Ital Kitchen — Restaurant in New York

ITAL KITCHEN⭐️ is a phenomenal food journey right in your own neighborhood. The food is delectable, fresh from the garden, plentiful and spiced with sophistication and authentic Jamaican seasoning. The Ital Kitchen menu is fresh as a dip in a mountain stream, and comforting as drying off under the sun. It took me right back to Jamaica. You will eat here and feel appreciated by the flavor, and nourished when you leave. The Chef’s choices also give you an insight into what our Jamaican culture and legacy is all about.

A friend had recommended Ital Kitchen to me not even realizing I’m discerning because Jamaican food is my favorite. Now I wish there was also an Ital Kitchen in Harlem.

Chef Michael and the CaribBrooklyn garden atmosphere are a huge part of the enchantment of dining here. You feel at home but you also feel transported. From I stepped through the door, the blend of sizzling veggies, root ginger and a few secret notes greeted me before I met the really sweet hostess. Chef Michael welcomed me, asked how is my day and invited me to stroll into the garden to choose a table.

My friend and I couldn’t resist the Thai Fi Curry served with fluffy, whole grain rice blend. I ate til I was full, and still had the lovely bowl to take home for my breakfast! (picture)

The rice has a presence of coconut cream like the typical Jamaican rice and peas, BUT Chef put his own style on it. There is a special blend of grains and the flavors are lighter in a way that makes you feel full but not weighed down. The stew has a dazzling mushroom curry base, with summer fresh produce like baby bok choy, chickpeas, perfectly firm okra and grape tomatoes, heartily cut. This dining room is BYOB, and the crisp Sauvignon Blanc we brought paired beautifully with our vegan spread. Garden dining seats larger parties (safely).

Ital Kitchen is the height of Brooklyn dining experiences because it provides every joy that sharing a meal is supposed to give! Will def bring more friends back. ...

Ital Kitchen is a delightful culinary experience that brings vibrant Caribbean flavors to life. The food was absolutely delicious, bursting with bold and authentic tastes. I tried the [specific dish], and it was flavorful and perfectly seasoned. Everything was fresh, and the portions were generous, making it well worth the price.

The service, however, was a bit inconsistent. While the staff was friendly and welcoming, the wait time for food was longer than expected. It seemed like they were slightly understaffed, but they made up for it with their warm hospitality and positive attitude.

The atmosphere is cozy and laid-back, with colorful and eclectic decor that truly captures the Caribbean vibe. The outdoor seating area is charming and a great spot to relax and enjoy a meal with friends.

I spent around $20–30 per person, which is reasonable considering the quality and portion sizes. I went for dinner, and I would recommend going early or making a reservation, as it can get quite busy.

Overall, Ital Kitchen is a hidden gem with incredible food and a lively, welcoming atmosphere. If you’re craving authentic Caribbean vegetarian cuisine, this is the place to be. I’ll definitely be...

++++ Food is great. I was reticent to do vegan jerk chicken, but this is very delicious (the 'meat' doesn't taste like tofu trying to be meat, which is disgusting, it tastes more like its own dish)

+++ Service with a smile, I loved our waitress and hostess. they were fun, colloquial, and easy to talk to....The dinner felt like going to a friend's house, as opposed to a restaurant Can't beat BYOB

++ Sweet plantains were great, avocado salad was great, and huge. that could be a meal in itself. Moss juice is good too. I mixed it with Riesling to make a good combination. Juice could use a little less ginger tho.

When the dessert (strawberry shortcake) is the lowest rated in my rating, you know the dinner had to be great

Small, so it crowds easily there's no wait list, you'll get 'come back in an hour or so.' If you come back before the next couple...
