“The set-up (ordering food), can be confusing initwllly, but the server explained and made it simple to figure it out. Iris (our server) was OUTSTANDING! Very informed and helpful with ordering suggestions and wine picks. She was also kind and fun to talk to. Each dish we ordered was delicious. The sardines in butter, arugula salad, the mini margarita pizza and the spicy branzino crudo was so fresh and the perfect amount of heat! We can't wait to come back.“

Deep Fried Ribs

“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.“

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!“

“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. 😉“
