Now THIS is how you do downtown! From the elegant outdoor A/C patio to the flower wall with the full-length mirror (because every girl and her bestie need a selfie spot), y'all absolutely understood the assignment. The bar selection was on point, and that 140oz juicy steak was everything. I give the revamped Downtown Lo-Cal a solid ! The DJ was dropping hit after hit, the waitress was serving shot after shot, and those "not your mama's" spicy greens had sweat beads forming on my forehead. Whew! Listen, even though it was a Thursday, you would've thought it was Club Cirque in there. (If you know, you know.) Major kudos to Chef Kevin for creating a beautiful space and serving even better food. I'll definitely be back! read more

I don't know... I may have been irritated trying to find parking for 20 damn minutes and it clouded my tastebuds lol But I was underwhelmed with the food. I was reeeealllyy looking forward to trying Pangea for a while and it was "just okay" to me. For now, I'm gonna say 3.5 stars, but I'd come back to give it another chance. The parking situation is horrible though. And no valet??? read more

Amazing, Amazing, Amazing... Visiting Dallas for the weekend and my sister suggested Pangea. Restaurant is located downtown. The restaurant is really beautiful and aesthetically pleasing to the eye. We sat in the padio and I remember the music and whose I can tell you is that the music was such a vibe. We were greeted. Menu was presented and I was very surprised to see that the new was ever easy to read. Then for some reason we all ordered 5 different dishes and can I tell you that every single dish was so good!!! The taste to the flavor to the quantity of the food. Let's not talk about dessert or the appetizer. Everything was 10/10. We met the chef and he was so nice. We told him we were so impressed. So if you haven't been here yet o highly recommend. Enjoy the pictures xxx read more

My first time back since to they moved and re-opened. The customer service was pretty good and attentive. We went on a week night so it wasn't packed, but the vibe was very intimate. We the crab cakes as an appetizer, and it was tasty. I would order again. For my entree, I got the Jerk Roasted Lamb Shank. It comes spicy so be mindful. The spice wasn't too much, it was very tolerable. The Lamb was tender and seasoned well, however, there was more fat than I expected. I also had a side of broccoli, my favorite- ah it was so good! Overall a good meal. For dessert, I had the Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake. When it's warm-hot it's 5/5 stars; semi rich and delicious. I would come back again, for dinner or brunch. read more

I was honestly sooo sad when they closed and thought the food with change with the new location but NOPE! Still delicious. My go to is the stuffed salmon. The severs and staff were amazing. Ask for Keith!! He was a sweetheart which the best recommendations. 10/10 experience! They also had the best playlist. Do note that valet is $20 read more

We had a 7:45 PM reservation, but upon arrival we were told there were no available tables and were instructed to sit at the bar while we waited. After noticing that parties who arrived after us were being seated first, we approached the host and discovered that we had simply been forgotten. We were finally seated around 8:20 PM. By 8:33 PM, no server had greeted us and we still didn't even have water on the table. At that point, I was already searching for other restaurants nearby. We eventually placed our drink and appetizer orders together, but even that process was problematic. By 9:33 PM, we had only received our drinks. The appetizers finally arrived around 9:35 PM and were lukewarm. We ordered the Asian dumplings, crab cakes, and oxtail empanadas, but the crab cakes were completely forgotten. When our entrees arrived, only two of the three dishes came out together. The crab and shrimp pasta arrived later and was lukewarm. Overall, the food was disappointing--everything was either overly oily or excessively salty. My husband's family is Nigerian and takes great pride in preparing authentic jollof rice, and even they commented that the rice was far too salty. The salmon was also only warm, not hot. To make matters worse, I requested an additional set of silverware and never received it. By the time we paid our bill, I was still sharing utensils with my husband. The biggest issue seemed to be a complete lack of communication between the front and back of the house. Nothing about this experience felt organized or well managed. When I finally spoke with a manager, he was understanding and graciously reduced our bill by 50%, but in my opinion, that did not make up for an evening that was subpar from the moment we walked through the door. What was most telling was that every woman I spoke with in the restroom and outside the restaurant expressed similar frustrations and disappointment with the service they received. This was easily one of the worst dining experiences I've had. Between being forgotten, the excessively long wait times, missing items, lukewarm food, and poor communication, there was not a single part of the experience that met expectations. I would rate this experience 0 out of 10 and will never return. Consider this a cautionary review for anyone considering dining here. By far the worst Father's Day experience ever! read more

