The ladies were really nice and offered up an amazing stewed chicken that was spiced just like my grandma did it. What the secret was I have no idea but, the food was outstanding.

I just heard of it but you can bet that I this place is really a great choice. The ladies there are just adorable!

I stopped in at Hellshire Cuisine (formerly Gennie's) for takeout recently. They serve up a variety…read moreof meat dinners served with two sides including oxtail, fry chicken, chicken foot soup, curry chicken, fish (Escoveitch & Steam), and curry goat. They also have cake slices for dessert. I ordered a Large Curry Chicken Dinner ($14 plus tax) served with very soft rice & peas and spicy cabbage. There good portion of food was packed into a round foil container and remain hot when I got home. The chicken was chopped up with the bones which was the main peeve of this dish and it took some time to get rid of the bone pieces before eating. I am so used to boneless chicken or chicken on the bone not chopped up. After deboning the chicken, the curry chicken and the sides tasted pretty good,

Chicken was bursting with flavor, very savory and just the right amount of salt, plus the sauce it was bathed in was on point. Rice and beans were great, seasoned lightly and very soft. Not really a fan of cabbage or plantains, so I give those away. I do appreciate the fact the guy behind the counter poured the chicken sauce over the rice, always love sauce over rice.

ORIGIN: Khalliah Murphy (aka Lady K) enjoyed cooking since…read moreshe was a little girl. After completing culinary school, Murphy started a Yonkers-based catering company, and later, in 2016, moved north to open a brick and mortar cafe -- Lady K's Southern Comfort. LOCATION: Lady K's Southern Comfort is located in a small strip mall along Violet Avenue/Route 9G. Ample parking is available. CONCEPT: Lady K's offers quintessential southern comfort food, such as rice with pigeon peas and slow cooked savory collard greens, however tastes of other culinary heritages, such as empanadas, are sprinkled across the menu. Lady K's primarily offers dishes that represent home cooked southern meals -- on site, as take out, or custom catered events. SERVICE: One thing that stands out about Lady K's Southern Comfort is the homey feeling. This extends to the service. During my weekend afternoon visit Khalliah and Shawn Murphy's daughter and son were eagerly helping (Little K and Littlest K). Although customers place their orders at the counter, I was still asked whether I liked what I had chosen. My response brought a proud smile to Little K's face! EXPERIENCE: Plates are available in three sizes, with a protein and two choice of sides. I experienced the small fried chicken with collard greens and macaroni and cheese on the side. Khalliah's family were known for their fried chicken recipe in their Bronx neighborhood, so it comes as no surprise that the chicken was expertly executed -- crisp, non-greasy exterior encasing juicy, moist interior at every bite. Complementing this was the collard greens, in which multiple flavors were married and had just the right amount of vinegary flavor. Next time I will ask for double sides of collard greens -- it's that outstanding! While multiple tables are set up for dining, Lady K's is currently primarily set up for take out. Although photos on Yelp suggest there was plated service in the past, all food is now served in compartmented styrofoam take out containers. This was my only disappointment as I feel household plates and utensils would reflect the homey dishes for those who are looking to dine in. TIPS: Check Lady K's Facebook profile for rare temporary changes in daily hours. Kool Aid is one of the beverage options. I have never seen that before in a menu and I think it's available adds to the homey aspect of the meals prepared at offered at Lady K's Southern Comfort. Kool Aid was a staple in homes in my neighborhood, and the cheerfully colored packets of flavoring powders are rarely found in grocery stores today.

Loved the decor. They have decent size bar which was nice. We were greeted and seated right away. Started with rum punches , freshly prepared and my god were they good.

Would def recommend blue cheese vs ranch as dipping sauce but that's just me For dinner we had the jerk chicken and pernil. Love that they have different rice options, white, rice with peas and Moro. Jerk chicken was flavorful. Spicy! Pernil was good. Tender. I enjoyed it. To finish it off we had the in-house Dominican tres leches cake. Amazing so so good. We did also order a beef pattyto try but had to bring that home, was so full! Can't wait to try it tho. Would highly recommend going. They also offered happy hour specials which was great. Vibes were definitely Caribbean and we were loving it.
