    Came here for lunch with a friend Sunday afternoon Absolutely no one there Our waitress was super attentive a little too much for my liking but she was cool lol She made us a special drink I wasn't a fan because it was very syrupy but she said all the pineapple juice was gone due to the penny mimosa they have at brunch which seems to be very popular here The food was good ! Flavorful a little different for me but delicious . I appreciate the bread that comes And they gave us a free dessert for it being my first time Cherry on top the chef came to say hi!

    Fish & grits  / Creamy Grits with Oxtails

    Love the feel of the restaurant. It has a welcoming "small dining" or "family cafe" feel. The decor and feng shui of the restaurant is fitting for dining for families, just the friends or date day. The food is delicious! It says farm to table in the name and you can tell that it's fresh. There is a wait for the food but it's because they cook to order. This is not a place where you come to get your food fast. Waiting comes with great and fresh food. I had the oxtail breakfast and my husband had the fish and grits breakfast. Because we don't eat pork, we don't have the grits because they use bacon drippings in their grits. The menu has something for everyone: pescatarian, vegetarian, vegan and meat eaters. Today's service was a little slow with drink refills and condiments we needed but the server did tell us they were not only cooking for the restaurant but also a big event that was being catered off the premises. They also have a space that seems like it can be reserved for private or large party dining. I definitely will be back!!

    Thoughtful fresh food and great service! I had a delicious (and beautiful) salad, empanadas (YUM) and was treated to some tasty cheesecake! Chef is involved with guests - very welcoming - but won't share the dressing recipe! :) I sat inside but the outside area is very inviting. Only tip: the restrooms really need an update / refresh

    The food is always amazing, the atmosphere is great, and the staff is consistently friendly. Chef Casey always delivers excellent dishes and makes every visit memorable.

    I had seen Astor's Table somewhere on TV or social media. It was a video and I can't remember where I saw it. Anyway, we decided to stop here for dinner on our way home from Galveston. The service was excellent. The chef/owner came out and shook our hands and welcomed us home. That was a great touch. There is such a variety on their menu that it's hard to decide what to order. That includes their appetizers. We wish we lived closer so we could come back and try more dishes. Anyhow, we had the chicken empanada and the beef empanada as an appetizer. We got one of each that we split between myself and my husband. We could have ordered two each but we weren't sure of the size at the time. We ordered them to be baked rather than fried. They were delicious along with the chimichurri sauce. We preferred the beef, but the chicken was excellent too. We ordered the beef kebabs, which has a name on their menu that I can't remember at the moment along with their sweet yellow rice and veggies. What a presentation! You have to go look at the pictures. The kebab was hanging over the dish and we would slide off a chunk at a time as we ate. The yellow rice was slightly sweet and had raisins. My husband is a fussy eater, but he loved the rice! The meat was tender and cooked to perfection. We had to try the desserts because how often can you order the South African Trio of Desserts in a restaurant? The Milk Tart was slightly sweet and pleasant. The pudding (can't quite remember the name of it) was hard. They were out of the peppermint crisp so they offered us to sample a new Keylime pie they had. That was delicious! We were disappointed that the restaurant was not more busy because they have such a unique menu and the food was amazing. Will stop by there again on our way through the area. Warning: The Peri Peri Sauce is spicy!!

    Went to Astor's Table for my birthday dinner and had a genuinely exceptional experience. The warmth and hospitality at this restaurant are a rare find. And the food is delicious too! If you're not sure what to try on the impressively diverse menu, the staff is great with recommendations.

    The first thing I'm going to mention backwards is that the Chef came around to each table. The food was different and delicious. The wings were crispy and flavorful. The French toast was ok but would've been better had the batter been a little sweeter. The grits were creamy and hit the right place for my palate. The server Travis gave gear suggestions and was always there when needed. An excellent quality for a server. The decor was classy and fit the theme of the restaurant.

    Beef empanada
    Trish N.

    The service was very quick and attentive from the moment we walked in. We chose to sit on the patio and I loved it! Even though it is so hot during the summer, it felt breezy under the patio and it was so nice to get fresh air. We ordered the african spicy fried chicken empanadas and one beef fried empanada. The fried chicken empanada was sooo good, the stuffing was flavorful and balanced nicely with the amount of crust. The crust itself was crispy and thin. I highly recommend these. I did not like the beef empanada as much because I felt like it was a little bit salty and there was less crust but it was still pretty good.

