This chicken sandwich had bacon and avocado on it and I was in heaven. Soooo good.

My family and I planned to spend time together for brunch. We chose Nzinga, because we wanted to go somewhere we had never been. The place didn't look busy. Yet, it took over an hour for most of my party (9) to get their food. My daughter sent her sausage back 3 times, because it was not hot. They ask for your name with your order. Yet, when they bring the food to the table, they don't have the right name with the order. My salmon cake was flat. My sister's was nice and thick like a salmon cake is supposed to be. The bacon was super crispy like a pork rind almost. The people behind counter kept apologizing for the food taking so long and said the reason was due to high volume door-dash orders coming in. We wanted to support a black-owned business, but we will NOT be back. To take care of online customers before the actual customers sitting in your establishment is poor customer service, in my opinion.

I have been wanting to try this spot since moving to the area. I finally had the chance today and was pleased. I was greeted immediately upon entry by a nice man, who even asked if it was my first time and provided instructions on how to order. He was very welcoming! I then placed my order with another man who was also nice. He came to check on me and even offered a sample of their version of cabbage, made with spices from his home country of Zimbabwe. I appreciated that especially since the cabbage was vegan and tasty! I decided to get the shrimp and grits, a side of eggs with cheddar and a strawberry lemonade. The eggs were scrambled well, hot and exactly how I like them. The shrimp and grits were hot, seasoned well, and the perfect consistency. The lemonade was delicious also. If I had to leave one critique I would omit the additional season salt sprinkled atop the shrimp. It made the dish a bit more salty than I like but without it, chef's kiss! The restaurant itself was clean, had afobeats playing and an overall great atmosphere. I would definitely be back to try their other selections because their soul food looks delicious also!

Ordered Southern Fried Chicken Sandwich with fries and Hot Honey Chicken Sandwich with Cajun Grits. The chicken and fried were like they were re-cooked very small in size. I was not able to it the bread b/c the chicken was cooked too hard. Totally not pleased.

Always trying to support local black businesses. I visited for lunch walked in no greeting 3 people at the counter on theirs phones. The ambiance is very dark and gloomy. I don't mind seeing the kitchen but I don't want to see the whole kitchen.
Orders 2 shrimp po boys with fries. Shrimp was chewy, sandwich over dressed with wilted pickles wilted lettuce and old tomatoes. I went to college in Louisiana and let's just say this is not the type of Po boy I've ever had.

Good cooking! AND Zuri was SUPER helpful and personable. She was so patient with me when I couldn't decide my sauces and sides. I'll definitely be back!
Food was good, but came in as a first timer… person was on their phone the entire time and then staff were arguing. I’d probably just order doordash or take out.

I love good southern food, but I don't indulge often. For this reason, I always want the best. This was ok. It was also expensive for the portions and food. We had basic breakfast food and the outcome was around $35 dollars.
