Customer Reviews

"Chef Zhanga is going to hate this review, because he ensures his humbleness outshines his talent. I have eaten in quite a few places in Calabar, but I would eat here everyday just for the chance to spend time in the glory that is Zhanga. He (as a human) might be the only thing better than his food."

"Thank you so very much some Guy"

"Thank You So Much 👑 Tracy. Much Appreciated …"

"I dunno how I never heard of this place before now because what manner of food? Loved the platter of Zhanga dirty Suya rice, dodo and smoked catfish. It was heavenly and the portions were so large we struggled to finish it."
