My girlfriend and I went to Mambu's expecting to taste some amazing food (at least good enough to justify its prices and live up to some of these reviews). I have to say the atmosphere was great, and the staff very friendly. However, we were very disappointed with the food. We started up with the vegetarian fried wontons as an appetizer. Some of these were FROZEN in the middle, and the others just plain, not flavorful at all. For our entrees we had the "Mariscada" (which they describe as a "paella"), and a tofu-vegetable stir-fry. The peanut-sauce-based stir-fry was pretty tasty, but got boring after a few bites. The so-called "paella" was a tomato-based broth with some rice in it and seafood (shrimp, scallops, mussels... also chicken and sausage but we had it without them). Obviously nothing like a real paella if you've ever had one (it's not meant to be a soup!). This plate actually resembled one they have a Rumba's, but did not taste nearly as good. Overall very disappointed.
Pros: Atmosphere, Staff
Cons: Food!

I have eaten at many places in Nashville and this has to be at the top of my list. Extremely satisfied with my experience. Well done Mambu! Service was great. Have to go in and meet the crotchie old hostess/owner Anita (very funny person). Go early and beat the rush. LOVED IT!!!
