4/10I had the vegetable curry which consisted of spinach, zucchini, tomatoes with skins on and another green leafy thing swimming in a sauce. I think they took the left over old veggies and threw them in. Also had the chefs couvert which consisted of nice olives and a wedge of indifferent cheese, a samosa with mince and two fried balls of indeterminate heritage. I ate them all as I was hungry and just as well as the vegetable curry was not great. My husband had the salmon salad and the sautéed mushrooms which were nice but were picked as the rest of the menu didn't look too inviting. A beautiful setting but lacklustre food

7.5/10The area where we were sitting had these very unpleasant ceilings lights straight to our eyes and it was hard to see the people in front, not to say how annoying it is having to eat the whole meal with that light straight in your eyes. The food was good and so was the service. The best dish to us was the duck ;) strongly recommend! Shrimp Laurentina Style was also very pleasant.
Zambeze • Owner

3/10The restaurant opens relatively early, likely to cater to tourists. We had a reservation for 7:30 and the restaurant did not open its doors until 7:45. We were then seated in an empty restaurant and ignored by the staff, so walked out at 8:00 with the restaurant still empty.

The food was mediocre. The octopus salad was mostly fat, and the main dishes lacked flavor. Service was slow. The outdoor tent was loud. Would not recommend because the food should be way better for the $$$.

9/10We don’t exactly enjoy ZAMBEZE. While the food was very good the service was seriously lacking. They had several large parties and completely forgot about us; even though we told them it was our 30th wedding anniversary. At the end of the meal, the server apologized “sorry for the mess” his exact words. What a let down
Zambeze • Owner

We truly appreciate your feedback and assure you that we will address this issue to prevent similar situations in the future. We would love the opportunity to welcome you again for a much more pleasant and memorable experience.
