Evelyn's Kitchen

Had another delicious meal at Forage.

Tonight's selections included Mac n cheese (one of the bests I've ever had), salmon, roasted veggies (a new top five favorite), a salad, dulce de leche carrot cake and a chocolate chip cookie is (kinda weird considering it had salt on top of it which I thought was sugar).

There are simply no words to describe the amazing feast presented to us at the Chef's Table at Evelyn's Kitchen. Starting with the drink.. the "Secret" Punch was delicious. Huge chunks of strawberry and basil leaves made this the perfect thirst quencher for a warm Summer night.

Now, for the food.... from the perfectly selected cheese and crackers onto the salad, salmon, shrimp and fillet.. the food was cooked perfectly and the presentation simply stellar.

Concluding the meal was the a selection of the world famous pudgies. I wish I could say I had a favorite, and at this point my favorite is the coconut, but had you had asked me a few months ago I would have said the banana pudding. Everything was just so good I cant pick just one thing I would rave about... hence the reason I am at a loss for words.

You are doing yourself a disservice if you have never stopped in or ordered from Evelyn's kitchen. Although there is no formal seating, there is a chefs table that can be booked in advance and there is always catering and the dependable "to-go" or delivery option. Bottom line, whatever your dietary restrictions Ayala and her crew aim to please and accommodate... so there is NO EXCUSE to miss out on this hidden gem of Harlem.

Please head over to this adorable place - currently they are undergoing renovation because they experienced a fire however, there desserts are still and perhaps even more dangerously delicious. Do not take my advice go by and try the brownies or the pudgies and you will thank me! This I know for sure. Trust me, do it!

Family owned and operated. Most underrated and Soul food Spot in Harlem and probably best in East Harlem. Little to no dine-in so it’s just a take-out spot.

Evelyn's Kitchen has been the best edition to my diet! I order on Seamless about once a week. The food is always delivered quickly. It is so hot and fresh. They don't skimp on portions. It's healthy. I can't recommend them enough!!
