Tucked away in the middle of Savannah, this gem really stands out. We were just looking for a couple of late apps and hit the jackpot finding Zunzi's. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Outside seating space was perfect, with a slight breeze.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Noise level low as it's not on a busy street, we enjoyed a peaceful time.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Menu is simple but packed with goodies: we had the Smashed Avocado with chips and a dozen wings, Pari Pari was sort of Smokey buffalo and Dank, hard to describe but great taste.

Zunzi's reputation is outstanding in Savannah. It has even been featured on Food Network. Lots of fanfare raises the bar of expectations. I have eaten here a few times and was not wow'd. Perhaps the bar was set too high to live up to. Their famous sandwhich is the CONQUISTADOR. Featuring chicken with their special sauce. It is not cravevable to me. Today I tried the GODFATHER. I think it may be the CONQUISTADOR with sausage added to it. I find their bread hoagies to be a little dry. It could be much improved if the bread was fresh. The fries are really good. I am thinking that a side of the special sauce for the sandwich would make a great fry dip! Service was really slow today. Drink orders took forever. The two people in our group that ordered a poke bowl were served last when everyone else was about done. You don't have to cook raw fish and vegetables so not sure what happened. They didn't charge for the poke bowls due to the long wait, which was fair. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This is an outdoor seating venue, but they have tent covers and an outdoor TV to watch sports games. I enjoy the atmosphere.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Zunzi's - Godfather sandwich and fries - Sandwiches Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

10/10 - A Must-Stop Every Time I've been coming here ever since I was little, and it's one of those places that never disappoints. Every time I'm anywhere close, I make it a point to stop, and this trip was no different. I was driving back home to North Carolina and had to make one last stop because it's just that good. The food is always fresh, hot, and packed with flavor. The sandwich was perfectly toasted with fresh ingredients, plenty of parmesan, and an amazing sauce, and the fries were cooked perfectly. Everything tasted just as good as I remembered. Service was a 10/10 and wonderful seating options MUST GO!!! read more

Had lunch there! Was seated promptly inside- all praise AC! Our son said the wings were the best ever! The double patty smash burger was cooked to perfection. Can also recco the truffle fries- perfectly seasoned and crispy. Finally, the peach iced tea was on point! Didn't order an alcoholic beverage- but the ingredients look to notch - lots of infusions. read more

Zunzi's - Sandwiches Near Me - Savannah, Georgia

This place has gone from amazing local food with a South African twist to complete commercialized garbage. Local Savannah foodie pages have been saying the same thing for years. Even after the 2021 rebrand, it still held on for a while, but something in the last 5 years at the main office has completely lost touch. They expanded to three locations: ; downtown, Tybee, and Hilton Head, and in the process the whole identity fell apart. The menu has been gutted of its originality. The "OG" items are now overpriced, portion sizes have been cut in half, and the original sides that made it special are gone. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What used to be a simple, order-and-sit-down experience is now chaotic.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] You're herded in by an overstaffed but somehow still disorganized team of high-turnover employees with zero consistency and very little emotional intelligence. There are always way too many staff for the number of customers, yet service somehow keeps getting worse. Last night was the final straw. We tried the Tybee location first, waited 30 minutes just to be seated, only to be told they were basically out of everything and could only do drinks. So we drove to downtown. Same exact thing. Out of sausage. When we asked if we could just remove it or substitute it, we didn't get a simple no, we got an "absolutely not," because apparently everything is pre-mixed and nothing can be adjusted. Even worse once we sat down. It took 15 minutes just to be asked for drink orders. A different server came over, introduced himself like we were starting fresh, and then got visibly annoyed when we said we'd already ordered water and a soda. From there it just kept getting more awkward. At one point he bumped my cup while I was literally lifting it to my lips and told me to "watch out" while he was placing food down. He took forever to check us out and finally bring our soda to go, and ended the night by saying, "just so you know I'm faster than the other girl," like we were in the middle of some weird staff competition we didn't sign up for. [[HIGHLIGHT]]On the outside it still looks like a fun Savannah staple. But once you sit down, you realize you're no longer a local guest, you're trapped in an overhyped tourist operation that's completely lost what made it good in the first place.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