    I can't believe I have not left my review. This is the longest houston restaurant week menu I've ever seen! This place was packed to the max, the food presentation was amazing. I really love that one of the menu features which is an around the world theme, is presented with those country flags. I never seen anything like that before. Wasn't something that I ordered on this visit, but it definitely inspired me to return and explore the menu much more. Chef Casey is the BEST TO EVER DO IT. I admire his charismatic personality he makes time even when he's the most busy, this man makes time to introduce himself and greet each table. I never seen or felt so seen and valued, on going to a place on a whim. This makes me want to bring my entire family. Dining here feels like you're visiting your uncles home. It really feels like home. Oh yeah, and your girl STILL NEEDED SOME MILK with that heat that was delivered from that jollaf rice and fish I ordered. My table guest had the ox tails. I'm not an ox tail lady but trying theirs was magical... I'm talking tender, full of flavor, NO FAT, well not in the part I tasted. The gravy with the ox tails was nice and creamy just like you want it.... Not watery or to thick, it was perfection on the texture throughout. I look forward to returning here. Only flaw was the rice was a little under cooked for my guest and chef Casey repaired/replaced that with grace. I loved it here.

    I chose this location for the day of my birthday...and I am so glad that I did. My first time experience was so fun, light, and welcoming. Parking was a breeze as they have a lot with ample parking. No valet needed!!! Yay!!! They have an indoor, outdoor and covered outdoor seating options. The DJ arrived and provided a music playlist that was catered to his audience. I noticed other patrons from various ethnic backgrounds which is always a good sign and plus! A lot of families and single couples were enjoying brunch time. The owner/chef came around to make sure everyone was doing great....he obliged me with a birthday tres leche piece of cake! Strangers sang happy birthday to me...:) I chose the peri peri breakfast plate and really enjoyed my wings. A highlight was the mystery mimosas and after the first one, they are a penny each!!! I am adventurous and love mystery...hence my addiction to the A&E channel..,I digress;). Having mimosa after mimosa surprises was a win!! I thoroughly enjoyed my day and I am planning my return. Next time I would like to try a dinner option.

    My friend wanted a place that had multi brunch options, and chose this place. We both came here for the first time on a Saturday AM. The reviews looked pretty solid, so I was sold. We made a resy for 10:45am, but upon arrival, we really didn't need one. Place was quiet at that time. But my the time we left, the crowd came. I like the easy decor with black art on the walls, wine rack display, and nice indoor outdoor seating. Food- was solid. I had the Spicy chicken empanada, and 2 pancakes. My friend ordered the Shrimp and grits and this was great. She gave me a good portion to try, and I would definitely order this next time. She also got a biscuit on the side. She had to ask a few times for butter and jelly, but she eventually go it. Service - was pretty solid. I love that Chef Casey came out to the floor, and greeted each guest. He stopped at our table and chatted us up. He encouraged us to return back for dinner. He had a kind, welcoming spirit. They also have a bar in the back, for just drinks. There are wine racks everywhere, and I think a wine club? I wonder if they had a happy hour... If in the area, would definitely come back to support this black chef restaurant/businesses.

    Oxtails with Mac n cheese
    Kyla W.

