I wanted to try it because I've been to Nando's and was curious to see how it compared. It definitely lived up to expectations, and everything was delicious. I got the mild crispy chicken sandwich with a side of yucca fries, which was very good. My fiancé got the chicken with rice and a side of fries. We both really enjoyed our meals. The service was great, our food was brought to the table, and they even cleaned up for us after. The place itself was clean and there were a variety of tables. We'll definitely be coming back the next time we're in assembly row.

Overall the flavors were good but half a chicken was $20 with dry seasoned basmati rice. It could be more of a takeout vs dine in issue, so I will give it another shot. The white sauce they give you is absolutely delicious.

She was talking about the classic (cold cut) italian - I had to disagree because I thought that the steak italian in my hands was the best sandwich I'd ever had. From the soft bread, with loads of flavor, to the contents... it hit at a 10/10 level. Be prepared for a wait - they don't operate at lightspeed. But, in my opinion, the wait and the steep price is aboslutely worth it!

The Halloumi ($12), Horiatiki Salad ($15) + Salmon ($9) were all amazing. There is a good amount of seating inside and a few tables on the outdoor patio.

We were greeted by a really nice man who you can tell has a great heart. He was spunky and we matched his energy. I overheard him say he worked here in high school! They do sell slices but we wanted a pie fresh out of the oven, so we opted for a half tray Sicilian. We also got a small tuna sub. I liked the sub, the lettuce was chopped into the tuna salad which I hadn't seen before. Now the pizza, it was honestly really really good. From the cheese to the crust, I was happy. No wonder they won the 2024 award for cheesiest pizza! I hope this place continues to thrive and gets the recognition it deserves. Check out Leone's!

I was immediately seated by an open window to enjoy a glorious late September day. My server Jackie was so very helpful. I asked her about a couple of things and she was spot on when she said that many people love this salad. It was beyond delicious and so perfect for a quick lunch. I opted for ice tea but If I didn't have more than a few errands yet to do, I would have loved pairing this black and blue steak salad with a Merlot or Malbec!! Close to the movie theater here so I am thinking great place for dinner drinks and a movie. Now that I found Salt + Sound I see myself coming here whenever I'm at Assembly Row.

The interior gave me diner vibes - very laid back and comfortable. At 11:30 it was pretty much empty. It seems like most people get their food to go. Service was prompt and friendly. I ordered the Tofused Banh Mi - tofu, pickled veg, basil, cilantro, and a fried egg on a brioche bun. Definitely not a traditional banh mi but very tasty nonetheless! The teriyaki-like glaze was a little sweet for me and I would have preferred some more spice to balance it out but all in all I was very happy with my visit here and would definitely come back.

I know y'all city slickers are used to places without restrooms, but it would have been nice to wash my hands after scarfing down this yummy albeit messy sandwich.

I ordered a beef sandwich not knowing what to expect, but what arrived was pure deliciousness - thinly shaved beef piled high with bbq sauce and mayo and it's just as messy and sloppy as it sounds. It's like an Arby's sandwich without the horsey sauce but all grown up. Fries are extra and an order could feed a family. No booze so I had a soda instead. Would gladly come back here again for another sandwich.

I ordered the orange upside-down cake and it was honestly the best thing I've tasted this year. The consistency was dense but still pillowy, almost like a pound cake. The bottom had a light glazed icing layer, but the top was truly the star of the show. The orange flavor complemented the cake so well, it literally melted on my tongue like butter. And the best part? It wasn't overly sweet at all. Just perfectly balanced. The hostess was very warm and welcoming, which made the experience even better. There was no wait time since I was the only person in line when I arrived. Inside there is plenty of booth seating for groups and a large bar seating area that's perfect for solo visits or small parties. Parking in this area can be hit or miss depending on the time of day, but there is a parking lot a couple of blocks away which helps. I will definitely be returning...and singing their praises to anyone who will listen.