I had Zunzibar (also known as Zunzi's) recommended to me by several family members as a great place to grab a meal in Savannah, as it serves up one of the best chicken sandwiches in the world (probably according to some random "culinary expert" or magazine/poll). I figured I'd put the claims to the test for myself. The places is well decorated with both outdoor patio and indoor seating, with fun vacation vibes. We ordered the Fire Island (peri-peri blackened mahi) and Conquistador (chicken) sandwiches. Both sandwiches (4.5/5) were absolutely delicious and prepared using fresh and flavorful ingredients. I'm glad I asked for the sauces on the side for the chicken sandwich, as I only liked 1 of the 2 sauces. The Zapp's potato chips were your standard run of the mill potato chips, but were a decent accompaniment to the sandwiches. I'd certainly be a regular customer for their chicken sandwich if I lived closer. The funny thing is that I had an Uber driver raving about the same sandwich when I brought it up the following day. Service (5/5) was kind and friendly throughout the meal. I look forward to returning here for their Conquistador chicken sandwich, and will be recommending Zunzibar to others who visit Savannah. read more

What a bright, tropical, laid back, fun place! This is a diverse and casual sandwich joint . . . think things made with chicken, sausage, provolone, salmon, tomato, onion, and even curry chicken salad or falafel. They also serve nachos, chips and dip, oysters. I didn't have food, came here for drinks only. They have a great selection of margaritas, beer, and even THC drinks. They also have wine, shots, brunch drinks. I had a special, a hibiscus mojito, which was crisp, clean, and delish. I had the mango margarita to go. Beautiful, bountiful, not too sweet, wicked cold on a 90+ degree day. My server was amazing. The space was bright and open, with garage doors that open to their patio. Tropical vibes, with neon. Live music was setting up when I was leaving, so I would love to come back and check out the entertainment. And if you say, "shit yeah!" you get 10% off. This was a great place. Very quirky. Hip Savannah. Cool for all ages, you can be older or middle age and still have a good time. Would definitely go back . . . and if nothing else, I think they have a to-go window! read more

I discovered Zunzi's many moons ago, back when they operated out of a small building off York Street under the original ownership. Since then, the business has undergone a major transformation with new ownership--modernizing the experience while staying true to many of its signature dishes. The new location is impressive, set in a renovated garage that now features a fully stocked bar and a large outdoor patio. Their iconic rainbow umbrellas provide great shade during the hot summer months, and in the winter, the space transforms with cozy igloos for a unique dining experience. Zunzi's has expanded with multiple locations around town and in surrounding areas. Their menu offers a great selection of sandwiches, bowls, and wings, and they also cater for work events. They have a rewards program called the 26 Club, which gives members points and discounts--a great bonus if you're a regular. Personally, I love their wings and often order them for delivery (especially when there's a BOGO deal!). The staff is always friendly, helpful, and very knowledgeable--especially when it comes to food allergies, which I really appreciate read more

Service was terrible. So many rules, refused to replace provolone with American on the conquistador. Didn't let us sit inside with our baby, that was our first interaction. I didn't even ask to sit inside! He told us right when we walked up that we couldn't sit inside and looked in disgust at our stroller. My boyfriend came in with an energy drink and the server told us we had to throw it out. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We were the only table in here and it was a Monday.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We bought two rounds of drinks each (we had a table of 7 people). The drink menu ended up on the floor because of wind and the server said "oh you just threw it?" The food was great, but service was absolutely terrible!! We are locals, won't be back read more

The Conquistador at Zunzi's is a loaded chicken sandwich with provolone, parmesan, lettuce, tomato, and their signature Zunzi's sauce and dressing on fresh French bread.

