I thought I came over to my family's house to have dinner the way the service was so homely. Even the customers who came in after us I thought were friends with the owner due to the comfortable conversation they were having. Amazing place to have something healthy to eat late in the evening. Intimate, warm, cozy, and full with love and gorgeous plants. Mix max colorful caribbean-style decorated spot. We were going to take it to go, but decided to stay and enjoy the lovely atmosphere. It's not a place for large groups, but a romantic date or hanging out with a couple of friends would be fitting. We can't wait to return and try other dishes on the menu.

This cozy restaurant was like stopping by a family members house for a good home cooked meal. In this case sooooo good. We ordered the Ital Veggie Jerk Chicken and the Thai-Fi Stew. Absolutely delicious, seasoned well, and made with a whole lot of love. Then we ordered the carrot cake. It was so good that we ordered another piece and it was the last piece of cake. We will be back.

One of the best places to go if you want delicious food, amazing ambience and friendly service. The food is healthy and full of flavor and cooked fresh on the spot. It’s my favorite spot for vegan food in NYC by far!

What a hidden gem right by the Brooklyn Museum! Chef Mike prepared a delicious spicy curry and vegan jerk chicken over basmati rice while we soaked up the chill vibes in the gorgeous outdoor garden. Thanks to Lauren for taking good care of us. Can’t wait to come back!

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. #BlackOwnedBusiness

Love the feel of the place, has a home feel but also you feel like you actually stepped into Jamaica on vacation. Food is very good and the chef comes out to chat with you. Good vibes, highly recommend even if you are not vegan 🌱

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 and i 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.

Cooked with love. Full of flavor. Feel good comfort food. Small kitchen so may have to wait for your order—but it’s worth it.

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.

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!!

Food is delicious. It did take long (they already state that on the menu, so I was mentally prepared). It was a fun experience walking through the kitchen.
