Peli Peli operates a South African restaurant concept in Houston that blends authentic flavors with Southern hospitality. Founded by Chef Paul Friedman, Aiki Michael Tran, and Thomas Nguyen, the group runs two fine-dining venues in Houston—Vintage Park (opened 2009) and the Galleria (opened 2015). The company expanded to The Woodlands, Texas, opening a location there in July 2019. It emphasizes a culture-driven approach to staff and guest service, guided by Kaizen core values (Kindness, Abundance, Innovations, Zappyness, Excellence, Nurturing). The business has earned notable local recognition, with top TripAdvisor rankings for its Vintage Park site and strong ratings on other review platforms.
