Let me start off by saying that this place is absolutely incredible. Ambience is amazing, the staff is extremely knowledgeable on the history of each dish and culture of South African food, and the dishes flavorful. Definitely a refreshing dining experience to The Woodlands.
We went to celebrate our 10 anniversary, and it was our first time at this place. We were greeted with a complementary champagne form Steve. Social distancing and precautions are in high measurement, and temperature were taken upon arrival. The mall door is closed, so the entry is only from the patio side. Our waiter was very friendly, professional and patient. He recommended to us actually everything we had ordered, and he wasn’t wrong. Food was so good. I loved the shrimp skewer, and the Mac and cheese lobster is a must.
Peli Peli was a nice surprise. Mall restaurants and South African cuisine aren’t things that normally hit high on my radar.
We started with South African Sampler which was a nice way to familiarize ourselves with the options. The stuffed cherry peppers were a good transition into our entrees. For the main course we had a couple of chicken dishes including Chicken Espetada, Durban Butter Chicken, and the Peli Peli Curried Chicken. Each dish was tender and moist. The sauces had a slight kick with out over powering the flavors. The Espetada was served as a skewer over the roasted potatoes, carrots and a rice side.
I really love this place. The food is an extreme variety of exotic and delicious plates with sizable portions that will leave you feeling satisfied. I have been here several times and never have had a bad experience. The wait staff it's super courteous and very good at their jobs and the food is consistently great. I highly recommend this place.
Want your taste buds to explode with flavors like never before then experience Peli Peli. A taste from home for me. Everything was delicious . Can’t wait to go again. The prices are very reasonable .🇿🇦❤️
Carol was such a great server! The vegetarian friendly foods she recommended for us adults on this indecisive day were perfect! Even my children's grilled cheese and Mac and cheese were delicious. The grilled cheese was extremely flavorful not a basic grilled cheese. Also not pictured we had Rissoles for appetizer so delicious 😋🤤😋. I definitely recommend second visit. Definitely recommend.
My family and I enjoyed a late lunch at Peli Peli in the Woodlands today. Our experience was nothing short of AMAZING! The food was excellent and the presentation of the food was very well done.
Our server “Lindy” provided the very best service possible and her interaction with us made the experience unforgettable. Lindy accurately answered our questions about the food and even made suggestions that could not have been better.
Lindy took the time to make my family feel special and treated us with hospitality that we’ve not experienced in a very long time.
I’ve noticed that service at many restaurants has declined lately, but not at Peli Peli.
If you want a great meal with great service, you should give this place a try. I give Peli Peli my highest recommendation and I don’t usually write reviews.
Thank you Lindy for such a great experience and we enjoyed learning about South Africa.
Really cute place. The appetizer we had was amazing. Steak is good. My steak even have a cow shaped 😆
Everything from the hostess to the dessert was amazing. Mike our tour guide was great. It was our first time there. He answered any questions we had and helped us make some great choices. We will definitely be back. All of the sauces on the food were so good I wanted to lick the plates. Well done!!!
