Nita's Gumbo

Creole restaurant · Avalon Park

"Gumbo is an essential component of any good Cajun meal and Nita’s version is the real deal. It’s a zesty stew loaded with popcorn shrimp, scallops, crab meat, chicken, and Andouille sausage with a perfect amount of spice. Even better, the takeout-only restaurant tosses whole chicken wings in the savory roux to make tasty gumbo wings." - Naomi Waxman, Eater Staff, Ashok Selvam
