Soul Food Restaurants near Mt Vernon, NY

“My husband and I were at Broken Bow. I ordered at Ran & Gui's kitchen the last minute. So, I ordered whatever they had left which was the catfish bits, BBQ chicken wings, and chicken tenders. I have had catfish in the past which was flavorless. However, Ran & Gui's catfish bites was so flavorful that I didn't need the tartar sauce to enjoy them. My husband loved their chicken tenders and he mostly ate them without the honey mustard sauce. As far as the BBQ chicken wings, they were like regular BBQ chicken wings. We will definitely come back for the catfish and chicken tenders 😊.“

“I finally came here after years of hearing about this place and trying many different options from places in New Rochelle all the way to Nyack. Although the atmosphere is minimal the food is delicious and plentiful. I felt as if I was picking up plates of soul food from my church ladies with the gospel music playing which I did not mind.

I ordered three dinners we tried the fried chicken, collards, yams and one order of mac and cheese that was a mistake we should have gotten more and order of peach cobbler. As my daughter described it she felt like eating this food was like getting a hug from a grandma! None of the food is overly seasoned which my husband and I prefer but seems to be the common mistake a lot of soul food locations are making.

There is a detour near the location which makes parking a little bit of a challenge however, that will not stop me from returning.“

“Was in Harlem and wanted some good food, this place popped up. We called before going, and was told that there was not a wait. Arrived just 5 minutes later and that was not the case. The host was pleasant, offered us cornbread and water while we waited. Our server was lack luster, she was so busy being busy she completely missed the mark at every opportunity. The food took a while to come out but it was good. Atmosphere comfortable. Would be willing to try again.“

“Hands down best soul food spot in NYC“

I definitely recommend this place!“

“It was Sunday and I always cook for my elderly dad and myself but this Sunday I was not in the mood to be over a hot stove. I went on the internet and saw rave reviews about Kadyah Soul and told myself I would give it a try. I ordered the Turkey Wings for Dad and Jerk Chicken for myself...long story short...It was the best ordered food I ever had and my dad was SUPER pleased and he is hard to please! I am ordering very soon again!“

“Had a great evening enjoying some delicious wings, waffles and conversation with Chef Devin. The wings are perfectly seasoned and not too heavy, but great flavor! The waffle complimented the wings nicely and we’ll be back to try more items and hang out!“

“The food is locally sourced daily. They offer 4/5 delicious entrees with delectable sides. Service was warm & attentive. Can't wait to return!!!“

“The food was SO good! Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and like real homemade soul food. The mac & cheese was made to perfection, the turkey wings were fall-apart tender and flavorful, and the fried fish was crispy and seasoned perfectly. Portions were good and the customer service was good as well. Definitely a hidden gem and worth trying we’ll be back! 10/10 👏🏾“

“Great atmosphere, awesome music, prompt service, friendly staff and outstanding cuisine !!!“

“The hospitality is always on point when I dine there. The food is delicious. A nice small intimate setting. I would definitely recommend this restaurant to others.“

“Unfortunately I haven't had a chance to dine in, but I'm 100% sure my experience would have been just as good as the catering experience we had with thos place. Their management team was super easy to work with. The food was out of this world. I couldn't be happier. Highly recommend it.“

“Yes …. Hunty… the food was delicious. The food cost goes by weight. I bought two white containers. Filled with collard greens, jerk chicken macaroni cheese rice and black eyed peas honey wings fried chicken steamed broccoli, turkey wings, beef ribs oxtails Rasta pasta which had a nice spice to it. The turkey wings was okay a little too much salt to me but was still good. The sorrel was also good as well and the steamed vegetables was also executed well also. No soft vegetables. Macaroni and cheese was good also. No complaints from me. You must put gloves on. Which I love places like this. Definitely a great food place . I’m glad I stopped by as a first timer. I will be back..happy eating“

“Everything on my plate tasted good, and I didn’t get to eat it till it was cold! There was a buffet which I found surprising and they charge by the pound - about $8/lb. The little butterflied fried shrimp tasted the best. Delish… The chicken had a very good flavor- fried and bbq. They have a homemade hot sauce, it has a good flavor, tastes like pepper sauce, meaning habanero/scotch bonnet . Only a little is needed not to overpower.. And it is Hawt!! 🌶️ If you like sweet greens, that’s what they have. I prefer no sweet but they were still good. The only con was, you could see the old glory days that must have been in there. The decor especially in the bathroom is a lil dull grunge unfortunately in need of a little love and maintenance. I would still eat here again though. That’s the only reason they didn’t get a 5

Here is the biggest PRO… a budget tip : If you’re headed to LGA, LaGuardia airport especially with a large family stop here… get your plate instead of the $20 plate at the airport. Large variety of tasty options Good to go“

“The food was excellent. Thank you Earl. I will be back.“

“When I tell y’all Tessey’s International Kitchen food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥. Listen, the food reminded me of home it was so good. Baby if you ever in the Bronx please hit them up.“

“This place is a hidden gem. We were looking for place to make our go to spot. Once my foodie fiance tasted the catfish it was goto spot approved. The service is outstanding as they took very good care of us. The food is very tasty and nicely seasoned. We will be back.“

“My cousin Dana told me about this place! It’s by far the best seafood I’ve tasted. The catfish, whiting and the shrimps were delicious. Now for the COLLARD GREENS! Off the hook. The best green I’ve tasted in years. I’ve been going once a week.“

“we ordered 2 orders of fried catfish, 1 with sweet potatoe fries and 1 with Mac&cheese, and also a side of collards. everything was made FRESH. crispy and delicious fish & fries, super cheesey Mac and the collards we're great! not the first or the last time I will order from here. reasonably priced for fish around here.“
