Zambra Dissapoints
2012-09-22 143 views
Visited Zambra for lunch with my wife. Heard it is run by a kiwi so was looking foward to some NZ style dishes. The place is has a grotty 90's throwback interior. The seats by the window look particularly sad - like they haven't been drycleaned for a few years. This place could definately use a facelift. I had a chicken curry pie set. The soup was very bland, seemed like it was just hot water with diced veggies. The curry pie was ok, with nice pastry but rather cold. I had the greek and malaysia

Visited Zambra for lunch with my wife. Heard it is run by a kiwi so was looking foward to some NZ style dishes. The place is has a grotty 90's throwback interior. The seats by the window look particularly sad - like they haven't been drycleaned for a few years. This place could definately use a facelift. I had a chicken curry pie set. The soup was very bland, seemed like it was just hot water with diced veggies. The curry pie was ok, with nice pastry but rather cold. I had the greek and malaysian salads which were both bland. My wife had the canelloni iat least it was cooked properly but also tasted pretty average. She had the bean salad with her set which was also bland. By the way, when you order a set they say coffee is included, but if you want a latte you have to pay $12 extra.. Go figure.
The coffee was ok, better than normal HK standard but not great. To finish off we had a banana cake which was... Bland. Seriously never had a meal where there was so little flavour i was willing my tastebuds on to find something. Really dissapointing and am pretty suprised by how well reviewed the place is on open rice. Definately will not be returning.
