Zanzibar Soul Fusion - Cleveland

Google black owned business while in Cleveland Ohio and this spectacular restaurant pops up. The pictures, atmosphere, staff, food, drinks, the list can go on of how wonderful this restaurant is. We went during All Star weekend and its located minutes away from the Cavalier's arena so there was a bit of wait. The peach cooler was said the be divine. The house potatoes was a step up for scalloped potatoes. The greens were cooked in the most succulent way. Thw rice and salmon cakes were a must try and they did not fail. My only complaint was the macaroni and cheese was just macaroni. I was sad for sure.

Having visited the Shaker Square location previously, I was looking forward to a good meal. That was accomplished and was delicious overall, however, I found not all dishes arrived hot to me (the House potatoes, for instance). Also, please note that all Zanzibar restaurants do not share all menu items. This visit, their jerk chicken wing dings (accompanied with Cajun corn and corn muffins, sides changeable upon request), the catfish meal (accompanied with cole slaw, but is also changeable upon request), coffee, and a soft drink known as The Sunrise (made with lemonade and red Koolaid). Even though I was very hungry, pictures have been provided for your viewing pleasure! If you fancy a soul food meal and just happen to be in the Downtown Cleveland area, go ahead and give them a try. 4/5

This place is amazing...from the waitress to the kool-aid. Me and my family(8 deep) came in from Pittsburgh and loved the atmosphere. It felt right at home, however we came for the food and it didn't disappoint. That honey glaze chicken was incredible, the mac was cheesey and the yams were sweet. It was almost to much my wife had the catfish chicken she was blown away she just kept telling everyone how good the fish was...and that kool-aid OMG im soo glad I took sum to-go..bottom line when I'm back in Cleveland I'm definitely going to end on Prospect Ave some way or another!!!

Food was absolutely delicious but my peach martini was Everything!!!! I ordered the BBQ salmon with Mac and cheese and collard greens it was delicious.. If you're ever in Cleveland OH make sure you check them out!!!

My daughter and I are visiting from Nashville. We saw the window and wanted to try this “sexy stylish soulful” restaurant. The food and service were exceptional. Antonio took fantastic care of us. We had the Soul Rolls (collard greens, chicken, black beans, roasted corn with remoulade sauce) for a starter. My daughter had the Veggie Platter (Cajun corn, collard greens, candied yams), and I had the Grilled Chicken Breast in j seasoning with collard greens and seasoned rice. Both meals came with some of the softest mini blueberry muffins I’ve ever eaten. For dessert we shared the Better Than Sex Cake without the side of ice cream. I can honestly say this was one of the best soul food meals I’ve ever consumed, and this girl loves her some food. My kiddo said she was homesick for that type of cuisine, and it was so good it made her want to cry. My favorite was the collard greens. Hers was the candied yams. As a side note: we both loved the music they were playing too. Do yourself a favor and treat yourself to a scrumptious meal that’ll seem like it’s homemade for you.
