I heard our good brother and owner of Shandals, Shayenne Matthew, has recently passed away. I hope it's not true. Thank you for the years of healthy, delicious food you've blessed us with over the years. Give thanks if you've ever eaten here.

Try to call beforehand every time before you go - he almost always picks up if he’s open, and it goes to voicemail if it’s closed. The restaurant is back generally fully open, I called to confirm! Open Tuesdays - Saturdays. Matthew's the best and his food always hits the spot

What an amazing restaurant. It's shockingly well priced - if I lived closer I would honestly be tempted to come here every day. I loved all the dishes we tried - the flavor was great, and the pasta was surprisingly nice texture (not mushy like I feel many pre-cooked pasta tends to be). They don't have very many spicy dishes, but the one spicy curry was wonderful. The fact that the owner doesn't ask (or even accept!) tip was endearing and made me get an extra meal platter (which I was debating anyways). I'll always probably over order here to get a little of everything and ensure left overs for the next meal. The only downside is its not always guaranteed that the restaurant is open. Over the last couple months, I've been 6 times and struck out on 3 of those visits. I've asked my husband to start working in a stop here on the way home just in case we can catch them when they're open.

Truly sucks because I love the food but the schedule is not coherent. Ive gone many times after opening and they're still not done opening or the last 2 times I've gone, and it's not a short drive to get there, it's been closed. It's such a guessing game to go here and it is unfortunate
