We really loved Nelly‘s. We got their famous rotisserie chicken and empanadas and both were delicious. Drinks were good, priced fairly, & service was great

Nelly's: South American Fare Without the Guilt. If you are looking for authentic, well-executed Bolivian food in a clean, comfortable setting in Centerville, OH, go to Nelly's. Here's why:
My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed a wonderful lunch there today. The restaurant has a clean, inviting atmosphere that fits a pleasant modern traditional style.
One of the biggest highlights for me was the acoustics. As I have pointed out in earlier reviews, I am hearing impaired, and often restaurants are too loud for me to converse comfortably. However, even with the music playing and the room filling up to six tables, the noise level was manageable, we could still enjoy our conversation without noise pollution.
The food was excellent, with nice portions that provided good value for a bill of $62 before tip. My husband loved his Pavita (shredded chicken with seasoned mayonnaise and olives), finding it very refreshing.
I had the Veg Salpicon (V+ on the menu indicated they could make it vegetarian), a satisfying vegetarian dish with warm black beans, cheese, and a generous topping of homemade Pico de Gallo.
The starter, Yuca Relleno, was surprisingly light and delicious. I was hoping it would remind me of the market in Santo Domingo where I first tried yuca, it did not, it was a taste all it's own.
We finished with the homemade Traditional Flan, my husband's first, which he described as silky, sweet, and well-balanced, a perfect end.
The service was also a major highlight, characterized by the professionalism and friendly attitude of our server. She was fantastic. The kitchen is highly efficient, as the food arrived fast.
Note: The coffee was good, but the service was slowed by a delay in the tea, which ended up being a standard Lipton bag. This was a missed opportunity for the restaurant to showcase Bolivian tea culture with a more authentic offering, like Sultana.

Outstanding South American cuisine, hearty and flavorful. The chicken is their specialty, but I'll be back for the Pique Macho, just excellent. Highly recommended!

We were the only ones in the restaurant but the service was so slow it was comical. The chicken sandwich was dried out. Honestly would have been better off getting a rotisserie chicken from Costco. Very disappointed

We came to the area for an appointment (from Columbus) and stopped here for something different. Having been to Bolivia, we found the food authentic and incredibly fresh and delicious! We tried so many of the menu items and all were perfect (plantains, salteña, yuca rellenos, peanut soup, saice, and flan). The service was excellent also. We even chatted with our waitress about places in South America to visit. Despite living over an hour away, we will definitely be back!

Nelly’s is an absolute must-try! It’s one of my favorite local places. The food is always cooked perfectly and the flavor is out of this world. Try the crispy chicken, rice, and plantains! It’s the food that dreams are made of. 😍
