"Boston, MA Now Open 2023 is looking to be the year for long-awaited restaurant openings that have been years in the making. Comfort Kitchen was originally slated to join Boston’s growing list of African restaurants in the summer of 2020 (and then got delayed), but hosted plenty of pop-ups that kept folks hyped for their upcoming brick-and-mortar space. Once Comfort Kitchen is fully up and running, they also plan to provide affordable pop-up space to local food entrepreneurs. Comfort Kitchen finally opened in late January with an all-day menu that highlights ingredients and flavors from the African diaspora, with snacks like jerk jackfruit sliders, seared okra with masala spiced yogurt, and mains like za’atar brown butter trout and yassa chicken.