I wish I could've given this place five stars today, but there was a lot of hiccups in our service. Our server forgot to put our orders in twice and so there was a long waiting time before we got our appetizer and additional bread. I received my salmon entrée, and my guests did not receive their entrée until another 15 minutes later. A manager came over to comp our appetizer, which was really nice, but we were not the only table at the restaurant tonight that complained about the service. And we were one of five tables in the entire restaurant so it wasn't busy but service was very subpar. My meal would've been great had my mashed potatoes not been cold when they came out. Overall, everyone was extremely nice. I just wish the service and operations was a little better. read more

Located in the heart of downtown Dallas off Pacific Avenue, I recently visited the new Pangea location to support the owner, a professional colleague. The ambiance is beautiful -- modern, polished, and welcoming. From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and we were seated immediately. The customer service was excellent throughout the visit. During brunch, I ordered "The Classic," which was well prepared and enjoyable. Later in the day when the dinner menu reopened at 4 PM (we were already there), my friend ordered the pasta while I tried the mac and cheese -- both were flavorful and satisfying. The drinks were great as well; I had a martini and a tequila sunrise. Our bartender, Will, was professional, attentive, and made sure we were taken care of the entire time. Next time, I definitely plan to return in the evening and try the stuffed salmon, as the dinner menu has always been appealing. Overall, between the atmosphere, service, and food quality, this establishment earns a 10/10 from me. I'll absolutely be back. read more

I tried the Have Merci at Pangea Restaurant & Bar and it was outstanding. The chicken was incredibly tender, served over creamy mashed potatoes with a rich, flavorful wine sauce that brought everything together perfectly. Every bite was comforting, well-seasoned, and full of depth. The presentation was beautiful, and the service and atmosphere made the experience even better. If you're visiting Pangea for the first time, the Have Merci is a must-try. Definitely one of the most memorable dishes I've had in Dallas. read more

Pangea - Have Merci was a delicious flavorful meal - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Pangea has my heart! This new location is back and better than ever. From the stunning patio area to the insides beautiful interior.... This place will definitely be a staple for my summer especially given the new central location. I went for the brunch this time and I tried the breakfast tacos. They were good but I did have to order extra bacon for the texture I prefer. I definitely want to go again for the catfish, shrimp and grits. Overall, this was a good visit, friendly waiter and I know this will be a regular spot for me. I recommend everyone try the brunch AND the dinner menu for a full experience of what Pangea has to offer. read more

Pangea - Mimosas - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Street parking is limited in close proximity to the restaurant. The inside of the restaurant is aesthetically pleasing. The patio area had exposed roof components therefore, it was not easy on the eyes. Collectively we decide the food was a 7/10. To forewarn you the jerk lamb was extremely spicy and we had to send it back for another salmon plate. The drinks were 10/10. Our server was fantastic, it was his first week there (3/21/2026), but he was thorough and friendly. read more

Great service. The red fish entree was very good and flavorful. Service was excellent. Cornbread was overcooked and buttery asf, I don't recommend it. Nice decor, patio gives Miami like vibes. Valet charged us $30 to park the truck on the street 'too big for the garage' . If your feet can stand it park in the parking lot a block away. 1 app, 1 side, 2 entrees, 1 drink, still water ($10). Total ticket $200 w/ tip. read more

It's not your grandmama's soul food, but it's good. The best thing about Pangea is the service. The hostesses greet you with the warmth of an old friend and the servers are top tier. The bar area is small, but there's plenty of seating to enjoy dinner. read more

Let's start by saying I saw a lot of mixed reviews before coming, and unfortunately my experience reflected that. We arrived around 11 PM to extremely loud music and waited quite a while for a host, even as staff walked past without acknowledging us. Once we were finally seated, we were told several menu items weren't available. No calamari or dumplings, which set the tone early. I will say, our server was great--attentive and professional. However, the food didn't match the level the place seems to promote. We ordered wings, fries, a burger, chicken sandwiches, and catfish. Everything was pretty basic, and some items tasted like they were cooked in old oil or without much care. The catfish was the only dish that felt worth paying for. The space itself also lacked airflow, which made the overall experience less comfortable. I genuinely want to support and see places like this succeed, but the food preparation and overall service need improvement.....especially when it's marketed as a quality experience. The owner did come over and check on the women at our table, which was surprising considering I'm the only one who lives here and a business owner myself. The DJ was amazing and definitely carried the vibe. After a few drinks, the energy of the space picks up--but for me, that wasn't enough to make up for everything else. My entire table felt the same way. Unfortunately, this wasn't a great experience, and I don't see myself returning. read more

