shango bistro and bar 4/5 stars $$$ I went with my bestie, 2nd visit. The only physical complaint I have is with those darned bench cushions - the seats are so close to the table, if you're over a size 10, have fun trying to sit down comfortably and maneuvering the bench cushions back in place. It's definitely not friendly towards people who have a voracious appetite. The house arrangement of bread they give is ok - the cornbread is second only to mine - I don't say that to be boastful, just that I make cornbread exactly how I know I like it. If I didn't know how to make cornbread, I could definitely see myself claiming that's the best cornbread I've ever had. The white bread is crusty and good, then there's a whole grain type of bread which I don't particularly care for. We ordered the BBQ ribs and gumbo for appetizers. Ribs were probably top 10 I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a LOT of ribs) - the bbq sauce was most definitely not canned or bottled and the meat was firm yet tender and the connectiive tissue that is usually rubbery or chewy on ribs was broken down perfectly for an easy eat. The gumbo desperately needs salt but otherwise a good stock and had a heavy like base instead of soupy. We then got the mac n cheese and coulotte steak for entrees. Steak med rare, was sublime. The homemade steak sauce that came with was very complimentary, but needed more. I got the entree as it came on the menu but if I were to re-order, the greasy fries would've been subbed for a different starch. They were just too greasy. The veggies are good. The mac n cheese is NO JOKE. It's hot and bubbly and had great cheesy gouda and cheddar flavors. No kidding better than Mooney's. All around great food. Pros: Not a lot of wait time, full bar, not too loud, not a rushed experience. Cons: NO SWEET RED WINES which really subtracts from the allure with our particular wine preferences, also serves coke products, not pepsi. Beverage serving sizes aren't very large.
Testing this review page! We ate at Shango and it was a decent experience but didn't blow us away. The appetizer was decent (seafood crepe wraps) and the entree was on par. Overall, we will not be hurrying back.
Excellent All Around. I've been to Shango a few times to eat, once for brunch and a couple of times for dinner. The food has always been excellent. They do a lot of unique takes on pretty commonplace dishes that seem to always come out great. Anything you order on the menu you'll be happy with, no matter if it's dinner, brunch, dessert, or just snacks at the bar. The wine list is also very impressive with a wide range of varietals at low, medium, and high prices. They also have a very good beer selection, both draught and bottle. Service has always been good, both at the table and at the bar. Happy hours here are the best, two $3.50 draughts and four $4 wines available from 5 - 7:30 pm, with selected $6 snacks. The atmosphere of the entire place is also both unique and classy, it's a very comfortable place to have dinner, eat brunch, or just hang out at the bar.
This place is easily one of my top five in Buffalo. Amazing food. From apps to dessert I was beyond impressed. No liquor, so don't expect to have a cocktail but their wonderful wine list more then makes up for that. For the 9% who voted against this place shame on you, because this is a great restaurant. It has everything I look for, great food, friendly staff, and a creative menu. I can't say it enough...GREAT RESTAURANT!!!
Fantastic Food and Service. From the oysters to a perfectly prepared duck breast. My meal was excellent.
Excellent lunch. Gist cheese salad with shrimp added. very good. get dressing on side though - too sweet. staff very nice

My boyfriend took me to Shango to celebrate my new job and it was the perfect evening! Everything was scrumptious! They bring out fresh bread (whole wheat, white, and sweet corn bread) with a seasoned oil and an antipasto olive dish to nibble on. We started with some sparkling champagne and a few appetizers! We devoured raw oysters and the fried oyster appetizer. They were so tender and juicy, my mouth is watering just thinking about them! My boyfriend ordered the penne pasta dish with crawfish, shrimp, sausage and a cajun cream sauce. I had an oyster po boy (as if you couldn't tell that they're my favorite food already! haha) with thick smoked bacon, lettuce, tomato, onion, and homemade remoulade on a crispy ciabatta roll served with a creamy mustard slaw and honey sweet potato fries on the side. Finally, we couldn't resist splitting bananas foster dessert. It was our first time there and that was by far one of the best meals we've ever had and the service was impeccable! Thanks Rebecca for the excellent service and our compliments to the chef!
Best brunch. Give this place a try.. Especially for bruch. Eclectic and delicious.
The food is good, but I would say it is not worth the price. You are going to pay top steak house prices for low country cuisine

My girlfriend and I had a great experience dining at Shango. The main dining area was reserved for a private party, but there were plenty of tables available on the bar side. The service was attentive, prompt, and respectful. We started with the avocado spring rolls and a half bottle of wine. The springs rolls were good, but I think they would have been better served cold. My girlfriend ordered the creole bouillabaisse and thought the flavor was great - it was very light and fresh with plenty of seafood. I ordered the peppered linguini and it was EXCELLENT. The protein to pasta ratio was perfect (lots of seafood, minimal pasta) and I'm still thinking about the flavorful cognac cream sauce. For dessert, we decided to split the bananas foster. It was much larger than we expected, and the amount of ice cream included was excessive, but the flavors were good nonetheless. The prices were lower than expected, especially when the service and food quality were realized. All in all, Shango is easily the best restaurant I have been to in Buffalo.
