Brooklyn residents will swear by Buff Patty’s mouthwatering Jamaican patties, curried chicken, jerk beef, and more. The portions are large and generally no more than seven dollars. Three to four tables fill the small space along with a long queue, a testament to the craving-inducing quality of the food, but service is friendly and efficient and the line moves quickly.

Patrons of Five Spot don't necessarily come here to eat the heavy soul food—although the ribs and Po' Boys are quite tasty—they come to groove to the DJ spinning every night of the week. The restaurant keeps a well stocked bar with an entire menu of beachy mixed drinks, making it easy to understand why one customer called it "the happiest place on Earth'' (or at least in Fort Greene).

Brooklyn's Kush Cafe offers special French Pan-African cuisine, an exotic dining experience, and a fine wine bar. This new restaurant located in Clinton Hill will take you on a tasteful journey to parts of Africa without leaving the city.

From the unique artwork, film screenings, live music--from acoustic to DJ--and kind staff, this place is a true original. The inspiring decor--complete with a handle sculpted "Senoufo" bench and a huge statue of an African goddess--is the proper backdrop for unique menu standouts like the lamb shank, the "Pepe soup" with silver fish and the apple and mango galette.
