Upstate & Denga — two sides of the same evening.
A modern African eatery and a third-space lounge, sharing one address and one philosophy. From lunch to after-work to after-dark, these are rooms designed for real life: food, drink, and atmosphere that let you exhale.
A modern African eatery.
Harare’s modern table — easy, confident, and grounded in local flavour.
Upstate is built around a simple idea: food should feel like home, without being predictable. Our menus lean into local ingredients and influences, then rework them with a modern touch. No theatrics, no performance — just food that makes sense, tastes good, and keeps you coming back.
The menu starts with comfort — grills, pastas, sharing plates, dishes you don’t have to learn — then adds detail. Better produce, cleaner flavours, smart pairings. You recognise what’s on your plate, but the execution is sharper than you expect.

When the day ends, Denga begins.
Your third space — the calm between work and the world.
Denga was created for the hours that don’t belong to anyone but you. Not the office, not home — the in-between. It’s the place you drift to when you’re not ready to call it a night, but you’re done with noise.
The lights are low, the cocktails thoughtful, the music soft but certain. Denga runs on a music spine — curated DJs, considered playlists, and a sound level that keeps the room moving without swallowing the conversation.
