Shebeen Pub And Braai - Charlottesville

Everything was amazing and I will go back absolutely. they have a lot of high quality options for my gluten-free woman. the filet was fantastic, like the Coconut Chowder soup. the only complaint I had was when a man followed my wife to the woman's bath. my server was on my table (in sight of the bathroom,) when this happened and I brought it to her attention. her answer was okaay, as if the most normal in the world. I will say that they practice what they preach because she was not excited when I got up and went into the woman's room and stood there until my wife came out of the stall (the guy went to the other stall). but it was an unpleasant situation. we're going back, but we'll be sure to use the rest of the room before.

Our server was simply great. Very attentive but did not hover at all. As for the food, I could write for days and not do the food justice. It was my first time having dinner at Shebeen and I assumed it would be good but it was amazing. Drinks were top notch as well. Couldn't be happier with the experience. Looking forward to my next meal there.

My two guests, UVA college boys and I all enjoyed the resto, the meal and service. Large portions, tasty, attractively presented food appreciated by all. Conversation easy in low to moderate noise of main restaurant. One thing, coffee was feeble, pretty much in the worst tradition of American coffee shops. Needs work.

We travel up from Richmond and always enjoy our time at Shabeen.

We came to the Shebeen for Restaurant Week and had a great dinner. Started with samosas, which Shebeen does really well, and frikkafel, which was lamb meatballs on a delicious tomato sauce. Went on to lamb ribs and peri peri game hen. Terrific dessert. All very good and service was excellent. Also enjoyed a draft Guinness.
