    We enjoyed our experience and food and looking forward to going back. We went for a birthday brunch with the family on Saturday afternoon. This was our first time dining at Nafsi. I believe this was the third week of the restaurant being opened for brunch. There was a djj setting a very nice vibe. Dominique was our waitress, and she was very attentive and pleasant. Overall, no complaints about the food, we had the shrimp and grits, the lavender/poppyseed waffles and chicken, and biscuits. Everything was good. Would totally recommend for brunch.

    My group of six had a great time. it was our first time at Nafsi and we liked everything about the evening. Jaycen was a great server and the food was all very good. Drinks: Gin and Vodkas Martinis were all great and the wine easily list met our needs. Appetizers: The Fried Calamari was cooked tender with a light breading, the Ceviche was fresh and tasty, the White bean Hummus was extra special and the salads were nicely portioned Entrees: Pan Seared Herb Chicken ("best chicken ever"), Braised Rosemary Lamb Chops were very good and very tender, Ribeye Steak was cooked perfectly, Fried Catfish ("can't wait to order again") tender with a nice breading; Grits "awesome" Vibe: Fun and friendly Great for a date night or a group dinner. Can't wait to go back!
