Food was absolutely amazing. I had the salmon which fell apart with a fork and melted in your mouth. Cooked perfectly and the entire dish complemented each other. Have some wine or their signature Hurricane then finish off with some Beignets. Please keep room for dessert and get the beignets. You'll thank me later. Nice spot for a date night or company dinner. I will be back again.
Excellent meals! This is our "go to" place when we want something different from your basic beef and seafood.
Our go to date night since it opened 15plus years ago. Wonderful consistency in the food,always great specials and very affordable prices.great cool vibe and attentive service. Pro tip my wife says not to share but there mac cheese is so good if your get an order to go (2lbs) and add 8oz of lobster meat from whole foods ,you have luxury dinner for 4 for cheap!
This is an intimate and quiet restaurant that serves New Orleans style dishes. The ambience is dimmly lit, so you feel like your the only one's there. They also have large plates that can be shared, so the helping size for one person is enough for 2 dinners - Even their desserts are sharable. Their dishes are also not too "heavy" in the stomach. We ordered the "Crab Hushpuppies" appetizer, which we've had similar hushpuppies at other "New Orleans" style restaurants, and you're aleady getting full before you've ordered your main entre. Shango's Crab Hushpuppies are balanced with a pairing of a house made cocktail sauce that is very mild with a light citris taste that makes the hushpuppies magically not sit in your stomach. This is when you know the chefs know what they're doing. I also ordered the stuffed trout (whole), and on the plate you can see it - I mean from head to tail. But there was not a single bone in between. As I was digging with my fork expecting to hit a backbone, there was nothing - That trout was de-boned very meticulously. The time and care that Shango takes with building their dishes will definitely make me come back again.
The food is actual perfection, everything ordered was amazing. The restaurant is beautiful and comfortable. The service was fantastic, our server was Chris, he was polite, professional, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Top tier all around!
Great experience this was my second time here and everything was a 10+ Highly recommend
Great flavors! Our dinner definitely reminded us of the NOLA dishes we loved.
