Been dying to try Zweli’s for close to a year now and finally made it out.
Now, let’s be clear. The food is great, absolutely no complaints there. We ordered the veggie samosas, fried plantains, half chicken, oxtail, jollof rice, and cabbage, then left with full bellies and leftovers to fight over tomorrow.
There seemed to be only one person working the entire front of house (could be because it was a weeknight?) and, bless her, she was so sweet and doing the absolute best she could! But they definitely needed more staff to service everyone. We saw at least 5 parties come in and then leave w/o being serviced in the 2 hours we were there due to the wait time.
I also went in expecting a more casual, family-friendly atmosphere, but note that the space has undergone a remodel and is now a bit more upscale than the photos online, and the pricing reflects this.
I think I’d recommend everyone come here at least once because the food really is great, but the pricing is gonna prohibit us from making this a go-to spot.
