Karuba's Yardy Kitchen

Six Caribbean Restaurants to Crawl in Inglewood - Eater LA

"Opened in 2018, Karuba’s Yardy is one of the newer Jamaican destinations in Inglewood, where owner Karuba Smith previously worked at the hot food station at Playa Vista’s Whole Foods. The thing to get here are the patties, possibly some of the best in town, which are balanced with tender crusts and delicious fillings (the beef was sold out but the curry chicken was stellar). The jerk chicken is among the best in Inglewood, with moist, tender meat covered in a dark brown sauce. The plates are polished: Entrees are presented with a cupped mound of rice flecked with peas, evenly browned plantains, and savory leafy vegetables. The oxtails are also righteously cooked to a fall-apart bite. Wash it all down with the grapefruit-flavored Ting soda." - Matthew Kang
