Honestly? I am quite disappointed with my order. I never write a negative review but I feel I had to for the first time. I did a... Phone order and asked for the vegan Oxtail with Rice and Peas and Sweet plantain. When I got my food I saw the my sweet plantainwere burnt (it was an additional $5 for it mind you so that was very upsetting), my rice and peas was just white rice withquinoa which had no flavor, was very bland and very grainy. Lastly, the Oxtail? I did not like it at all. I?m just disappointedwith the meal that I did not get to finish which almost coated me $30. I?m not in any way stating that Ital Kitchen is a badbusiness. They probably had a bad night but I just wasn?t happy paying for what I got and not even eating everything. I hopefor the best with this business and they continue to thrive. Read more

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 mountainstream, and comforting as drying off under the sun. It took me right back to Jamaica. You will eat here and feel appreciated bythe flavor, and nourished when you leave. The Chef?s choices also give you an insight into what our Jamaican culture and legacyis all about. A friend had recommended Ital Kitchen to me not even realizing I?m discerning because Jamaican food is myfavorite. Now I wish there was also an Ital Kitchen in Harlem. Chef Michael and the CaribBrooklyn garden atmosphere are a hugepart of the enchantment of dining here. You feel at home but you also feel transported. From I stepped through the door, theblend of sizzling veggies, root ginger and a few secret notes greeted me before I met the really sweet hostess. Chef Michaelwelcomed me, asked how is my day and invited me to stroll into the garden to choose a table. My friend and I couldn?t resistthe Thai Fi Curry served with fluffy, whole grain rice blend. I ate til I was full, and still had the lovely bowl to take homefor my breakfast! (picture) The rice has a presence of coconut cream like the typical Jamaican rice and peas, BUT Chef put hisown style on it. There is a special blend of grains and the flavors are lighter in a way that makes you feel full but notweighed down. The stew has a dazzling mushroom curry base, with summer fresh produce like baby bok choy, chickpeas, perfectlyfirm okra and grape tomatoes, heartily cut. This dining room is BYOB, and the crisp Sauvignon Blanc we brought pairedbeautifully with our vegan spread. Garden dining seats larger parties (safely). Ital Kitchen is the height of Brooklyn diningexperiences because it provides every joy that sharing a meal is supposed to give! Will def bring more friends back. # Read more
The backyard is absolutely beautiful. They take lots of extra steps to make sure that everything is super clean and spacious.... The ital stew is absolutely delicious and I always order the kale salad every time I go. All the ingredients are super fresh andi can def taste the love in every bite. Don?t forget the baked plantains and the burger is a MUST. This place is a solid gem.Will keep going back. Read more
Michael (the owner) is the NICEST. Lovely eclectic decor, lots of seating for a small place. Food was uniformly great: tender,... moist, well-seasoned. The veggie jerk chicken was particularly awesome! Also, don?t miss the ?Yes I? smoothie. Read more
Unbelievably amazing vegan food that everyone should try. The only non-vegan dish is the salmon. The cook learned at Le Cordon... Blea, and you can tell. Such wonderful approach to cooking. The place itself is sweet and cozy, and you can see the kitchen.Recommend!! Read more
