Charles' Kitchen - Glen Allen

This place is amazing. I?m honestly speechless from start to finish. I can hear and smell the salt spray off my old Beneteau as we round Pigeon Point headed for a wedding in Martinique with these exact flavours on the menu. So many memories flooding back I can?t tell if my tears are from the hot pepper sauce or not. All of you locals must come here, I know I?ll be back whilst I?m here for sure. Charles is fantastic!

I usually always get the large ox tails with cabbage and plantains which have been really good. Unfortunately they were super skimp on the plantains, as you can see there are only 3 small plantains and my cabbage was severely undercooked.

I ordered the Curry chicken with coconut rice and cabbage carrots. The portion looked amazing but the taste was very bland. The chicken was perfectly cooked and tender but lacked spice and seasoning. The rice was undercooked and hard. My cabbage and carrots were disappointing, with no flavor and a bit overcooked to my liking. I don't think that my food had enough gravy to help with the dryness of the rice and veg. I would say a little overpriced for the quality that was

Now Charles and his Kitchen knows they are deaddddd wrong for sending this out of their establishment. This is the WORST curry chicken I have ever had. I wish I could give this place 0 stars but I had to do 1 minimum. I?m not sure if they were closing or what but the chicken is bone dry with no sauce and the cabbage is extremely hard and undercooked as well as the Mac and cheese Lord. There is no cheese in this Mac and cheese and also no flavor. It tastes like it absorbed

I got the veg plate with coconut rice, red beans, plantains, and the banana bread cake. I absolutely love that they have vegan and vegetarian options that are clearly marked on the menu. I can?t wait to try more. Everything was delicious, healthy, and great portions.
