At the heart of San Diego's culinary scene lies Zama, a convergence of ancient Amazonian traditions and modern Californian sensibilities. Our chef's journey through both worlds, weaving together ingredients and techniques to present a menu that's as playful as it is profound.
An unforgettable dining experience awaits. Book your table at Zama and embark on an Amazonian journey without leaving San Diego. Whether you're celebrating a special occasion or simply indulging in the art of fine dining, Zama promises an evening like no other.
An oasis for travelers and locals looking to experience a lively environment that extends beyond dinner, Zama offers a resident DJ, Thursday through Saturdays, aiding in its seamless transformation into an evening restaurant destination with tropical organic, Argentinian new tango, and Latin house sounds. A spiritual experience from the aromas to the sensations, Zama is set to attract San Diego's evening crowd.
The beverage program mimics the space's tropical flare offering cocktails highlighting refreshing exotic ingredients like pineapple, coconut and hibiscus. Specialty cocktails include the Junglerita, a tequila-based drink made with lime, curacao and pineapple-serrano shrub, Zama-Tini made with tamarindo mezcal, pomegranate, lemon, float St. Germain foam and hibiscus powder garnish and Endless Nights made with espresso infused vodka, Mr.Black, coffee liqueur, walnut liquor and boozy coconut whip/meringue.
Each dish at Zama is an exploration, a voyage through the Amazon. Our ingredients tell stories of dense rainforests, vibrant markets, and time-honored traditions. Sourced sustainably and crafted with care, our menu invites you to savor the Amazon's secrets.
My friend was in from out of town and I wanted to take her to a cute spot in Gas Lamp. The vibe inside is like a jungle with leaves and lights hanging from the ceiling. For our dinner we we had the super salad and the sea bass...
Very lively atmosphere with jungle Tulum vibes. Food and drink match the vibe. Fire dancers and live saxophone during dinner... amazing!!!
Zama is the new kid on the block in the Gaslamp Quarter of San Diego with. They are a refreshing eatery with Japanese, Peruvian, and a touch of Mexican inspired cuisine. The key is the infusion of these cultures that is elevating the flavors and textures of their offerings...
Big fan of this spot. I've been coming regularly since they've opened. The sushi is SO good. I love the Royals Royce, Tunalicous, and Salmon Sashimi. I've enjoyed the Filet and I was impressed. My favorite cocktail is the Buenoveza...
This place is fantastic! The food is spectacular and there are so many options from different cuisines. The music is great and they even have a DJ sometimes! The drinks are made with so much care and it is easy to tell the bartenders know what they are doing...
