Best Restaurants for Spicy Food in Avenel

we had an amazing time. Everything was delicious and everyone that worked there was super nice.

Amazing food and atmosphere. From the gumbo to the brown butter bourbon bread pudding, we enjoyed every bite! The jazz trio authenticated the experience. Chef Eric brings the flavors and dishes from the Big Easy to NYC. Highly recommend!

Shan was recommended by a female duo I follow on IG...bklynmavens. The experience surpassed my expectations, every dish was delicious with a bit of spice but not to overwhelm. My dinner companion does not eat meat and our waiter suggested the Dan Dan noodles without pork and it was a home run, she's currently looking up a recipe online to attempt it at home lol. She had the prawn dry pot as well and we both did the happy dance when tasted. I was not disappointed with my duck entree that came with buns, duck was cook to perfection and the sauce was perfect for that meal. We split the coconut cotta dessert, different for us but a welcomed change, tasty yet light. We will definitely return with others to experience Shan. Thank you for the good food and service!

I was really impressed! First of all, the bartender, Anthony, was outstanding. The drinks were delicious and my friend and I were asking for “custom” items and he never made a face or complained or acted inconvenienced. The drinks he made were spectacular. Second, the food was really good. We had the tuna tartar tacos which were amazing. They were a o light and the fish was super fresh. Then we had a pepperoni pizza and the eggplant chips with whipped ricotta. The ricotta was next level. So creamy and seasoned perfectly. The eggplant chips were something different and so good! The pepperoni pizza was cooked just right so the crust was chewy on the inside and crispy on the outside and it wasn’t too topping heavy. All in all, we had a great night out and enjoyed delicious food. We will be going back!

Amazing food. Even better service. Unsure of the kind man that greeted us at the door, but he made our night all the better! And actually took the time to speak to my 5 year old daughter which I always appreciate! A great gem to have in the neighborhood. I’ll definitely be back!