This was my first time at Pangea since I'm visiting in town with a good friend and I must say the food was amazing. It was just so flavorful we started with the Pangea rolls, which was something I've never experienced before, but I hope to have again next we had dumplings. The fried dumplings were so amazing and their Pozo sauce hit the spot. I decided to have the stuff salmon, but I requested potato purée. They don't usually do substitutions, but it was a slow night so I was able to have it my way and I must say I loved it. My friend had the lamb shank and she said it was so amazing and even shared a small piece with me and I must say I agree. lastly, we both decided to have some mocktails tonight and I suggest just mixing it up because the purée does sit at the bottom but overall this was a 10 out of 10 experience must do it again. read more

Very spacious restaurant. We came on a Wednesday night and it was decently busy. I think it'd be a really cool vibe on a weekend as well. I really wanted to try the jollof rice but they were out. I ended up having a poke bowl and greens. The greens were delicious and the poke was also tasty. read more

I had a terrible experience at Pangea and honestly would not recommend it. We were a table of four and waited 45 minutes just for drinks, which is already unacceptable. It then took another 45 minutes for shrimp flatbreads, and by that point, we were extremely frustrated. When I noticed the owner, I politely asked our server if he could come speak with us. I calmly and respectfully explained the long wait times and also mentioned that the music selection lacked variety. Instead of receiving that feedback professionally, the owner, Kevin Ashade, responded with an attitude that was rude, dismissive, and completely unprofessional. As Black women, we approached him with respect, and the way we were treated in return was extremely disappointing. At that point, we decided it was best to cancel our order and go elsewhere. However, even after that decision, my shrimp flatbread still came out another 35 minutes later--and it was incorrect. To make matters worse, my friend overheard him say, "Get these b***** out of here!"* in reference to us. That was shocking, disrespectful, and completely unacceptable behavior from any business owner. No customer--especially those who are calm and respectful--should ever be spoken about or treated like that. The lack of accountability, poor service, and outright hostility overshadow what could have been a great experience in a beautiful establishment. If you can't handle constructive feedback or treat your guests with basic respect, you shouldn't be in hospitality. We will not be returning. read more

Pangea - Drinks that took 45 minutes. The lemon drop was supposed to be blueberry and was more citrusy than anything. No blueberry syrup was added. - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Food was excellent! We had the Nigerian Meat Pies, Jerk Lamb Shank, Brussels sprouts, cornbread, not your mamas greens. Everything was fire!!! The drinks were delish! We had the passion fruit lemon drop, frozen peach Bellini, and old fashion. I'm girly still the passion fruit lemon drop is high rating for me! I would definitely go back and recommend. Ambiance was beautiful as well. Service a tad slow but worth the wait! read more

When entering the restaurant, we were immediately captivated by the ambiance. The decor is neutral yet elevated. I had the opportunity to experience the soft opening and beyond thrilled to go back. The hostesses were kind and eager to assist with any questions or concerns we may have had. There was plenty of food and cocktails being served. The menu may alter as this was a soft opening but to start, we tasted the tomato basil soup, sushi, and shrimp cocktail. As the night progressed, as well as the indulgence of cocktails, we sampled the brisket mac & cheese and wagyu sliders. The brisket Mac and cheese was the star. I am hoping this will remain on the actual menu. This place offers a variety of elevated dishes and in a prime location. I highly suggest securing your reservation. read more

So before I left Dallas I went back 1 more time to treat myself to a celebratory dinner for my new job I was about to start. I even brought a friend with me. It was much slower than the previous time I went, so that was good. I greeted by the hostess at the door and she sat us promptly. Our waitress Jazmin came over and introduced herself and answered some questions my friend had about the menu. I ended up ordering the salmon plate and my friend ordered their oysters. Let me just say both were DELISH!!!! The salmon was perfect and the sauce was OMG!!! My friend let me try a couple of oysters and I have to say those were the best oysters I've had. The vibe was very chill for a Friday evening and it was within walking distance to my hotel. I do recommend Pangea to anyone who wants a lil African-American fusion of food you will not be disappointed. I hope to return on visit. Also check out the ladies restroom it's very posh with this cute purple love seat and they provide mouthwash to refresh read more

