In Short
Usually crowded at night and empty at off-peak hours, this cavernous eatery serves authentic dishes. During soccer season, the spacious patio overflows with frenetic fans attracted by the Brazilian team mural emblazoned on an exterior wall. Appetizers include chicken croquettes, fried yucca and bread balls. National dish feijoada--black-bean stew and smoked meats--is served with yucca flour, rice and beans. Though not a Brazilian specialty, pizza offerings include toppings like plantains, cinnamon and sweetened condensed milk.

I won't recommend this place to anyone. Had an event there, not only did they shortchange us on the food we had ordered for our guests ( the presentation of the food was terrible and my guests complained about the taste or lack thereof!!) but they STOLE the 7 boxes of Acai beverage that had been donated for our event that was brought into the restaurant. Do your stomach a favor and go down the street to CAFE BRAZIL where the food is always good and plentiful, the service is good and so is the Karma!

I tried Zabumba for the first time last week because of Mr. Gold's review and I have to say how severely disappointed I was. The restaurant was empty the entire time we dined there and nothing we wanted on the menu was available. Additionally, the proprietor acted as our waiter and bartender although he fully admitted he wasn't a "drink mixer". We ordered an appetizer plate that was completely improvised - in fact, to round out the meager offerings they added bar olives to the plate. The food and service was lacking to say the least. A couple blocks down is Cafe Brazil, which was bustling. Had we known it existed we would have gone there instead.
