"From the moment I walked into this restaurant, I was greeted by the kindest human being, Mike, who showed me to my table upstairs. He was extremely friendly and recommended some of the best drinks and food on the menu. And let me tell you, the food and drinks were truly exceptional.We started off with the catfish nuggets with the remoulade sauce, and I have to say that I have never tasted anything like it before. The batter was fried to perfection, and the catfish was absolutely amazing. We then moved on to the chicken and waffles, which came with several different sides. The waffle was fluffy, moist and had the perfect flavor to combine with the delicious chicken. For sides, I highly recommend the cabbage, grits, and mac and cheese. This was my first time trying grits, and I don't think I can ever eat them anywhere else without being disappointed. The cabbage was also nothing like I've ever had before, and it was simply delicious.To top it all off, the chef came to our table to chat with us about his passion for cooking and the story behind his style of food. Chef O has been cooking since he was young, having learned from his grandmother, and has also received formal culinary training. You can truly see his passion reflected in the food.Overall, this is one of the best soul food restaurants I have ever been to, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is looking for exceptional food and outstanding service. Even if you have to make a long drive to get there, it's definitely worth it."

"I wanted some soul food for Sunday dinner so I came here since I was in the area. It was around 6 pm and the place wasn't crowded, no long line. It's decorated nicely with lots of license plates from Mississippi.Now let's get down to why I gave them 3 stars. Two ladies had placed their orders before I came and warned me to not get my hopes up high if I came for ox tails, Greens, or pork chops. Should have listened to the warning. But me thinking... I'm not here for ox tails or chops, I ordered smothered chicken, green beans, black-eyed peas and rice, and candied yams. And another order of catfish, green beans, Mac and cheese. Paid 45 dollars and some change. Sat down and waited for my order. As I sat I looked at my receipt and noticed that fried chicken not smothered was on the receipt. Had to get up and correct it. Then about 15 mins in I'm told no more yams. What? After I paid. They had a sign stating no refund, so I had to choose from what they had left on the menu. I WAS BIG DISAPPOINTED!!! I received fried chicken with gravy on top which was too salty for my liking. I ended up getting the potato salad instead of the yams which were ok. Tasted like store-bought and docked up. Everything else was OK. My boyfriend enjoyed his catfish dinner. He said the mac and cheese was wack but enjoyed the rest of his plate.I'm one for a 2nd try any place can have a bad day. Hope I can catch them on a good day!"

"We were very disappointed with our favorite restaurant!. We went to Zanzibar Soul Fusion for an early dinner on Saturday night (6/15/13). We arrived very early, around 4:30 and were seated outside on the patio in Zanzibar 's new location, which was previously Sergio 's Sarava. It took our waitress, Sandra, a while to get to us. There were two other tables occupied on the patio and she had the whole section. We ordered appetizers: fried green tomatoes and Soul Rolls. Both arrived cold and obviously having sat in the window for a while as the lettuce was wilting under each dish. The tomatoes were greasy! We never got appetizer dishes and, instead had to eat off of the serving dishes. My cousin asked about a specific martini. Our waitress told us they didn 't make that drink but that she would bring us martini menus. The martini menus never arrived, with Sandra missing her first chance to up our checks and her tip! We ordered and she never asked us what we wanted to drink, missing another chance to up our bottom lines. Our food was brought out by a different server. We both ordered the chicken and waffles, our favorite dish there. The waffles were raw in the middle and the chicken was gamy and overcooked (like it had sat and been reheated), as were the greens my cousin ordered a la carte. We mentioned the underdone waffles and over-done, old tasting chicken, and tough greens to Sandra and she said okay and walked away. The next time we saw her she was bringing our checks. Sandra never offered or tried to sell dessert to us; yet another time she could have up-sold us but didn 't. Every time we finished our waters, we had to ask for refills which were slow in coming. All of this being said, we will go back to Zanzibar, because this is the first real problem we have had there. I must say that every other time we have gone (in their old location, next to the movie theater) the owner has been present and we know he could not have been there this past Saturday because he is a stickler for customer service and quality so this latest experience was a real shock! We know he was not present when we were there or these things would have been rectified, immediately! Is it because they have not settled in to the new location? Is there someone new in the kitchen? Does the staff need some retraining? All of these are possible reasons for the breakdown in service and quality but none of them are excuses!"

"My cousin C.B. invited me to lunch to which I gracefully accepted. She asked if I ever heard of a Soul Food Chess. I said no. She said you'll like it. C.B's a food connoisseur. We're so alike because she does NOT play games when it comes to food! So I trust her.When we arrived first thing that hit me before we even opened the door was the tantalizing smell of food!! It automatically whet my appetite. Upon entering this establishment we were greeted by the owner, who was a friendly gentleman. I asked him how was the collards prepared he said they didn't use any meat to make them. I liked that!C.B. knew what she wanted immediately ordered smothered Turkey Wings, (2 sides: Mac Cheese, Potato Salad, (2 Waters. I ordered Oxtails, (2 sides: cabbage, collards, (1 Water.C.B. I added Cornbread to the order afterward. It didn't take long to receive our orders. I said a prayer thanked God for our meal.When I opened the container I was stunned food portions were very generous! I also had multiple meaty pieces of large sized Oxtails with next to NO FAT! I was absolutely flabbergasted! (If you know.. You KNOW!! C.B. I shared samples of food with each other, then we dug in. I really enjoyed my meal, it was well seasoned. The food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, REALLY DELICIOUS!! We both couldn't eat all of our food in one sitting. Mine served me (2 more times! I HIGHLY recommend this place.Vegetarian options: The flesh free collards were fantastic!"
