This place is great!!I ordered the cajun shrimp & Grits. The shrimp were cooked and seasoned perfectly. I did have to add a pinch of salt to the grits, being originally from Louisiana the salt and seasoning is important. I say this because others may not need salt. But the flavor was great.I ordered the eggs ? over easy with pork sausage patties, collard greens, and the waffle. The eggs ? ? were cooked perfectly. The collard greens were good as well. The sausage patties were great. The waffle was a bit too cakey, thick, and rubbery for my liking.The mac n cheese ? was amazing. The cheesy grits were amazing. The candied yams were amazing as well.Overall, a great place to eat great food!Parking: First come first serveKid-friendliness: YesWheelchair accessibility: Yes

Food is delicious. I love how the owner of the restaurant Zuri is very personable. She always remembers my name like we grew up together. Great environment! In a very historical area in Durham!

The French toast was hard on the outside and mushy inside. I couldn't chew it. The shrimp were rubbery in the grits and the grits were way too salty.

I have my favorite soul food places in Durham. Never tried Nzingas til this morning. Got the Cajun grits, yams, collards, whiting. It was all seasoned perfectly. Grits were FIRE. They forgot my Mac and cheese and i was so excited about trying :( but still 5 stars. They were so friendly inside also so great customer service. But tbh one of the HUGE things that set Nzinga apart from Let's Eat, V's, Vittles, etc is that they open at 9 and serve breakfast AND lunch items. As a person who doesn't normally like breakfast foods, I was so stoked to get a square meal this early.

I was in this location on 2/17. We placed our order at 10:11 am and didn't receive it until 10:59. There was no apology for the delay. Also, the smoke detectors were constantly chirping, which is what they were doing the last time I was in this establishment(almost a year ago).
Although I don't have any pictures.....that food was very good. I ordered fish and grits. The fish was nice and fried well and the grits were very creamy. The only thing it was a little salty but not overly salty. I really enjoyed my meal and will return again.

I waited 20 minutes for a fish plate. The grease was all I tasted and it tasted old. Horrible even. Nonchalant staff. Will NOT return. Do NOT
