Zambra - Asheville

Loved the ambience, the wine and food were amazing! highly recommend the malbec and gnocci :

My wife and I had never been to Asheville, NC, but heard the food scene was spectacular. We were not disappointed… Our Uber driver recommended a few places and Zambra was at the top of their list. Talk about being spot on… we had one of the best meals we have had in a very long time. The menu was filled with something for everyone and we had a hard time narrowing down or selections because we wanted to try everything. We grabbed the coveted “confessional” spot at the bar. It was a nice cozy place where a wonderful person named Lisa took care of us that evening. She was very friendly and helped us make our selections. Her service was impeccable and really completed our evening. Here’s what we ordered complete with pictures: Chilled Corn and Tarragon Soup. Crème Fraiche, Tarragon Oil and Lump Crab. Pomegranate Braised Pork Spring Rolls. Avocado, Cashew Chili Crisp, Mango Mojo. Lamb Albondigas. Tunisian Tomato Sauce, Chickpea and Cucumber Salad, Crumbled Feta, Pistachio. Charred Cauliflower. Spicy Romesco, Salsa Verde, Sunflower Seeds. House Gnocchi Basil, Arugula and Pine Nut Pesto, Sweet Potato, Radish, Capricorn De Cabra and Goat Cheese. And for dessert: Peanut Butter Brownie Peanut Butter Mousse, Toasted Cashew, House Made Bourbon Ice Cream. If we ever visit Asheville again, we would certainly visit this fantastic restaurant again. Thank you for making our trip very enjoyable!

It's been a favored among locals for many many years. Anytime I visit the Asheville area I make an appointment to go to Sombra. Great small bites fun atmosphere and friendly service dine

Beautiful restaurant. Service was outstanding. The sangria we had was good seemed a little pricey for the carafe. The food was all good, nothing blew us away of the dishes we tried, but all was well prepared and presented. It was a fun place to eat while we were visiting Asheville. If you like tapas style, it is good place to go with really nice ambiance and attentive service.

We sat on the patio set up in the breezeway between buildings, sort of an alleyway feeling. Very quaint. The service was good. I found the menu to be interesting and diverse. We had the scallops(slightly undercooked) crab cake, cheese platter, and mussels. Prices were very reasonable, and serving size was sharable if you plan to do a few different items. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out.