Sad to say it but this food was a bit underwhelming. We were very excited to try their signature sandwich The conquistador but honestly, it just really had no flavor. The bread was good tasted very fresh and soft, but I was expecting way more flavor from the South African style restaurant and the good reviews especially because it's one of the places on a Savannah food tour. Service was great, they took care of us, and it's a really nice patio. But I'm just a little bit surprised that it's on a food tour. Was not a huge fan. read more

I used to come here all the time when I was traveling for work, and it always felt like a solid local spot. They're clearly in the middle of a rebrand now, but I really miss how it used to be. Back then, you'd get a foot-long sandwich with house-made chips and a few sauce cups for around $20. Now it's a 6-inch sandwich with bagged chips for the same price. The food is still good, but it doesn't feel like the same value anymore. For me and my girlfriend, after a 20% tip, it ends up being close to $50 for two six-inch sandwiches and two bags of chips. At that price point, it's hard not to compare it to other places where you get more for your money. [[HIGHLIGHT]]What really stands out is how much the place has lost that hometown, local feel. It used to feel like a spot with personality and character--now it feels more like just another polished, corporate-style sandwich shop.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Still decent food, but it doesn't hit the same way it used to. read more

We sat on the patio for a late lunch with our dog. It was a hot afternoon but we were able to sit near fans which helped cool us down after walking over. As soon as we sat down the hostess brought us water for the dog which was great. Our waiter was very helpful when we were making menu decisions. With such different wing flavors we both got wings. The periperi buffalo was better than any buffalo I've had and the Dank sauce was a good mustard based sauce. We loved the chips and their seasoning. We had a Pina colada and the tea cocktail both were refreshing. This is a fun casual restaurant that's great for the whole family with somewhat elevated flavors and options. Oh and the pup cup brought out by the manager was great little add on for the pup! We enjoyed the wings so much we ordered some for delivery while still in town. The second time I got the limon pepper and really enjoyed those. read more

A trip to Savannah means a trip to Zunzi's! I'm happy to report Zunzi's is better than ever--great food, drinks, and service. Shit yeah!!!! However I'm sad to report my favorite sandwich, the Rising Sun, is no longer on the menu, but the Falafel Roll has been my new go to! They're currently remodeling part of their interior, so inside seating is limited but there's still plenty of outside seating with heat lamps! They also have some hot seasonal beverages to try during the winter season. Definitely stop by for drinks, sandwiches, wings, and good vibes! read more

Quick stop on the way out of Savannah was a hit! I got the appetizer called Lekker spread which you get to pick dips for the pita/chips/veggies. I got hummus, guacamole, and a chicken curry. Hummus and guac were good but the chicken curry yall. Spicy and hits you in all the right ways. It was perfect for a light lunch and was plenty for an extra snack on the drive home. Parking is a nightmare but that's Savannah in general. I loved the colorful island vibes of the restaurant. They're also dog friendly with water bowls and have outside seating with umbrellas for shade. Check them out! read more

We were bummed that they changed their menu. We have been eating at Zunzi's whenever we're in town, for several years now, since they were a small shack a few blocks away. The things they were known for are now only a small part of their menu. We ordered the chickpea wrap which was pretty good but the chicken rice bowl was bland, bland, bland. Zero taste or seasoning. I asked for some sauce to help it taste better and of course they charged extra for the small sauces they brought over. The rice was mushy plain white rice. The chicken was a very small portion, maybe 2 TBS. Worth and then a small salad on the side. It was not worth $18 plus $1.50 for sauce! Will not be returning. read more

We were in Savannah for a small family vacation for a few days, and this was our first stop upon getting to town. We chose Zunzi's for lunch, given good reviews here. It is a unique eatery, with largely outdoor seating and a restroom that is accessible from the exterior of the building. We had two adults in two small children in our party. Overall, I think everyone just thought their food was OK. Of course my children enjoyed the prepackaged items (rice crispy treat and juice box) served with their meal, but neither finished the entrée. I ordered a cocktail which was tasty, but overfilled with ice so it was a short-lived experience. I'm not sure I'd come back here again if in town, as the restaurant was more visually stimulating (fun decor) than it was able to speak to my taste buds. Additionally, parking is difficult to find. We had to park several blocks away, and walk about 10 minutes one way to get to the restaurant. read more

