
Owner Mr. Tawanda ‘Tawaz’ Chisasa welcomed the press with a smile and a toast, acknowledging the pivotal role reporters play in his business’s success. “You are not just our customers; you are our storytellers, our ambassadors,” he said, raising a glass of Glenfiddich, one of the premium whiskies on offer.
“Thank you for your continued support and for helping put Tawaz on the map of Harare’s vibrant nightlife.”
The event, coordinated by well‑known media practitioner Mpume, highlighted the symbiotic relationship between local enterprises and the press.
“It’s refreshing to see a business that values the media beyond advertising,” Mpume remarked.
“Tawaz has created a space where we can unwind, network, and even hold private meetings without leaving the city centre. We appreciate his generosity and look forward to many more collaborations.”
Tawaz’s menu lived up to its promise of “any dish of your choice.” From sizzling braai platters and hearty sadza to international favourites, the kitchen delivered a feast that kept guests satisfied well into the night.
The bar stocked a wide selection of beers—local lagers, imported ales, and a signature cold brew—alongside braai options of fish, chicken, pork, beef, and sausages, ensuring every palate was catered for.
For those seeking discretion, Tawaz offers private compartments equipped with comfortable seating and sound‑proofing, ideal for confidential discussions over a cold drink and good food.
“We understand that sometimes business needs a quiet corner,” explained Mr. Sasha, the restaurant’s manager, who oversaw the evening’s service.
“Our private rooms provide that, and we’re happy to see journalists using them for editorial meetings and interviews.”
The night’s atmosphere blended relaxed networking with genuine appreciation. Journalists exchanged story ideas while staff circulated with trays of braai and chilled drinks, reinforcing the venue’s reputation as a welcoming, all‑inclusive spot in Harare’s bustling CBD.
As the evening wound down, Mr. Tawaz reiterated his gratitude:
“To all members of the media, thank you for being part of our journey. Your support fuels our growth, and we’re committed to serving you with the same passion you bring to your work.”
With its tasty cuisine, extensive beverage options, and thoughtful amenities, Tawaz Bar & Restaurant has cemented itself as more than just a place to eat and drink—it’s a community hub where Harare’s storytellers feel at home.
