Instant Potatoes and Frozen Food

by Justicepsych

The atmosphere, music and service were great. The food was horrible. Everything was frozen - my cornish hen even had a distinct aftertaste of freezer burn. My boyfriend's duck was super tough. The flavor was boring. It was disappointing especially since the atmosphere was so warm and fun and the staff was so welcoming...The rest of the reviews on this site must have been from a better time in this restaurant's history.

• Pros: Atmosphere and Service
• Cons: Food tastes like it was bought at Costco

Amazing food and service.

Complements to the chef, brining great flavor and spice to Clinton Hill. Good pricing and pleasant atmosphere and staff make Kush a keeper.

Fun place in an "emerging" neighborhood

by thels

After high rent exiled us from Ft. Greene and the fantastic restaurants on DeKalb, we tried Kush in our new neighborhood. We like to think of it as a diamond in the rough. The neighborhood is still under major construction and the look from outside isn't that inviting. The interior is warm and cozy once you get through the front door. The friendly staff made good recommendations and the leisurely service made for a relaxing dinner. We've also eaten in the garden which was very nicely done up and I'd recommend it if weather permits.

The meal begins with their homemade dipping oil and bread. The oil is great. The bread is a bit plain but servicable.

On our first trip to Kush, we had fish entrees. My wife had the salmon which was excellent and I had the whole fish which was outstanding. The presentation was well done and both meals had a ton of flavor and personality. We could taste the different influences and both meals came together very harmoniously.

I am not going to try to stack Kush up against Manhattan or say that it is the "best." What Kush does is introduce a great space, excellent and interesting food and friendly hospitality into a neighborhood that is on its way up. If you find yourself hungry and looking for great food in this corner of Brooklyn, it is a great place for a leisurely meal (read as: Not super speedy service) and the prices really can't be beat.

• Pros: Interesting and delicious food, great dipping oil for the bread, cozy ambiance, very reasonable prices.
• Cons: service can be a bit slow, the neighborhood hasn't arrived yet.
