The spot, the food, and the reaction

Kabawa is a Caribbean restaurant at 8 Extra Place in the East Village. Chef Paul Carmichael runs it with Momofuku. Two videos featured it, one from Bon Appétit and one from Insider Food.

The Bon Appétit video is about the Chuletas Can Can. It is a big bone-in pork chop made for two people. The cook said it earns its spot because it tastes great.

The Insider video shows more of the menu, like goat, black bass, and a coconut turnover. It also notes that Food & Wine named Kabawa the best restaurant in America.

Dinner is a three-course set meal. You pick a starter, a main, and a dessert. There is no takeout, and you book on OpenTable up to 14 days ahead.

If you go because of the videos, get the pork chop and bring a friend to share it. Our score shows how the videos reacted, not a star rating. We have not eaten here.
