TL;DR

Travelers report no major complaints about hotel all-inclusive food after 5 visits, though dessert variety can be inconsistent (e.g. sand tart pastries only appeared on the last day of a 3-week stay). For variety, guests recommend dining out at the restaurant Vasilki.

One traveler noted the food at Zahabia hotel wasn't tasty and they had no desire to return. Their opinion: if you're on all-inclusive but end up eating outside the hotel anyway, there's no point — it's simpler to just stay in an apartment compound.
