Best Southern American Restaurants in Hyde Park

My first time dining at Nafsi, I had high hopes, and my dining party was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance was casual yet elegant, with a touch of charm from the hanging flowers from the ceiling. I opted for the catfish with grits and honey-roasted carrots. The catfish was fried to perfection and seasoned well, almost calling for hot sauce, but the included sauce complemented the fish perfectly—delicious! The grits were equally tasty. However, I must mention that the honey-roasted carrots were a bit too crunchy for my liking, and I couldn’t detect any honey. The other ladies in my party enjoyed their choices, which included grilled catfish and salmon. To complete our meal, we ordered a side of greens, which turned out to be incredibly delicious. 😋 I didn’t choose a drink, opting instead for water. Perhaps next time, I’ll try the Margarita. Overall, I had a wonderful experience at Nafsi and will definitely be returning.

The food and service was awesome. I will definitely be back.

Always excellent coming to Virtue restaurant. My wife and I had a belated Valentine's Day dinner there, and we have gone there for special occasions over the years. Always a good experience: great food, great vibes, reasonable price by the standard of a nice night out.

The environment is very welcoming and cozy. The food was delicious and our server was attentive and friendly. Definitely a spot to make a regular.

Chef Moore and The Soul Food Scholar, Adrian Miller, hosted an event that was truly spectacular! I hope they will be able to tag team again. Until then, I will come back to enjoy the great food, service and ambience!
