"A beloved pop-up gone permanent in Dorchester’s Upham’s Corner, Comfort Kitchen has made many waves since its debut in January 2023. It nabbed a five-star review in the Boston Globe, was named one of the New York Times’ 50 best U.S. restaurants of 2023, and was honored on Eater Boston’s 2023 awards list. The restaurant explores the African diaspora and global spice trade routes by way of standout dishes like monkfish in a coconut curry broth, brown butter seared okra with masala-spiced yogurt, and jerk-roasted duck legs. Insider tip: Kyisha Davenport and Danameche Terron’s cocktail program at Comfort Kitchen is second to none. The duo’s daiquiri spin (Dream Street) and take on a martini (the Silver Box) are essential orders with dinner." - Erika Adams