We were here in a food tour so we both ate the same thing. We got a chicken sandwich on a baguette. It was DELICIOUS! The bread was soft on the inside, crispy outside and the chicken has great flavor and was very moist and juicy. Hubby had a smoked peach bourbon drink and I had a drink with rum and pineapple. Both were great. [[HIGHLIGHT]]We sat outside, as the day was beautiful[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]. [[HIGHLIGHT]]This would be a good place to come with a large group of friends.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I highly recommend checking this place out! read more

This place is a tad bit expensive for sandwiches. I got the Godfather ($19) and thought it was good. I liked the homemade chips and dip that came with it. It was a pretty filling meal. My buddy likes to come here because he DoorDashes and they give service workers 50% off and at that price it's a steal. He also just happened to have a token for a free sandwich so he got out the door with a free meal....I'm not sure he even tipped the waitress but hopefully he tipped her based on what it should have cost. We ate outside. I didn't go inside, I'm not even sure there is an inside...but outside was nice. Even the bathroom is outside around the corner. They had music playing but it wasn't too loud. Lots of people walking by. Service was good. Next time I'd try a different sandwich, mine was good but not "oh my gosh I gotta have another" good. I don't understand all the sauces but they are all about them! I just went with the flow and stuck with what my sandwich came with. read more

We stopped here with friends while visiting Savannah. Our friends were hungry and wanted a substantial meal so ordered wings and a sandwich, which they enjoyed. My fiancé and I were not super hungry having had a big breakfast so we just shared a salad. The salad was not particularly tasty and was heavy on the iceberg lettuce (a subpar lettuce if there ever was one) and skimpy on romaine. Vegetarians and pescatarians beware because that there's not much for you on the menu; lots of meats and chicken. They have a really nice outside patio with colorful umbrellas and a fun vibe. Our server was great and even brought me a refill for my soda before I even asked. Nice atmosphere and good service turned the three star food to four stars overall. read more

We used to love Zunzis! Unfortunately they must have changed ownership or something because the menu has totally changed. The sandwiches we used to love are now the same price (~$19), but half the size! They also got rid of their homemade potato chips which were delicious and replaced the with bags of chips. The slaap fries were incredibly underwhelming as well- essentially sprinkled shredded cheese, bacon & chives on shoe string fries and drizzled with a very thin, dill-heavy ranch (you know the kind). Staff are always friendly and attentive. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They have mostly outdoor seating, and live music or DJs that play a lot of tropical house, which is not my taste, but to each their own.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] We live right around the corner, and sadly, the convenience no longer not outweighs the cost and quality. read more

This was ok, nothing special and not deserving of a place on a "top spot" list in Savannah. Had the Conquistador and a margarita, which was way too tequila forward. Blech. Did not like. The sandwich was fine, but basically just some bland grilled chicken with a pretty good sauce and really nice bread to mask it. I liked the "hot as shit" sauce or whatever it was called (also, it's not that hot unless you're a baby). I was not a fan of the chips. They tasted stale, not crispy, and flavorless. Wish they would just do fries. I do have a complaint about the bathrooms. There are only two single-seaters and with 100 people outside, there were always people waiting. Hard to even take a piss. Overall it was fine. I don't hate it, but won't remember it either. read more

It was our first day in Savannah and we were starving and hadn't eaten anything all day. I searched a place to get sandwiches and this looked interesting. The place had a really cool vibe. I ordered the Godfather which had chicken, boereswore sausage , and regular sausage. It was pretty good but it was a lot and I don't know if all the meats really went well together I think it was too much. It had some kind of tomato sauce on it which I didn't know, I thought it was just going to be regular tomato. I think I liked my husband's conquistador sandwich better because it went better together and wasn't overwhelming. The sauces that came with it were good. The chips were tasty too and had a little bit of a kick and you also get free chip refills . I had a sweet tea. My husband got one half sweet half unsweetened which was cool i never seen a place do that . I liked mine fully sweetened. Overall it was a good lunch and i recommend it. Staff were very friendly too. read more
