| "...Once you find this spot you'll be glad...Chunks of beef and shrimp in the surf-and-turf brochette were tender and the grilled chicken is loaded with
raisins, apricots, toasted nuts and spicy Cajun rice." |

| "WHO NEEDS a house in the Hamptons or an exotic summer vacation when eating at Brooklyn's outdoor dining spots feels like a world tour?...
Africa under the stars in Clinton Hill: Head to the back garden at Kush, opened by chef Samuel Beket from the Ivory Coast, for pan-African cuisine with French influences. Feast on seafood maffé,
an African stew, surrounded by wood carved animals and other faraway touches..." |
-The NY Daily News
|
| "...Best thing on the menu is a tilapia steamed in a banana leaf, for which the Ivory Coast proprietors have coined the term biekossoh. We also loved the
chicken gizzards salad and the mussels marinara, both of which had also been ramped up with African flavorings." |
-The Village Voice
|
| "This deceptively casual Clinton Hill restaurant, painted in bright, warm tones and decorated with pieces of African art, specializes in French-influenced African cuisine that's prepared with a
skillful hand." |
-NY Magazine
|
| "Once you find this spot, you'll be glad you ventured outside familiar territory. When the weather is warm, take a seat in the garden with mismatched tables, kitschy umbrellas,
a cabanalike nook and groovy music." |

| "The laidback atmosphere, the music, the friendly staff all lend to this delightful experience. The chef knows what he is about, and his presentation has a twist of the exotic. The sorrel and ginger drinks are delightful and the chocolate desserts are decadent!" |

| "I love Kush Cafe! Good music, nice wine, and friendly staff that made me feel like a regular after just two visits. Sammy the chef shows such attention to detail--you can tell that a lot of love goes into his food. My friend had the duck with blueberry sauce and I had the Creole Salmon, both were delicious and well-priced." |
