"Je travaille pas très loin et Je mange très souvent à Zboneat. L'accueil est très chaleureux de la part d'Ibrahim. J'ai vraiment tout essayé, les plats sont bons très très copieux. Ensuite au niveau du goût, les plats sont variés : d'Afrique de l'ouest et centrale , ils ont beaucoup de goût, tout dépend les préférences de chacun, je conseille tout particulièrement le thiep guinar et le Ntaba mais les autres plats sont très bon aussi. N'hésitez pas à demander conseil à votre hôte il est d'une gentillesse incomparable."

"Bon il est vrai que le resto fait principalement des repas pour les livraisons et je suggérerais un petit fond sonore de musique traditionnelle par exemple ça pourrait être sympa. Le gros avantage c'est que ma chérie et moi étions seuls et qu'on était pas dérangés par les gens. À part ça, le service était parfait, le jus de gingembre exquis, le thiep option chèvre incroyable, les aloko au top... Et le tout bien copieux ! On y reviendra les yeux fermés, rapport qualité prix incontournable ! On adore !!"
