Tucked inside a Fort Greene brownstone, the look hints at the islands (hello, floral wallpaper) blended with city chic (leather booths and exposed brick walls). Casual and welcoming with a new take on Afro-Caribbean cuisine, it’s the sort of place you want to go again and again with friends. Snack on starters like a char-grilled octopus tentacle with jerk gremolata over braised collards tossed with burrata, then move on to main dishes like braised oxtail with roasted rainbow carrots. Sides like spicy-sweet mango chow or tender, fried plantains round out the meal in the very best way.
