Kreole Kitchen
The Kreole Kitchen located at 1800 E Victory Drive is a fantastic Caribbean Restaurant run by a St. Lucian family. The menu reflects the Caribbean vibe, and the taste will transport you to the islands. My husband and have passed this establishment plenty of times and finally decided to stop in. We are very happy that we did. With cook to order fare, as well as buffet style meals there are quite a few items to choose from, with the restaurant also offering breakfast. My husband loves curry oxtails but hates picking out the bones. I had a hankering for liver and onions for weeks and to my delight they had it on the menu as a cook to order item. I usually only eat my mom’s liver because it is a dish that can go horribly wrong, but my brethren did this plate major justice.
My husband really enjoyed his oxtails, he did not have to pick out any tiny bones, and he had a substantial portion that was very filling. The curry sauce was flavorful with a blend of seasonings it seems you can only get in the islands. From the coconut to the ginger to the garlic it was a palette-pleasing bite. My liver was browned to perfection, the onions were soft, and it was all immersed in a rich brown gravy over a bed of rice. Couple that with traditional macaroni and cheese and collard greens and it was quite a tasty treat. We are looking forward to our next visit to Kreole Kitchen. I don’t want to fail to mention that they have a variety of desserts and beverages that you can only get in the islands or specialty stores and restaurants. This is a must-try spot if Caribbean food is what you are looking for. Until next time let’s eat!
