The food is absolutely phenomenal. Well seasoned, tasty, cooked to perfection. However I question if it’s worth waiting 30-45 minutes in line for and to pay $30-$40 a plate? That’s way too high even in this economy.
Don’t get me wrong, the portions are massive but I can barely finish half the plate myself. Maybe they need to try smaller plates for a lower cost.

Highly Recommend! Food is the absolute best. If visiting near North Carolina Central University, plan a visit. If in Durham, NC, plan a VISIT. If on the east coast, plan a VISIT!! Menu and hours are posted on their IG @kales_kitchen . The food is great.

Every time I go, the line is wrapped around the building. It is worth the wait though. You always get a generous portion of food...enough to last a couple of days! The taste/flavor is consistently good....always a hit! Once, I got the steak. It was so big, the food container wouldn't close. I also got a double portion of mac n chz. I ate some, shared some, ate some more, and still had a nice portion left. Because I don't believe in feeding trash cans, I froze the rest. Fast forward 2 months, I took it out and heated it and that mac was just as creamy and moist as the day I bought it!!!!
I live in VA, but when I visit Durham I always check their IG page to see if they are selling plates. Kales Kitchen is definitely worth the time and $$$!!!

I've been trying to experience this for a while,and finally did it last night! The line was wrapped around the building 30 minutes before they opened. The food did not disappoint and came out quickly. I did have a little sticker shock, but the quality of the food took care of that. Definitely not an every week spot for me, but maybe once a month as a treat because I like to cook at home.

It was my first time at Kale's Kitchen, and the food didn't disappoint. Nice sized shrimp and fried with good flavor. I never had fried salmon before, but in North Carolina, you will find out we fry anything.
The macaroni and cheese are homemade, and the candied yams are on point. All in all the meal is very good and worth the wait outside. For out-of-town folks, the area looks suspect. It's just good people waiting for good food.
You will not be disappointed.
Check out Kale's Kitchen Instagram page to know when the establishment will be open.

5 star! SEASONED food! I've been here twice! Pop-up shop so you need to have your social media notifications on to know when they open! Bring your phone or a book if you get there early to wait in line. THE WAIT IS WORTH IT!!! The portions are heavy and full and last 2 to 3 meals.
