Peli Peli

Good management, professional staff, music nights provide good vibes, good place to bring birthday parties and celebrations... Pros: anything off the grill - appetizers Cons: open more locations, kinda far cuz I live in Clear Lake more

went there a couple of times with my friends. you have to see THE tree. you'll know once you get there. the food is delicious! the filet mignon is AWESOME. it's not a typical steak, but the cut it into 2 smaller pieces and place it on a fried biscuit and smother it in cream mushroom sauce. to DIE for! i had a mojito there one time and it was nasty. not even worth the happy hour price. but besides that, the place is really nice and the food was delicious!! Pros: delicious south african fusion Cons: drinks more

I love this place! Finally something different and not your usual bland and boring cuisine/food. The seasoning on thier food is very unique and not like any that I've tasted before and I've tried many! We had the salmon tartare/bacon wrapped chicken for apps and I had the prawns which looks like mini lobsters! My friends had the sea bass and peli chicken and they loved it. Pros: well marinated food, specialty drinks, really nice ambiance more

We almost didnt try it because we werent sure what South African food was, but Im glad we did! Most people will think its just South African food, but its really just American cuisine using different spices and seasonings from South Africa. Pros: Food, Ambience Cons: Staff was still new when we went more

There are so many new restaurants, but no many of them bring anything new. But Peli Peli really stands out. First, the interior of the restaurant is really striking. The clean lines and textured walls create a truly upscale dining experience. Plus, the food is really spectacular! I had the peli peli chicken appetizers. It is wrapped in apple smoke bacon and grilled. For entree, I had the prawns. They were fresh and huge (Houston really has access to great seafood!). The seasoning really brought out the freshness of the shrimp. I found myself licking the shells! My companion had the sweet and spicy chicken and was blown away. even the unassuming sides like the South African cole slaw was spectacular. It reminded me of the great Houston restaurants that first came out in 1997-2000 (Daily Review Cafe, Quilted Toque, Churrascos) that churned out innovative comfort food. Also, the staff was so friendly. They were unassuming but always attentive. Peli Peli is just a special kind of restaurant. It is definitely a place to take people that you want to impress, whether clients, friends or that special someone. As I write this, I am really craving that Peli Peli chicken appetizer!!! Pros: Innovative comfort food, great decor more
