Shango Bistro & Wine Bar

“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.”

“Friday evening dinner. The food from small plates to desserts to drinks were all amazing. We had pork belly and tuna kabob for appetizers, had fried chicken and Creole meatloaf for entree and topped it with mouth watering bread budding. Will definitely go back.”

“We came here with a group of 10 for St. Patrick’s Day, but weren’t aware that the restaurant was offering a set Irish menu. It would have been nice to have at least a limited version of their regular menu available, as several people in our group don’t eat Irish food. The holiday concept was great—we just wish it had been better advertised.”

“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.”
