Shango New Orleans Buffalo Reviews
I’ve been to this restaurant two times now and it never disappoints. If you’re considering going, please do! The last time there my partner and I decided to get drinks. He got an apple cider mule and I got a blood orange spritz. Both were perfect and delicious. We got the seared pork belly as a started which was delicious as well. It was agreed that one wasn’t enough because of how good it tasted. The combination of the pork with the sauce and corn was perfect. For the main dish he got grilled filet of sirloin which was cooked perfectly. And the fries were so good. I got the penne which was a perfect combination of spice and sauce. There was enough sausage and shrimp that I wasn’t worried about running out before the dish was done. We would recommend all of this food to anyone trying this place for the first time. We both ended up leaving with extra to take home and it reheated perfectly the next day
This place was amazing! We have been wanting to check it out for a while and finally stopped by for a friend’s birthday. The food was incredible - the fried chicken was super moist and the pork belly melted in your mouth. The hush puppies and banana foster was also delightful. Service was great as well, we got a cute birthday candle to celebrate. We will definitely be back and will be recommending this place going forward!
One of our favorite places to dine when we're in Buffalo. Tucked away in a great location along Main Street and across from a university, this place has great service and the food is awesome. I've tried something didn't each visit and I haven't been disappointed. I can't wait to go back and try something new. Thanks for the great experience.
We were blown away by the food here! It was truly outstanding. We’re from Toronto where creole food is virtually non existent so it was such a treat to be able to have some incredible creole food! Right up there with what I’ve had in New Orleans. The bread with honey butter, the shrimp and grits, and the creamed corn were so so delicious. The service was excellent as well!
Casual and relaxed atmosphere with a nice and airy outdoor / window area. The food was spectacular! Clearly they take pride in the details. I had two dishes and both came on cast iron dishes to keep them piping hot throughout the meal. A big plus is their vegetarian options! The lentil stew was out of this world. Everything about it was perfectly cooked. Check them out! You won't be disappointed. The staff was very friendly as well.
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.
We had an amazing time at this restaurant. The portions are giant, the food is delicious! The service was lovely, too. If you take the metro, it is very close to the University station or LaSalle. We wanted to try the desserts as well but we were so full that we couldn’t haha. Definitely coming back to this place.
This was one of the more stellar dining experiences I have had! Be aware that there are more options available for desserts AND drinks than are online. The fried chicken and grits and greens were all so good it was hard to decide what the star of the show was. The bread basket was EXCEPTIONAL (that corn bread was better than most I have tried!) Calamari was crispy and fresh and the dipping sauces were unique. My husband got the Mac and cheese with andouille sausage and it was two meals for him. The dessert was a KEY LIME creme brulee with a blueberry compote and it was out of this world. Additionally our waitress was funny and super helpful. What a great night out!
Such a fun hidden gem in WNY. Steak PO Boy was perfectly cooked. Super tender. All the sides were great, starting with the bread basket and butter. Make sure you don’t leave without trying the beignets. Might just have to get 2 orders of it next time! Wanna try every entree on the menu as well!
I went to this restaurant to celebrate my brother's Mother in law Saturday evening. I was expecting to eat so so food! OK Food! Nope! I had the seafood stew! OMG! IT was amazing. I wish I had a loaf of bread 🍞 so I could dip it into the stew. That sauce no joke!! The young lady who serviced our table was extremely nice and patient. I'll definitely return and order that Seafood Stew.
We stumbled upon this place when heading back to our AirBnB after a long day visiting Niagara Falls. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere but it’s very dark so hard to see and the booths are tight. There was also no AC. We got the Burrata for an appetizer and it was mediocre. For our meals we got the shrimp poyboy which came with delicious sweet potato fries that had a honey glaze and the salmon which came with jambalaya, which my mom really enjoyed. (She is hard to please when it comes to food) My dad got the seafood stew which had good flavors but the seafood was all overcooked. My sister had the seasonal salad which she finished. (She never finishes her meals) We also got the Mac and cheese side and it was pretty good. Overall, it was a pretty good restaurant but I’m not sure if I would recommend it
Came here unexpectedly on my birthday after another restaurant closed without notice. This place had great reviews and a nice atmosphere, so we were hopeful. Unfortunately, the service and food were extremely disappointing. My sister’s blackened salmon was visibly undercooked (photo attached), and my Cajun meatloaf arrived cold/lukewarm. We would have sent both dishes back, but our waitress never came back to the table to check on us, ask how the food was, or offer refills. We had to flag her down just to get water, and earlier I had to go to the hostess stand myself to get salt, pepper, and straws. By that point, I didn’t even bother ordering another drink. Gratuity was added automatically, which is lucky, because the level of service did not justify it. We spent about $200 on a birthday dinner we did not enjoy. Nice atmosphere, but poor service and improperly prepared food ruined the experience. We will not be returning.
I wish I could give 0 stars. I left another Mardi Grai party to come to Shango for some food. I was advised that there was no take out. There was no line out the door, and literally no other patron that was dressed for Mardi Grai besides ME ... I paid for my drinks, no tip, and left. Next year I'll be at Hot Mama's for Fat Tuesday
