About Kizin Creole Restaurant

Kizin Creole Restaurant offers authentic and flavorful Creole cuisine, suitable for various dietary preferences. Standout dishes include the Diri Djondjon, steamed vegetables, Griyo, and chicken stew. The Griyo, a fried pork dish, and the chicken stew are particularly noteworthy for their succulent meat and rich flavors. Customers often praise the fried goat and Griyo, which is braised and then fried pork belly, known for its tender and crispy texture. The mac and cheese, reminiscent of Trinidadian Macaroni Pie, is baked with a mild pepper flavor, though some find it could be improved. The restaurant also features popular sides like Bannann Peze (fried plantain) and Marinad (fried spiced fritters), which are flavorful and so good that diners frequently order seconds. The rice and beans complement the dishes well, while pikliz (spicy coleslaw) adds a sharp, vinegary spice. The Turkey Creole Stew is hearty and full of flavor, with generous portions of turkey. To drink, the passion fruit beverage offers a sweet, refreshing contrast. The service is friendly and attentive, with Chef Patricia often explaining the dishes and making guests feel welcomed. Located in Evanston or Skokie, or visiting Chicago, this restaurant is a must-visit for an authentic taste of Creole culture and a memorable dining experience.
