IMANI
OUR KITCHEN|YOUR KITCHEN
Typical offerings involve daily market specials, jerk spices and comfort food. We aspire to become a favorite of the Fort Greene community, a locally-sourced restaurant where our fresh ingredients speak for themselves, and the brownstone atmosphere is familiar.
All told, at the heart of Imani is the notion that food can transport you; that the right combination of attentive service, quaint décor, and inspired cooking can create a uniquely joyous experience and memories to last a lifetime. In all facets, we consider Imani Home, and believe you will too.
