Our final stop on our Katy foodie adventure was the one and only Peli Peli, which opened up their 3rd location just over a month ago in Katy!
Peli Peli is the only South African fusion restaurant in Texas. Here you'll find flavors from South Africa with hints of other cuisines such as Asian, Dutch, and Portuguese. The restaurant is highly rated among all review sites and even highly regarded by locals here in Houston. And since we're in the midst of Houston Restaurant Weeks, I think it's appropriate to mention that they were the 2nd highest donor last year!
As we mentioned in our previous post, HRW is a great opportunity to go to some of these must-try restaurants for a good cause (win-win situation, right?), and the great thing about Peli Peli is that a lot of their most popular dishes are on their HRW menu! During our visit, we tried a wide variety of the menu and had come to the conclusion that everything on their menu is incredible - even down to their sweet potato french fries! I was absolutely floored by how much I enjoyed every single dish we got. I can go on and on about how good their food is, but for the sake of not making this post a unbearably long, I'll cut to the chase.
