Zulu's Restaurant & Bar Overview

From the moment you enter Zulu’s Restaurant & Bar in Coffs Harbour, you know you’re in for something out of the ordinary. Assorted animal prints, cosy black leather booths & a long open bar create a warm, exotic ambience, while the flavours of Africa give a unique & exciting edge to Zulu’s seasonal menu. Create your own African platter from a selection of meats (or tofu), chilli paste, sauces & sides, or choose a la carte dishes like the slowly roasted ‘Lamb Baa’ seasoned with cumin & preserved lemon then served with a rich savoury couverture chocolate glaze, spiced swede rosti, and an asparagus & potato velute. Crisp roasted crickets trapped in a sheet of toffee, served with a rich chocolate mousse & sea salt, is an unusual but must-have dessert.

HIGHLIGHTS FROM ZULU'S RESTAURANT & BAR

Conveniently located on the southern end of the highway which passes through Coffs Harbour, Zulu's Restaurant & Bar nestles in the courtyard of the Best Western Zebra Motel. The quaint old style charm of leather padded booths, dark wood trimming and intimate décor, is hinted with exotic relics from tours of the giant African lands, much like our menu it comes with the feeling of somewhere you can just kick back and unwind, or equally have an intimate and exotic romantic affair.

Our menu changes seasonally, to keep us in touch with modern trends, and features the best local produce since that is what our customers truly desire. At the moment, our current signature dish is the Chicken Saltimbucco, a humbly exotic idea infused with warm home-style charm. At present the chef is mixing and mastering a new and exciting dish, which will make it's début in October after the Mid North Coast Signature Dish Competition of 2011.

Our menu is uniquely distinctive, so unique in fact that the flavour profiles and dishes will not be found anywhere else. Inspired by the myriad of cuisines and intricate spice blends of Africa, our chef Joel McCulla designed an entirely new cuisine of African fused dishes, uniquely created to suit the Australian palate.

Using flavour profiles, from the Nile, Ethiopia, Kenya and parts of Western Africa our chef balanced the tasting palate as would be done in Thai or Indian dishes, equalising and highlighting the Sweet, Sour, Salty, Bitter and Umami factors. Then to ensure the flavours "pop" the dishes are prepared individually in pans as would be done in the freshest of Italian restaurants, with the added bonus of being able to the tailor the chilli content of any dish to suit each individual guest, whether they want to be challenged with the heat, or want none at all.

The secret ingredient we find in all of our African dishes is you! The African menu is designed so that you can choose to have the dish the way you want it and with the side dishes that tickle you fancy. Instinctively, our chef has found that diners will gravitate towards combinations that excite them personally, desiring the flavour notes they are actually craving.

We exclusively stock wines from the WineFusion company, representing great wineries such as Brown Brothers Australia and ARA New Zealand, and ensuring we have top shelf wines available at incredibly affordable prices. The added benefits are that we also have access to particular cellar door vintages and varieties that the wine public enjoys that would otherwise be hard to acquire.

We stumbled into the motel attached to the restaurant and had one look at the menu in the in room guide and became hooked by the exotic descriptions printed there in. There is no way we could have anticipated the absolute culinary delight when the words were transformed into tantalising taste sensations presented by Joel. My wife was bubbling with praise and compliments for the sumptuous fare presented to us, and she is a Chef and "very" fussy about food, to the point I shudder to take her out for far of her less than complimentary observations of the food, no danger of that here though. WE live too far away to make a regular visit, but the allure of the menu and magnificently friendly and efficient staff are continually calling us back and it will not be long before the car leads us on the 2 day voyage to our next adventure in Joel's world. If you ahve not experienced it yet, put in on the top 10 list of things you MUST do.

Outstanding experience, food, drink and service. My husband and I were passing through Coffs Harbour and dined there in October 2011. I would drive 5 hours from Sydney just to dine there again!

Sometimes in life, you have to go out of your way to do something different in order to encounter something a little bit extraordinary. This is how I feel about Zulu's. When we first walked in we were greeted by the friendliest waitstaff and a rather exotic, animal print decor. The dinner menu is African-inspired with plenty of flavours, spices, and selections that entice the senses - the cuisine was one I had never tried before and can't believe the fresh, citrus flavour that emerged from the African feast. Just when you think that you can't possibly eat anything else, the allure of the dessert menu encourages you to step out of your comfort zone and try crickets in toffee, acidic flavours transformed by a berry, sherbet foam that takes you back to childhood or the strangest apple pie I've ever seen. I can't recommend the exceptional food, the delightful staff, and slightly exotic experience enough!

I've eaten here several times in the last year. The food tastes so fresh, unique and AMAZINGLY/SINFULLY DELICIOUS.
I've never had anything like the chef's African style creations before. WOW. I never knew African food was so damn tasty.
I admit I've formed an addiction to the Chicken Muwumba, but I've also sampled from the other menu's as well. And I was happy I did. Especially the deserts.
I never knew a deep fried sticky date spring roll would would be like heaven on a plate...but what can I say.
The atmosphere is intimate and personal. Very family friendly as well.
I can't wait to go back again. I'm hooked.
P.s
The staff are just so warm and amazingly friendly. I don't know where they find all their energy but I've never been in the restaurant and not seen the staff smiling. I think it might be the food....
Well done to all involved.
BEST VALUE AND FOOD IN COFFS HARBOUR BY FAR!!!
