Shaw-Naé’s House
Soul Food
A whole snapper, deep-fried twice for a crunch audible from across the room, arriving upright as if still swimming, tells you everything about what kind of soul food restaurant this is. Six tables on Staten Island, pitchers of rum punch and sangria on nearly all of them, and a dining room that always feels like a party that forgot to wait for a reason. The New York Times named it one of New York's best new restaurants in 2024.

Whole snapper
“Whole snapper is deep-fried twice for a crunch you can probably hear on the other side of Staten Island.”
The New York Times, 2024 -
Soul fries
“Almost every dish is a party in its own right, like the Soul Fries that are buried under cheese sauce, cubes of fried chicken, spoonfuls of collard greens and molten orange heaps of warm macaroni and cheese.”
The New York Times, 2024 -
Wings
“Wings, varnished with a cinnamon-scented syrup, make you think of chicken and waffles.”
The New York Times, 2024 -
Mac and cheese
“no-holds-barred mac and cheese with chewy molten scraps mixed in and a fish fried whole and brought to glory.”
The New York Times, 2026
