best salad ever

by NickyJo at Citysearch

Loved the food! I'm not a big salad person, but the waiter recommended the salads to a friend and I, and both of us loved em! (Friend not a salad person either). She doesn't like hummus either, but she liked Mambu's. Great outdoor seating, great location, great food, great service!

• Pros: best salad I've ever had
• Cons: ?

Best fine dining in Nashville

by nataculous at Citysearch

Went to Mambu tonight and had the Mahi Mahi special. I'm from the East coast and am very picky about my seafood. I have to say that this might have been the best meal that I have ever eaten. The chef, Corey, paires the freshest ingredients in the nicest way possible. Mambu is the answer to Nashville's traveling clientle. Take my advice, go to Mambu for a nice meal.

• Pros: Great food and atmosphere
• Cons: None that I can think of

Some of the best food in Nashville

by marcum at Citysearch

You need to give this place a try. While only open for dinner (major construction noise from across the streetduring the day) I can honestly say that this is not your typical dining experience in Nashville. The choices for appetizers and entres are extensive enough to provide choice but not so ambitious to over challenge the kitchen. They have without a doubt the best seafood in this area. Their seafood is Hawaiian, hand caught not netted and prepared to an epicurian's delite. Be sure and try the salmon appetizer. For desert try the coconut cream pie...it's to die for. A refurbished bar, with a new bar tender, John, and an expanded wine list completes the evening. I try other restaurants in this area but always leave disappointed; not so with Mambu.

• Pros: FOOD!!! Ambience, service and bar
• Cons: parking and not open for lunch or Sunday brunch

Our Top Choice

by gbd1123 at Citysearch

I cannot say enough about Mambu! My fiance is a chef and is very picky about where we spend our dining dollars. Mambu is the first place he picks. Every time! The atmosphere is clever, fun, retro, clean, and unique adding to the dining experience. Every time I have been in Mambu I have felt at home. GET THE LOBSTER ROLLS!!!!! Don't stop there....we always get the calamari. I don't know the genius mind behind the menu, but it is consistent and delicious every time. That is why we keep coming back. Side note: my fiance has been out of town for a month and his first request upon coming home: dinner at Mambu.

Best Shrimp Dumplings...Ever!

by nashdiva at Citysearch

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!!!