    Yesterday, my husband and I visited Astor's Table for the first time. We decided to try it based on the yelp reviews and extensive menu options. Ambiance: So the ambiance... is interesting. It's giving like "upscale, wine / piano bar" but at the same time "comfy & established Mom and Pop." That's the best way I can describe it. It's not a bad vibe but the decor does clash a little. You can tell that with the prices, black table cloths & cloth napkins the aspiration is fine dining but the decor and setup just slightly clash with that. Based on the reviews I just didn't gather that. Experience: We were promptly greeted by a hostess and sat down for lunch. Our server Jade was very friendly and knowledgeable. The Chef also came out & asked if we had any questions and made recommendations. (It was during lunch so there were only a few tables seated.) **Food: We ultimately ordered the oxtails, one with jollof rice and sweet plantains & the other with mac & cheese, (around $35 each.) Our meal was hot, fresh, and quick. I'm not a huge fan of oxtails, but my husband said this was his second favorite oxtails EVER. They were extremely tender, falling off the bone, well seasoned, great portion size, and the Mac n cheese was delicious. It wasn't baked and it wasn't extremely cheesy, which I loved & still very flavorful. 9/10. The only two things that we didn't like was that our water was served without ice and the jollof Rice just wasn't what we were used to. It was flavorful, spicy, and seasoned, but I don't know what kind of rice it was. It seemed to be some other sort of grain that was smaller and a little harder but it wasn't bad. It is a South African restaurant and I've never had South African Jollof Rice but it just wasn't our favorite. 7/10 on the rice. 9/10 on the sweet plantains & oxtails. Other than that, they have a very extensive menu, a beautiful outdoor patio for seating, the staff was very nice and the restaurant seemed to be very clean. They offer a full bar with a great mimosa deal and the Chef seems very involved. Closing Remarks: While I believe these other reviews are their honest experience, you can tell that the chef is extremely involved in his business. Meaning, if you have any issues, he seems extremely willing to accommodate. If we would've asked for ice, he would've given us ice. You can tell that he wants his business to thrive & to provide great service. I don't get that from many restaurants these days. So when you do try it, if there's something you don't like, I'd definitely speak to him. That's my two cents. *Overall 9/10. My husband says we'll be back!

I canNOT believe what I have been missing!!! I tried the egusi soup with pounded yam and was literally floored by how good it was. I brought some home for my wife and kids and they all loved it. I've been back several times since. Unfortunately I NEVER see anyone in there so I hope they are getting enough service to stick around.

Overall, I found the food to be very flavorful, well seasoned, and unique. My daughter and I actually ended up liking each other's meals more than our own, so we switched plates, which worked out well. We also ordered a few extra items, including wings and yams. The pounded yam was interesting and very different from anything I usually eat. It is probably not something I would go out of my way to order again, but I am glad I tried it and now understand a little better how it is eaten. The one disappointing part of the visit was the ordering experience. The young man who rang us up was polite, but he was unable to make any recommendations. He said he had been working there for about three months and still could not really suggest what to order. For someone like me, who is unfamiliar with this type of food, recommendations would have been very helpful. I would have appreciated some guidance on the most popular dishes, common choices, or what first-time customers usually enjoy. That said, the owner was extremely kind. She came out to our table, spoke with us, and helped explain how to eat some of the food we had ordered. I really appreciated that. She came across as a very sweet person, and based on her hospitality alone, I would come back to support the business. This style of food may not personally be my cup of tea or something I will crave often, but I respect the flavor, the care, and the local business behind it. I would give Bantu House four stars. It could have been closer to 3.5 for me personally, mostly because of the lack of ordering guidance, but the owner's kindness and the quality of the food pushed it to four.

We decided to go after church service. This place right next to an African food store. When we walked it the place was very intimate and had the really gooood Afro beats playing on the big screen TVs. IB the waitress/ hostess greeted us and allowed us to pick Our seats. My advice: Don't look at menus, but ask IB instead. It pretty much worked like this: We: 1. Picked our rice (plantains are included as a side) 2. Pick meat (goat, fish, chicken, or beef) 3. Order the moi moi (a must have if you are new to Nigerian Cuisine) The menu had a wide variety of soups and stews, but I'm not much of a menu reader. I usually go with what the waitress or waiter recommends. I had the Jallof rice with plantains, goat, and moi moi. Now, I am an American that knows and loves spicy food. THIS Nigerian food is perfection.... Not too spicy as some Nigerian restaurants can be. The best thing is, if you want it spicy, the chef will bring it to the back and add the spices to your liking. I had the pleasure of speaking with the Chef. Her name is Auntie Christy. She recommended (for people that are really looking for a taste of Nigeria) : Fisherman's soup! She said that it has a lot of ingredients from the Motherland and is one of her most exquisite dishes. I brought some home to my husband and he LOVED IT! as did me and Our children She did NOT disappoint!
