Zambo Restaurant - Surry Hills

My husband took me to Zambo for my birthday. We chose the $89 set menu. Everything was absolutely delicious. The chef personally delivered most of the meals (could be because it wasn't that busy) Service was impeccable. We finished with a TimTamisú- an amazing home made Tim Tam filled with a tiramisú cream filling- a definite must! The young chef is pushing the boundaries with modern Italian food and flavours. There was nothing boring or conventional here- this was an absolute feast for the senses. A special occasion restaurant- we'll be back for sure.

The service was sensational, and the food was priced where it should be for such quality. I was full at the end of the meal. My dining partner and I had the 7-course degustation, one choosing the fish and the other the lamb (so we could try both). We added on the pie (one order has two little pies) at the beginning. Every single dish was delicious. Standouts for us were the mushroom rigatoni, the crab lunghetti, and the lamb, which was to die for. Absolutely nothing to fault for the entire evening, although I do wish they took Amex. That's fine though, as Amex holders are used to carrying a second card. Definitely give it a go.

I went to this restaurant with two friends to celebrate a birthday. The service was friendly and quick. The food was unique and had an Italian flair, which pleased my Italian friend. The spanner crab pasta and fish dishes were both excellent. The lamington starter was incredible. They even gave us a shortbread with a candle in the Italian tradition. It was a great value and we had a relaxing and enjoyable evening. Definitely recommend a visit.

The meals were decent, but nothing exceptional, and the portion sizes did not justify the price. The service and atmosphere were satisfactory. I would not return to this restaurant as their current menu does not seem likely to attract repeat customers.

Booked for Friday evening for a party of 4. Enjoyed the $95, 7 course degustation. Matching wines are available for $70 although we chose to order wines from the extensive wine menu. The food was excellent with a wide variety - see their web site for details. In particular, I enjoyed the zucchini flowers, rigatoni and lamb. Also, I appreciate the effort from the chef and kitchen staff. Service was efficient with each course clearly explained. Ambiance was fine. Overall value was good for a meal of this quality. Many thanks.
