I absolutely loved this place! It was my first time here. The food was outstanding, and the drinks were top-notch. It's such a beautiful place, especially at night. They have it all lit up with low light and candles. It was very romantic and sexy. The staff was wonderful, too.
Such an amazing experience. Staff was super helpful with suggestions. Plates came out hot and fresh. Everything we had was delicious. The pork loin was our favorite dish of all, the gnocchi was great. The pork spring rolls was the second best super cool atmosphere the place is so much larger than it looks from the outside, and there is a parking deck within walking distance. Overall great experience we will be back.
My husband and I went here for dinner and drinks on our last night in Asheville.
We shared a carafe of red sangria (delicious! It was different but good! Tasted like Christmas!) and some tapas. We started with the Owl bakery bread, oil, and vinegar (so good!). We ordered the tapas one at a time which is so nice. They had tapa specials and then tapas that they have all the time so there were a ton of choices. We went with the pork spring rolls (amazing!), gnocchi/sweet potato (different and delicious!), and the roasted carrots (so good!). We wanted to try more but we were stuffed!
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Shauna was our waitress and she was great!
The atmosphere is totally different from anywhere we have ever eaten. We had a very cozy and romantic seating area.
Highly recommend! Make reservations as they can get busy. Parking is nearby.
I love everything about Zambra. Service was impeccable, the menu caters to all customers with different restrictions, a good variety of wines and the food is delicious. I'll be back soon.
The small dishes are really delicious and with 2 or 3 you can get full quickly. I got the sangria and it was very good. I also recommend the roasted beef and the Buffalo chicken. Service was also amazing. My favorite part though is the vibe and atmosphere of the restaurant. Feels very cozy and nice. This was a great addition to our Asheville trip - definitely coming back :)
Went there for our 20th wedding anniversary. Was poorly seated but asked to be moved and was accommodated. Food and atmosphere was great after that. Every dish was delicious.

Zambra brings a very unique, rustic experience to the heart of Asheville while at the same time being very hard to miss while passing along the street. This little nook of a restaurant provides a delicious tapas experience specializing in spanish roots. In the Asheville area, I would consider its main comparator being Curate. Zambra is unique is the sense of dimly lit romantic atmosphere that makes it a great place to enjoy a date night out. I’d also highly recommend for large group settings looking for a range of delicious Spanish tapas while being slightly cheaper than Curate.
The service, staff, and bar service is excellent. The cocktails are excellently prepared, service was always on point and well attentive, and the food was delicious as well. Favorite dish would be the grilled maitake mushrooms. A very surprising taste and texture brought to these mushrooms, and cannot rave enough about this dish. Flank steak was very delicious, along with the scallops. Loved the asparagus gazpacho pairing contrast with the scallops.
The cocktails were amazing as well - Spanish Negroni provided and excellent twist to the traditional style Negroni. They also provide a very large list of excellent wines. They have an incredible selection here.
Absolutely loved this restaurant in general. Great eating experience to wind down the night with in Asheville. It is quite dimly lit inside, which is to my preference, however if you’re one to pull out a phone light to read, I may recommend looking elsewhere as not to disturb other guests.
Such a gem of a spot! The ambiance is really top tier for a cozy night out. The food was all delicious with particular highlights of: pomegranate braised pork spring rolls, roasted eggplant, and the patatas bravas. Also enjoyed the chicken liver mousse! Would 100% come back again. Only thing that I didn't love was their take on sangria. Next time I think I'd try a cocktail or one of their many wine options
My wife and I are in Asheville from out of town. We searched a long time for the perfect restaurant and we found it with Zambra. Food was amazing. Butternut squash soup, steak with pomegranate, and gnocchi blew us away. Service and atmosphere were great! Highly recommend!!
Great service, great wine list with selections to not break the bank. The gnocchi and pork spring rolls were top! The food came out quite quickly and water was always filled. The mussels were to be desired, great flavor but still...
Visited and made reservations here after seeing a few YouTube reviews speaking highly of this restaurant. It was amazing! The atmosphere was quiet, and romantic. The food is memorable and savory. Can't wait to come and visit again.
Amazing food that comes in a range of prices, so it's easy to spend less or more money depending on what you're going for. They've got a wide variety of dishes, ranging from collards and grits to pomegranate pork spring rolls. Can't recommend this food enough, plus they change their menu fairly regularly. Well worth the experience!
Can't say enough about how amazing this food was!!! Micah did a great job with the service. The food runner didn't get her name, was prompt, and helped clear. I'm very impressed all the way around! Cannot wait to come back!
Phenomenal.. great great service, exceptional pairing with our palates. The food had such DIFFERENT textures, tastes, and presentations. Highly recommend for locals and visitors. The wine selection does a great job of bringing European and western American wines to life with excellent descriptions of what wine mood you are in for (eg- tempranillo medium body or full bodied fruit forward). If you want to try dishes youd never see anywhere else and are exotic, you come here. Date night impressive for first timers or great friends evening.
Great but but not your traditional tapas menu. Creative yet delicious flavours. We shared 7 dishes between 3 people and there was ample food. Easier to get in than Curate.
My wife and I went here to celebrate my 34th birthday and let me say it was a great night. The atmosphere reminds of being back in the Mediterranean. Zambra is down a side road in downtown, it can be easy to miss if you are not paying attention. If you are looking for a place with good tapas, drinks and atmosphere, this is your place. A bonus is they have a few mocktails on their menu if you choose not to want to indulge in stronger libations. My wife and I's personal favorite dish was the pork spring roll and the gnocchi but honestly all their food was really good. The only thing we probably wouldn't get again would be the octopus but just because it was such a small portion it wasn't worth the cost to us personally but it still tasted very good. I would 100% go back and eat here again.
Just had a wonderful dinner there for my wife’s birthday. All of the various tapas we ordered were delicious and were delivered in a timely, not rushed manner. There was plenty of time to savor each dish and explore the complex flavors fully. The staff were all friendly and attentive but not obtrusive. Very much look forward to our next visit.
