Born and raised in Brooklyn, NY. I was told there isn't an Haitian restaurant in Chicago. Well that's a lie. I found this one. Food was great. Owners were very warm welcoming.
Visited this restaurant during a vacation in Chicago,l with my husband and what an amazing experience! The food was excellent and truly authentic Haitian cuisine. The atmosphere was wonderful, and everyone was so kind and welcoming—from the kids serving us to the lovely lady who owns the restaurant. She even came over, and we had a chance to chat for a little while. It genuinely felt like home. ❤

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, including white rice with black beans and diri djondjon, 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. The passion fruit beverage offers a sweet, refreshing contrast. This restaurant is a favorite spot for many, especially for the delicious and nutritious takeout options enjoyed on picnics with family and friends. The appetizer sampler is a fun start, and the oxtail and goat are praised for being tender and flavorful. Located in Evanston or Skokie, or visiting Chicago, Kizin Creole is a top choice for an authentic taste of Creole culture and a memorable dining experience. The friendly and caring service from the owners and staff makes every visit special.
