Narda’s Kitchen

Narda's is one of those places that my husband and I debated even writing a review about, because of how amazing it is and we want to protect it😅. The atmosphere is so warm and cozy and as a fellow West Indian, familiar in such a beautiful way- this could be an auntie's home! The service with our waiter Jada was awesome. She was friendly, didn't rush us, and professional. The food was to the point where my husband wasn't convinced that his mother didn't sneak out to cook in the kitchen. Needless to say, this was authentic Jamaican food. We had the chili wings, jerk wings, rice and peas, plantain, oxtail, and fruit cake. I had the guava ginger punch. The complementary bread and beets were so good too! Literally the entire meal was impeccable!

So cozy, amazing Jamaican food that is truly authentic. Layered, complex flavors and balanced spices. The interior is so cozy and made you feel like you are at home. The service was also quite good. We had the wings, jerk chicken, rum cake, and oxtail and all were quite delicious Make sure to try the ginger drink it’s delicious.

Narda’s Kitchen in Bloomfield is an absolute hidden gem. From the moment you walk in, you feel the cozy, welcoming energy that reflects the heart of its owner, Narda, who is not only the sweetest host but also the one preparing every dish with love. We tried the jerk chicken, oxtail, and crab cakes, and each plate was full of flavor and soul—comfort food at its finest with a true Caribbean flair. The food tastes like it’s made in someone’s home kitchen, in the best way possible. It’s a BYOB, which adds to the intimate and relaxed atmosphere. Service is a little slower than at bigger restaurants, but that’s only because the small staff takes the time to prepare everything fresh. Honestly, the pace makes you slow down and savor the experience, which is part of its charm. If you’re looking

What a gem! Chef Narda blew us away — the salmon, crab cakes, pumpkin cardamom soup, and deserts were all amazing. Need to go back soon to try the jerk shrimp risotto, which also looked delicious.

Delicious flavors and the most perfectly tender curry goat I’ve had in a long time. We also enjoyed the shrimp and dumplings dish, the rice and peas, and the yams. We will come back for the flavorful food, the charming atmosphere, and the warm service.
