We recently ate at kallaloo on the recommendation of some friends of ours. I was thrilled to find that the food tasted just like it does in the Caribbean. Folks, this is as authentic as it gets in Seattle. Best fried plantains to be found in Seattle. One of us had the Jerk-rubbed pork chop and couldn't stop talking about it on the way home. The chop was done to perfection, with just the right amount of heat. I recommend the curried crab and dumplings. A silky sauce with lots of crab, both in and out of the shell. Try the dumplings. They are softer than the ones found in traditional home cooking down south, but not as soft as American dumplings. YUM! We had great, friendly service and some fun cocktails, mostly rum/fruit blends.
Pros: Ambience, free parking next door, fun cocktails, authentic food, kid-friendly, space for large groups
Cons: slower service on busy beatwalk friday nights
