great food,nice portions spicy if you like spicy foods but still good will go back!
The food and atmosphere is so awesome
We came to try the infamous Egusi Stew and it was amazing! It tasted delicious, so flavorful, not too oily, and all around a good pick. I see why it is favored by different nationalities alike. We will be sure to return and try other items on the menu.

Zanzibar Cafe offers a delightful dining experience with a variety of West African dishes and American chicken wings. Located at 3720 N Tryon St Ste 101 in Charlotte, this hidden gem stands out for its vibrant and flavorful journey into African cuisine. Guests praise the delectable cuisine, impeccable service, and charming ambiance. The menu features a delightful mix of African and American fusion, with standout dishes like the Fried Croaker with Plantains, Palm Butter, and Cassava Leaf stews. The fish and rice dish is highly recommended, along with their homemade sauces. Guests have noted that the food is fresh, tasty, and served hot.
The staff is recognized for being friendly and efficient, whether dining in or ordering takeout. The atmosphere is casual and family-friendly, with TVs and a welcoming vibe. However, some customers found the chicken in the egusi soup to be tough. Dishes like the Pepper Soup with Fufu and the fried fish come highly recommended, especially for those craving authentic flavors. Overall, Zanzibar Cafe is a culinary adventure worth savoring, and diners are encouraged not to skip the ginger lemonade.
