| - Food: Conflict Kitchen rotates what they serve approximately every 6 months. They offer 3-4 choices from the cuisine of a country the Unite States is or was in military conflict with. Past countries have been Afghanistan and Iran, and the current cuisine is Venezuela. They currently offer three arepas, which are like sandwiches where the "bread" is made of corncake and it is stuffed with goodis. The choices are chicken with avocado, a black bean mixture (vegan), and queso (vegetarian). We got the black bean and queso versions. Both were stuffed full making the arepa about the size of a small hamburger. We split 3 between the two of us, and it was enough to fill us up for lunch. One may not be quite enough. The queso version was bland, its just cheese on bread. It could definitely use something else (I put hot sauce on it at home). The black bean arepa was much better. It had more ingredients and much more flavor.
Price: The arepas are $5 each. We also got 2 bottled sodas which were $3 each. Our total came to $21, which wasn't bad, but considering how much food you get, the price is a little steep for lunch.
Drinks: They offer bottled water and other drinks like unique sodas. We got "Jamaica's Finest" ginger beers, and they were the most potent and delicious ginger beers we had ever tried. I'm guessing you can get these at other places too, but we hadn't seen them before.
Atmosphere: It is located on Baum Blvd. near its intersection with Highland Ave. next to the Waffle Shop. Its just a window. You order the food, wait about 10 minutes for them to prepare it (dress warm if its winter), and then take it somewhere to eat.
Service: The girl at the window was very friendly. She explained the food options, she asked us how we found out about them and if we had been there before, she explained the concept and motive of the restaurant, and went into detail about how they decide which cuisine to represent and how they develop the recipes. They also provide you with a small pamphlet that comes with your food that has interviews with citizens from the featured country. It is informative and interesting.
(+): very unique and interesting concept, nice people working there
(-): the food is average to slightly above-average for the price
Would I go back again? I will likely try each cuisine at least once. I probably will not go back for Venezuelan food, but Cuba is supposedly on deck, and if there is a vegetarian option, I will try it. I think it is worth going once to try something new, learn something, and support a creative idea.
