We visited Cheryl’s Global Soul for the second time and it proved that everything deserves a second chance. I won’t go into detail about our first visit, but let’s just say we left thirsty and angry, but full of good food. So this time when we arrived, we weren’t quite sure what to expect but we were pleasantly surprised that we were quickly seated by a delightful host.
We ordered two mixed drinks to start… it was that kind of day. I had a ginger concoction and aaron had a jamaican punch, both of which hit the spot and showed us that this meal was going to be a good one. To begin the meal we ordered Thai Coconut Curry Mussels. A generous portion arrived at our table and we gave them a taste… Yum! For dinner I stuck with the seafood theme and ordered Creole BBQ Jumbo Shrimp with mashed potatoes and wilted greens. Can I tell you how amazingly delicious they were? The whole plate was covered with the creamy, spicy creole BBQ that was the perfect dipping sauce for the shrimp and mashed potatoes. The greens were kind of overshadowed by the shrimp and potatoes. Aaron ordered one of their nightly specials, a 1-inch thick pork chop topped with mango chutney with a side of roasted potatoes and french green beans. It kind of makes my mouth water just writing it. He made a really good choice. The mango chutney added a nice, fresh flavor to the juicy pork. The potatoes and green beans were a nice pairing as well. The portions for both meals were really big… we both ended up taking food home because we couldn’t bear leaving any of it behind.
The location is a little out of the way, but it’s pretty close to the Brooklyn Museum and the Botanic Garden. We’ll definitely be heading back that way soon.
