UNREAL FOOD, SERVICE AND AMBIANCE! WOW, for the first time in Perth, I am impressed with the food! This is something special for sure.....

We were seated at our table for 4 on a Wednesday night for our 7.30pm booking - we were surprised that the restaurant was so viby and full on a Wednesday night - the atmosphere was really great.

Our waiter explained to us that the menu consisted of "African Fusion" with dishes from all over Africa - from Morroco all the way down to the South - it sounded interesting!

We started off with the Tasting Plates which were such a great way to discover what they offered and what the cuisine was all about - everything was so tasty and it is obvious that the kitchen must have a few chefs in there.....as this is not something you knock up at home!

Our mains were all shared between the 4 of us - my favourite was the Spatchcock and Trout Sahara - unreal flavours and attention to detail.

Desserts were to die for and we shared all 3 on offer - my favourite was the Zulu Rose for sure.

At the end of our meal, the bill came to (with alcohol) $210 - now that is Total Value for money because we ate the most amazing food I have eaten in Perth since arriving 10 months ago from Sydney....

I love this place - the food and everything about it - I will be spreading the word and will be coming back to try out everything else on the menu!

Thanks Pink Zulu - you have created something special and unique - very funky and viby - even by a Sydney siders standards!

Love it!!!!

been checking out some other reviews as well and most seem to say the same thing... wouldn't mind a free meal if there's any to be had! =)

Ok, I can now confirm this is spam. I put my detective hat on and dug deep into the logs on the server and found out that this review was indeed written by a biased party!

She didn't even try to hide properly her member's email address is ******@pinkzulu.com.au !

I think that is hilarious - she's a STAFF member and only gave service a 9. Of course, she might be the cook which is why she gave the food a 10.

Wow that is so sick/desperate and disturbing and now I will never even eat within two blocks of this place. Wow Libby you smelt that fish from a mile away :)

great job guys! I was wondering why the comment on the other review felt more like a personal attack.

and yes, the warning is a nice touch =)

I noticed the reviews for this place on um... another website seemed quite weird as well. Many of them by "people" who only wrote this one review, for this one place only.

I received a response from the restaurant confirming that an employee did indeed submit the review. I did include the whole message here, but I have removed it at the request of the owner.
