The 10 Most Memorable Meals of 2025, According to Chefs and Experts | Bon Appétit
"Chef Paul Carmichael’s Kabawa is a fantastic new addition to the East Village that showcases a menu filled with Caribbean flavors and techniques. The goat with spicy scallop creole and the pepper shrimp with sorrel, Scotch bonnet chile, and thyme were two dishes that really stood out. They have an amazing playlist; it’s part of the restaurant’s story without being too distracting from your meal. Kabawa represents what many of us appreciate about modern fine dining." - ByAndrea Strong
