At Black Garlic, we fuse rich, international flavors with the heat of tradition. Rooted in the culinary landscapes of Ethiopia and the Caribbean, we craft bold and complex dishes that honor time, patience, and the spirit of culture.
From our kitchen to your tastebuds, every meal is an experience—a celebration of spice, story, and good company. Whether you’re joining us for dinner or taking the flavors home, we invite you to taste our legacy.
Join us at the crossroads of culture and cuisine, where each dish tells a story.
Black Garlic is more than just a restaurant—it’s a love letter to ancestry. A gathering space for community. A new chapter in the story of homeland cooking.
Rooted in the rich culinary traditions of Ethiopia and the Caribbean, we create dishes that are a tribute to both our heritage and our future. From the warmth of berbers to the fire of jerk, we bring together the vibrant flavors of two cultures united by spice, story, and strength.
Our name is a reflection of transformation. Just as black garlic undergoes a slow fermentation process to bring out its deep, rich flavors, we carefully craft each dish with time, intention, and innovation.

I will definitely return.Posted on Dallas HesselTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My first time going after relocating across the street. Of course the food is delicious! The mussels were absolutely massive. I couldn’t get enough of the shrimp, and the beef tibs as the main course capped the meal off just right. Yes the food is fantastic, but holy moly, the service was out of this world! Everyone was so attentive, wildly friendly, and really set the mood the moment we walked in. I can’t wait to eat here again.Posted on Gary KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We really enjoyed the place. We ate from the Caribbean Menu, and we will try the Ethiopian Menu next time. It is a little on the pricey side, so just know that going in. Excellent place.Posted on Lucas ルーカスTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is a nice little resteraunt in KC serving traditional Ethiopian and Caribbean dishes. The waitress was very kind and brought the food out nice and quick. The food itself was delicious. The atmosphere was amazing, with a cool themed building and a not busy, quiet interior. I sure will be coming back here next time I'm in KC!
