“A great environment for excellent southern cuisine“

“What an absolutely amazing spot! Nashas is a down to earth and homey small business that serves truly delicious food! When I first arrived I admit I was a little hesitant to give it a chance since it's located at a residential address...BEST Decision ever! The exterior space was fully converted into a small venue complete with an outdoor kitchen, comfortable seating areas and even TVs to watch the game while you eat. I honestly felt like I was right at home. There's a warmth and nostalgic charm like relaxing with family at a backyard cookout.

Nasha was the sweetest! Such a kind soul. She welcomed me in with a smile and checked in several times during my meal just to make sure I had everything I needed. She even offered a complimentary water even though I had chosen not to order a drink with my meal.

I ordered the Fried Catfish and Shrimp combo plate. It was excellent! All of the food is cooked fresh right in front of you. The fish was perfectly flaky with a tasty mixture of seasonings that was perfect with the hot sauce and fries. The fried shrimp was insanely good. Perfect crunch and surprisingly fresh, no fishy after taste whatsoever. I was also really impressed not just with the flavors but the presentation. The dishes come out looking like they were garnished by a chef! Wow! Really amazing!

This is definitely a 10/10! Would highly recommend this hidden gem. Nashas needs to be your next soul food spot to explore!“

“OUTSTANDING!!! We tried about seven different items and they were all amazing!!! The ribeye burger was exceptional and loaded with flavor. The turkey tenders were moist and crispy. My fiancé loved the salad. The virgin mojitos were spot on and the champs Mac-n-Cheese was FIRE!!! The seasoning on it was perfect and it was definitely cheesy.

100% going back and looking forward to trying other items off of the menu. If you are looking for great food with reasonable pricing, then you need to look out for Love Henrietta’s.“

“The service was great, our waitress was kind and attentive. She shared information on their drink offers and we couldn’t help but to try the lemonade. She made a special little concoction and It was delicious, for sure. After ordering, our food was out in no time. It was fresh, plentiful, and flavorful. We had the fish and grits and an order of wings. We have zero complaints! We shared a plate and stuffed ourselves, and still had food left. Highly recommend!“

“Wonderful food…wonderful service! I come from Pomona about once or twice a month to enjoy their food! Highly. Highly recommended!“

“10 out of 10 completely. if you're looking for that chicken that just falls into pieces as you take a bite this is a spot to go to it is amazing and tender“

“House of Wings did not disappoint!! 🤤 We went on Wing Wednesday for the $1 wing deal and honestly it was such a steal. The wings came out so fast, were fresh, crispy, and SO good. (We got the Honey Lemon Pepper Wet.) The staff was super friendly and really went above and beyond to make our experience awesome. Definitely will keep coming back for more!“

“I just ordered from Dante Fried Chicken Ghost Kitchen in Koreatown, and wow the chicken was beautifully piping hot and incredibly juicy. You can tell they've brined it just right, the buttermilk soak really shines through. Definitely one of the most tender bites of fried chicken I've had. It lives up to its buzz!“

“I GrubHub'ed my order and besides the fries being salty to me, as I've cut salt out most my eating time.
I made a mistake with ordering too much fries and they were awesome in getting my first time right, even almost ordered more mash potatoes and I already had that on my order. lol @ me
(I'm lactose intolerant and I'm glad the young lady on the phone saved me from ordering extra of that as she warned me it had milk and butter in it. lol @ me again)
The rest of the food was awesome, and I got the Po'boy sandwich with fries (I forgot to say no tomatoes, as I hate wasting food, but to the trash it went), a side of yams, mash potatoes, and peach cobbler (not the best I've had, but worth the fix. 😁)
I want to go there now, when I get my money and car right, I'll head that way. 😉“

“Everything was wonderful as always“

“I love the platanos and platano de empanadas, is my go to! Pupusas are great. Curtido is great, made the traditional way! I recommend you call in to place your order. Is not that they are slow is just the food is great they get tons of orders. I love that its clean inside too. Yeah its located in not the best street but never been a problem for me. I recommend this place!“

“I started ordering on DoorDash, then went in the restaurant. I have to say this is some really good food. Reminds me of home cooked meals from my grandma and grandpa who raised me.“

“Great Soul Food. Large portion of food at inexpensive prices. One plate can feed 2 people depending on what you order.“