We had a very disappointing experience. The service was extremely slow from start to finish. It took about 30 minutes to receive our drinks, 45 minutes for our appetizer, and nearly two hours before our entrées arrived. To make matters worse, after the long wait, we were informed that the fish we had ordered was sold out. When the food finally arrived, it was overly salty and not enjoyable. Despite the excessive delays and inconvenience, no discount or accommodation was offered. As a new mom celebrating my birthday, I was really looking forward to a special evening. I had a great experience at the first Pangea location, so I expected a similar experience here. Unfortunately, I left feeling frustrated, disappointed, and dissatisfied. What I hoped would be a great birthday celebration turned into a very unpleasant dining experience. read more

Pangea - Suya TERRIBLE - New American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

Aesthetics - 10/10 No flower wall and no hookah, thankfully! The ambiance was visually appealing with great music to match. Even better, the volume was perfect; we didn't have to yell over it just to hold a conversation like at some other B/O spots around DFW. Our server, Jasmine, was excellent and very knowledgeable about the menu and offered spot-on recommendations. Drinks - 10/10 Pangea Lemon Drop and Sidecar. Easily the highlight of the night. Both were crafted perfectly and definitely worth coming back for. Food - 5/10 14 oz ribeye and stuffed salmon. We shared the cobb salad as an appetizer, which was good. The steak, not so much. It looked great on the plate, but unfortunately, it was tough and chewy....almost rubbery, and extremely difficult to enjoy. On the bright side, my girl loved her salmon, so that was a win. Overall A cool experience overall, mainly carried by the ambiance and drinks. I'd consider coming back for cocktails, but not much else. read more

Stopped by the new Pangea location yesterday was enjoyed my time. The crab and shrimp dip was delicious, GET THAT! Calamari was average but good. Other than the calamari we pretty much ordered from waiter recommendation. She was very knowledgeable of the menu and that was a big perk. My ribeye wasn't at the temp I ordered but it was still good. My friend ordered the stuff salmon and subbed the rice for potatoes and she liked that too. The music was a bit loud out on the patio. Went on a rainy day so the fact the patio is covered and temp controlled is great. Overall I would return but not often because it is a bit expensive. read more

The space doesn't even feel like you're in Dallas, it's gorgeous. The GM made his way around the entire dining room and patio to talk to each table and say welcome back.

Beautiful space plus a very usable patio with a/c. Very friendly service. We shared everything to taste as many dishes as possible. Menu is a melange of African and American flavors. Standouts are the Nigerian meat pies, the peri peri chicken on jollof rice, and of course Chef's famous Coq au vin which beat #ChefBonnyFlay 's version. I like it; non-traditional tomato based and delicious. Portions are generous. read more

I recently dined at Pangea after hearing they reopened, and unfortunately, the experience was very disappointing. I made reservations in advance for 6:30 PM for two, so I expected things to run smoothly--especially from a restaurant with an experienced owner--but the entire evening felt extremely unorganized. We were assigned multiple waiters, and our main server seemed unfamiliar with the menu and couldn't even remember what we ordered (and didn't bother writing it down). We waited over an hour just for appetizers, which arrived cold. To make matters worse, the wrong appetizer was initially brought out, and we were told the kitchen was "backed up." No one was apologetic, and by that point, I was starving and frustrated. I ended up canceling my entrée because I had no confidence it would come out in a reasonable time. My friend ordered the lamb shank entrée, and even that arrived cold. The only redeeming item was the cornbread, which was decent. I ordered the shrimp tempura roll and crab fingers, and both were honestly unpleasant--I didn't even bother taking them to go. Considering the menu prices are not cheap, the food quality and service were very underwhelming. When the bill came, the waiter dropped it off without acknowledgment or a simple "thank you for dining with us." Valet is also $15, and the valet attendant even mentioned he'd heard that some guests left without eating, which unfortunately aligns with our experience. Overall, between the disorganization, cold food, and lack of hospitality, I don't see myself returning. read more
