Went to the establishment hoping to experience a new place and it was closed...in the middle of the day! I want to support black businesses but I can't if you're closed. Ijs

Worst bar in the city! This establishment needs to be shut down immediately. Call the health department and more. Security is always drunk. Terrible food, drinks and crowd.

This Ain’t Flavor 2… This is Flavor “DO NOT” 😤😂
First of all — let me just say this loud and clear: I. WILL. NEVER. BE. BACK.
We came here thinking we were getting a cute lil’ Black-owned spot with good vibes and good food. What we got instead was seasonless sadness, a beef Philly subbed in for fried spaghetti, and a chicken Philly drier than your Auntie’s Thanksgiving turkey after church service. No seasoning, no flavor, no pride. Just disrespect on a plate.
Now let’s talk about the restaurant vibe… if you can even call it that. This ain’t no restaurant — this is somebody grandma’s old living room with a bar shoved in it. The couch was probably just moved out last week. I’ve been in better setups at a high school graduation party.
But hold up — THE BATHROOM. Lawd have MERCY. 😩
What in the DIY Home Depot HELL is that sink setup? It’s literally a baby’s high chair holding up a busted-ass sink. I had to wash my hands while praying it didn’t tip over and baptize my shoes. The faucet handle? Sitting in the sink like it gave up on life. The soap dispenser? Gone. The paper towel holder? Busted wide open like somebody was mad at it.
AND DON’T THINK I FORGOT: The toilet paper roll? One lil’ strip just leaning out the top like it’s trying to escape. At this point, I felt like I was in a trap house-themed escape room.
Then it happened…
Two roaches zipped across the floor mid-sentence like they were late for a shift. 🪳🪳 Then I SWEAR I saw two rats straight up humping each other on top of the bathroom divider. I told the staff and they hit me with a, “Oh, that’s normal.” NORMAL WHERE?!! 😳
Y’all. Health inspection needs to be there like YESTERDAY. This place needs prayer, pest control, and a whole renovation.
Oh, and the bartender? She was cool but kept pushing these $10 “shots” that looked like grape juice from Sunday morning service. I’m not paying $10 for a sip of Welch’s and lies. If I wanted communion, I would’ve gone to church!
Do yourself a favor and STAY FAR AWAY unless you tryna eat bland food, dodge roaches, and use a sink that belongs in a daycare center.
Negative stars if I could. This ain’t Flavor 2. This is Flavor DOO DOO.

Boyyyy… Lemme Tell You 😭🍽️
Flavor 2? Baby, FLAVOR WHERE?! ’Cause it damn sure wasn’t in the food 😒
First off, they messed up our order not once, but TWICE. Like how you mess up fried spaghetti and bring out a struggle Philly cheesesteak with BEEF instead of STEAK?? And don’t even get me started on my “chicken” Philly… that bird was drier than my DMs on a Tuesday. No flavor. No seasoning. Just vibes and disappointment.
The pasta? Chile… it was giving hospital tray. Bland. Ashy. Looked like it was boiled in unsalted tears. 🥲
Then the place itself?? It looked like somebody’s auntie tried to flip her Section 8 house into a hookah lounge. The living room is the dining area, and the bar is literally shoved next to somebody’s old fireplace. I felt like I was eating in the middle of a family reunion that I wasn’t invited to.
AND BAYBEEEEE… Tell me why two ROACHES sprinted across the floor like they was in a track meet. One had Nikes on, I swear. Then I go to the bathroom and I know I saw two rats clapping cheeks on top of the stall. I asked the worker about it and she said, “Oh that’s normal, they don’t bother nobody.” 😭😭😭
AT THAT POINT, I was ready to call the health inspector myself. Y’all need holy water, an exterminator, and a prayer circle.
Do NOT come here unless you tryna risk your tastebuds and your life. This place is ghetto fabulous without the fabulous. Zero stars. Wouldn’t recommend to my worst enemy.

Absolutely Horrible Experience Don’t Waste Your Time or Money
Flavor 2 was hands down one of the worst dining experiences I’ve ever had. First off, they got our order wrong twice, and didn’t even bother to tell us that half the stuff on the menu wasn’t available. My sister ordered fried spaghetti and instead they brought out a beef Philly and not even steak, it was some dry, flavorless beef tossed on a hoagie.
The pasta? Straight-up mid no seasoning, bland, and clearly thrown together with no care. I ordered a chicken Philly, and the chicken was dry as hell like it had been sitting under a heat lamp for hours. Absolutely no flavor, no effort, just trash.
The place itself is a joke. It looks like someone took a regular house and tried to turn it into a bar. The living room is literally the dining area, and the bar is awkwardly crammed into the same space. The vibe is super ghetto not in a cool, hole-in-the-wall way just unprofessional and messy.
Would not recommend to anyone. Save your money, your tastebuds, and your time.

I ordered food through Uber eats. I noticed that two hours that went by… I called them just for them to tell me that my food was stolen by the first Uber driver. they had the other Uber driver waiting there trying to pick my order up so instead of them doing the right thing by remaking it they canceled my order after I called and complained!! waiting two hours is crazy, especially if you’re on break from work and have something to do!

WOW - the food is wow and the service is wow. I'll start with the Staff as, they deserve it - Ashley was our server and she was above fantastic. Honestly, the entire staff, every single person we met that worked there was so incredibly polite - and I don't mean 'trained to be scripted to the restaurants script' polite, I mean, genuinely kind and personable. It was my first time at this restaurant and I honestly felt like I had been there a million times, that's how inviting the vibes are here. Now - on to the food. I had the herb baked chicken and merciful heavens, it was FANTASTIC (sides I sampled that I loved were the fried green tomatoes and their house potatoes). I would feel comfortable in a fancy dress or jeans & my favorite sweatshirt here - it's just, it's homey and makes you feel so welcome. If you're looking for a great dinner with friends or family - I highly recommend this lovely Cleveland restaurant. Super honorable mention to the CHAIRS...I literally googled a photo of one and am replacing our kitchen island chairs with them, yep that comfy.

By far one of the best dining experiences of my life. The workers, the food, the atmosphere, the prices, the vegan friendliness, the drinks, and everything about it. I want the world to know about this place and give them more business, PLEASE! I don’t want Zanzibar Soul Fusion to ever go away!

Great place to chill safe staff are amazing food cooked to order drinks ? ? ? will have you feeling good ! Stop in and give them a try !!
This place need a real chef everything looks horrible
David Dillworth
Never again. Service was extremely slow. Our “menu” was literally hand written on a receipt paper. Bartender had no knowledge of the menu or prices of anything, nor had any knowledge of the beer they carried. “What is a Yuengling?” She asked. We sat for almost 15 minutes before we were even acknowledged by the bartender. Once we received our food (which they boxed up to go without even asking if we were eating there) she never came back to check on us. Toilets don’t flush in the men’s bathroom and the bathroom door is broken. This place is A HOT MESS and clearly not ready to be open. Close it down, start over

I was so excited to try this restaurant in my neighborhood. They young man that answered the phone was super nice and sweet, but he had no knowledge of the menu and or prices. The food was not good. I ordered 3 sides. Macaroni & cheese,Yams, greens with lemon pepper wings. The yams an Mac were ok the greens tasted tasteless to say the least. The smoked Turkey in the greens looked really bad didn't bother to taste them. The chicken wings were small and sprinkled with lemon pepper seasoning. Definitely not worth the wait in my opinion, but I recommend you see for yourself and leave a review! I gave 2 stars for the basic macaroni and the guy on the phone was nice.
