"we are once a year in the hotel Matamba/Phanasialand and therefore also in the zambesi. in the last three years, however, the zambesi has become significantly worse. In principle, it is necessary to expect this to be a three-year-old table without leaving a plastic cup on the table.The real problem in the zambesi is, however, the increasingly poorer quality of the feeds. the meat at the grill is throughout and over years of inferior quality. rind is zb on minutesteak quality from the discounter. much too thin and much worse, the cook at the grill constantly press on the meat to shorten the cooking time. so at least all the cooks at the grill on my demand have explained to me the pressure. because every piece of meat is always dry and tough, who likes to eat medium must say rare. this does not make the consistently bad meat quality better, however. this is unkind.Really disastrous, but what happens on the salatbuffet. in the late evening, there is scarlet, which is clearly blown out and already shimmers rainbow colors. I put a slice tomate of salatbuffet under the salmon and the next morning at the breakfast buffet lay the tomaten was always under the same, arg bordering salmon. that is not possible and was still in the zambesi years ago, which I like the matambda still very much. the 'African brotsalat' is nothing but old brot with oil and tomate. who likes it, ok.ver Compared with African buffets in hamburg and berlin, the zambesi is unfortunately lacking from the quality of the feeds and only because of that it is significantly too expensive.The atmosphere suffers also among them the from 2100 clock side tables that have become empty are already covered for the breakfast. no big thing, but for a 28Euro per person buffet which costs well 40 euro per head with drinks, this is all simply bad.DREI stars I still give because I am a big phantasialandfan, the hotel matamba love and at least to breakfast very much like going to zambesi.But at the end we only go into the much more expensive but also quite much better restaurant bantuinen. 40 euro per person for the low kulinaric and gastronomic level."

"We stayed here two nights in late July 2017. The food was good, but be warned you have to explore a bit, because on our first night we completely missed about half of it that we thought was the food preparation area!Food quality was very nice, no issues. It's as good as any Chinese food I've had, and I've had the real thing, so don't understand what some of the negative reviews are complaining about. It does however seem to be more "fusion" in places, for example I'm pretty sure Sushi isn't authentic Chinese cuisine! But why not, the place is called "Phantasialand" after all... For those of us with fussy kids there is a kids buffet that serves chips and sausages (I wish all Asian restaurants had this). It's nearly a bit too kids friendly in that the desert selection includes assorted candy right next to the main meals, so be wary of letting little ones loose in there without supervision. For both kids and adults, they also have a chocolate fountain for dessert, which is very cool.The only big con I have is that the service was consistently poor. Specifically I asked for a second drink on both evenings, which they forgot about both times and I needed to remind them about it more than once to actually get my drink (leading to the annoying situation of being presented with a full glass of beer while starting my desert course and therefore about to finish my meal!). On the second evening they even forgot the drink my daughter ordered when we say down, even though they served me mine (when it eventually turned up after I'd complained, they did in fairness give us a free additional drink because it was so late). Seeing as this sort of thing happened on both evenings it's either a conspiracy against me or the restaurant has a systematic issue with their service.We did though have a great two evenings here, so if you can live with the risk of bad drinks service, this is a really good buffet to take the family to!"
