Karyi Kitchens Brings Bold Nigerian Flavors to New Orleans
New Orleans just got a fresh taste of West Africa with the opening of Karyi Kitchens, a new Nigerian food spot on Charles Ave, tucked inside the food court near the Hampton Inn. Bringing bold, authentic flavors straight from Nigeria, this place is already making waves with its expertly smoked meats, flavorful rice dishes, and irresistible fried treats.
The smoked chicken is an absolute standout—juicy, rich, and packed with that deep, smoky essence that lingers just right. Pair it with Julio’s rice, a well-seasoned, flavor-packed side that complements every bite. The grains are cooked to perfection, soaking up all the delicious spices for a dish that feels both hearty and comforting.
For a quick snack or a sweet finish, don’t miss the Puff-Puff—golden, fluffy, and just the right amount of sweetness. It’s light, airy, and seriously addictive.
Whether you’re a longtime fan of Nigerian cuisine or trying it for the first time, Karyi Kitchens is bringing something special to the NOLA food scene. Bold flavors, expertly cooked dishes, and a casual, welcoming vibe—it’s definitely worth a stop!
