I have eaten Caribbean food before but none like this. Its the best. The restaurant beautiful. The food is delicious and the staff is awesome. If your in Henrico I recommend you stop by. Kudos to you and much success!
Had a fantastic meal and the customer service was excellent. They had a bunch of options for me as a vegan and my mother as a carnivore all really focused on the Caribbean flare. The staff were all positive upbeat they really treated you like you were an immediate part of their friends and family. This is the kind of place that you really want to go because you will enjoy it good food good service everything good we will be a many repeat customer. Can't wait to go back with my vegetarian daughter. And when you go I highly highly recommend the guava punch.
Our meals were excellent: oxtails, goat, and curry shrimp. Very well prepared - the goat was fork tender!! Never experienced that before. Sides were all delicious- curried mango, chickpeas, mac and cheese (Caribbean style) black beans, plantains and saulted spinach. We all had the coconut rice - so yummy. Staff is so friendly and chef Charles is charming and really knows his way around the kitchen. Can't wait to go back 😋
Our 4 year old twins love it! Had to share how just yesterday our daughter after a couple of bites turns to me & says "Mommy, this food makes me happy". Then after tearing into two platters of food to put more on her plate lays down in the booth & says "I'm going to rest & go back for more food". Yes, I understand my dear. The food is that tasty.
And, oooh, the tomato & asparagus vegetable platter with mango slaw & coconut rice as sides!!! You know that feeling when your mouth starts to water just thinking of the dish...Chef Charles can make it happen every time! Thank you again & again!
Delicious! I love the island flavor and the plant based/vegan options. Very affordable and good service.
Drove in from out of town and stopped at Charles' Kitchen for lunch. The food was authentic Caribbean cuisine. It was so good! We had oxtails and curry shrimp and mango cole slow. Tasted even better the next day as leftovers! We also got to meet the chef/owner and the staff was wonderful. Highly recommended! Thank you so much for the home cooked meal and hospitality!
Soooo good!
I'm so glad we stopped in!
Roti, chicken, Curry goat, plantains.
Oh! And the beef patties are out of this world!
Go eat there!
So authentic!! The St Lucia herbed chicken was so moist and delicious. Falling off the bone tender. The oxtail bowl was out of this world good. And the whole red snapper was very reminiscent of our trips to BVI. PLUS conversation with Charles and his sweet wife made us feel right at home. A must stop when in Henrico/Richmond area!!!
Food was amazing. Owners were wonderfully welcoming. Did not bat an eye at our ornery toddler and even set us up with coloring book and Mac N Cheese quickly. Will definitely be back... next time we will leave the toddler at home so we can savor the food a bit more.
Awesomeness! Great options for meat eaters and veggie eaters. Well seasoned food. Friendly service. Everyone must try it!
I stopped here for the first time this afternoon and the food was great definitely will be back again
Must go to!!!! All authentic spices everything!!! The food is sooo freaking good!!!!!! And the staff are always so nice!!
Coming from a Caribbean background I can say the food was spot on! Portions were perfect and the price was comparable. Definitely one of my new favorite restaurants!
PS. The healthier options make you feel less guilty about cheating your diet lol
My new favorite resturant! The food is fantastic! Everything is fresh and there's no short cuts in the recipes!! Yum says it all!!
Curry chicken was great. Also had the Island Wings, and there was a sweet and spicy sauce that was banging! Gotta find out what that was.
Absolutely the best. First time eating oxtails. The service was great.
Excellent food, wonderful flavor and excellent Caribbean taste. Yeah Mon.
Amazing food! (I love plantains) I ordered carry out and didn't wait long for my food. I can't wait to go back and try the rest of the menu!
The black beans and coconut rice were on point. Will visit again soon!
Chef Charle and family were amazing I am still eating on this huge piece of banana bread

Great food..... If you work on West Broad or in the area. They also have great lunch specials....
Had the Curry chkn /ricespinach mix, plaintains, Was not disappointed..The food was delicious & the patronage was awesome.. Very nice atmosphere..& the banana bread was slamming also.. ��
This place exceeded my expectations! Everything tasted so fresh! I ordered Ox Tails with coconut rice, cabbage, and plantain. If you want delicious Caribbean food, visit Charles Kitchen. Run don't walk!
So delicious! We came in after the typical lunch time (around 2 pm) so it wasn't crowded at all, but based on the taste, it should be busy all the time!
I got the curry chicken bowl with coconut rice + cabbage/carrots. It was all so delicious! We also split a beef pastry thing... Can't remember the name, and it was amazing as well. The meat was all tender and seasoned to perfection. The cabbage and carrots were the perfect crisp addition for the meat and rice. I managed to finish everything and I will try to make my way back in the future.
Charles was also so nice!
Incredible place in Richmond, delicious delicious meal with so many meat and side options! The sorrel drink was delicious as well, highly highly recommend to anyone who loves good food! Incredibly friendly too, willing to answer any questions and give any food suggestions!
Huge portions and well priced! Highly highly recommend
Never even knew this was here, and we live across the street! We came on a whim, and will be back weekly. The oxtail, curry chicken, curry shrimp, rice, plantains, literally everything was amazing! So glad we popped in! Great to meet you Charles!
My husband took me here and the food was wonderful. Absolutely a hidden gem. The food was fresh. I ordered the curry shrimp and my husband had the salmon and a king fish to go. It was my birthday and they made my experience memorable. I thank you all for a wonderful night ❤️
Delicious food! Friendly staff. Fun environment. Stew Chicken, Oxtail, Red Beans, Mac and Champagne Kola. #Yum
Just had the cabbage and plantain from the VegFest in da ‘Burg. Best I’ve ever had! Plus, friendly staff. Can’t wait to go to the restaurant!
This is for the food truck. Everything was absolutely fresh and delicious! And so much lighter and balanced than a lot of heavy Caribbean food. (And I'm Carribean!) Can't wait to visit the restaurant!
Compliments to the chef! My food was great. I had to try his oxtails and rice. Which he didn't disappoint. It taste very authentic. The restaurant was clean and even though they didnt have central air. They still found a way to keep me cool. You have to stop by and try their lunch specials. With the prices and options, it's worth the trip.
I think my soul has just left my body! Oh my heavens, this food is sooooo goooood! One meal, now I’m an addict. The curry chicken is to die for; coconut rice is perfection; cabbage and carrot slaw will leave you wishing you’d ordered a large portion, and the mango slaw is the most unique blend of flavors I’ve ever experienced with mango. Drop what you’re doing and go order this food!
I got the veg plate with coconut rice, red beans, plantains, and the banana bread cake. I absolutely love that they have vegan and vegetarian options that are clearly marked on the menu.
I can’t wait to try more. Everything was delicious, healthy, and great portions.
Absolutely Delicious! Was looking for a place with vegan options close by while we were in town and Charles' Kitchen hit the spot. The staff was very friendly and helpful as well. Would definitely return for the food and atmosphere.
This place has relocated down the street on Broad St off Cox Rd. I have had friends who love it here but it was never open when I stopped by. Well, I finally tasted the food and it didn't disappoint. I had the coconut garlic shrimp and it was delicious. I can't wait to go back and try some other dishes.
