What People Are Saying About Zabumba

Citysearch

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. –

AMAZING FOOD!

by Bassora77

I went to Zabumba last night and had the most amazing experience. The atmosphere took me out of Los Angeles and transported me to Brazil. The food was incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It was so good that I introduced myself to the chef Nalva, and asked her to cater my wedding this fall! I asked her what she puts into her food to make it so good and she said, "I put love." She is amazing, I recommend this place to everyone!

Pros: The new chef Nalva Monju is incrediable!

This Place Leaves Bad Taste In My Mouth In More Way Than One

by Sambistadancer

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!
