"Owned and run by Kriss Kofi (with Chef Macka in the kitchen), this plant-forward Caribbean spot showcases fire-based cooking and deeply familiar island flavors: grilled okra skewers, breadfruit roasted over open flame, stewed blueberries, and orange blossom–candied yams appear alongside staples like a beloved stir-fried callaloo with okra and bok choy and a meatless stew peas that still carries the dish’s classic depth. The menu leans heavily on mushrooms (lion’s mane, oyster, portobello) as proteins — Kofi even dubs himself “the Mushroom Don” — and offers texturally convincing crispy ik’n (“chicken”) and jerk preparations. Macka’s vegan macaroni and cheese skips cashews in favor of almond milk for a creamy, lightly spiced result. Rooted in Rastafarian ital principles and community cooking, the restaurant opened at Treelion in December 2022, attracts attention on social media, and emphasizes whole, package-free ingredients while serving the local Caribbean community." - ByDinkinish O'Connor
