We hosted my daughter's baby shower here at My Kitchen/Tourmaline and couldn't have asked for a better experience in this beautiful space. The food was delicious, staff was lovely and Rebecca, the owner, was amazing to work with. She was so lovely from party planning through to the actual event. I wholeheartedly recommend this wonderful venue. read more

We celebrated our October 2024 wedding at My Kitchen, and they exceeded all our expectations! My Kitchen offers both indoor and outdoor spaces, making it perfect for any season. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff was incredibly attentive. The owners, Rebecca and Yvan, and their team were so helpful and accommodating from start to finish. It can be hard to choose the perfect wedding venue and at first, we weren't sure what to expect. But after our tour, we knew this was the place for us. The outdoor patio area was intimate, warm, and beautiful! We rented space heaters in case, but we didn't end up needing a tent - though My Kitchen can rent a tent if needed. We had the reception outside, with string lights hanging above. It created such a magical atmosphere as the sun set, and the lights added the perfect touch. We had about 40 guests and there was definitely enough space for all of us. Even though parking was limited, guests were able to easily find street parking in the surrounding residential area even on a Saturday night. Overall, we highly recommend this venue - beautiful space, exceptional professionals, and amazing service! read more

We hosted a birthday party for our father for about 30 guests at My Kitchen in September and it was a great success! From start to finish Rebecca and her team were extremely professional, reliable and personable, answering all our questions, returning emails in a timely manner and getting all the details right. Special thanks to Luz and Chef as well! We appreciated their willingness to make minor modifications to the menu to suit the dietary needs of our father and guests. The food was delicious and the servers were attentive and lovely. Everything looked beautiful and the event ran smoothly. We wish you continued success and again, thank you for your help and job well done! read more

From the first day I met Rebecca until the day of my grandmothers party she was a pleasure to work with. Her and her staff was so good to me and my party from start to finish. The food was excellent, her husband is a great chef. The entire party area was set up so nice from the table to the chairs. I really thank and appreciate her and will make sure to refer people to her and also have my own gathering there again. read more

We hosted our baby shower at My Kitchen this past Spring and could not have asked for a better experience. Their on-site coordinator was incredibly helpful and accommodating throughout the entire process to bring our event to life. She answered all of our questions in a timely manner via email and during our in-person visit as well. She was also very fair in helping us negotiate minor menu changes and space allocations so the event was totally customized to our needs. The day of the party the staff was available to help in setting up our decor, which was a huge relief. They were all also very attentive to our guests, ensuring they were welcomed warmly and had a drink upon arrival. We opted for a family-style brunch and everyone raved about the food. It was absolutely delicious and abundant. Even the freshly baked pastries were incredible. Throughout the event, the coordinator and owner checked in with my frequently to ask if I needed anything which was such a nice touch. We were so happy to our decision to support this wonderful local business and would highly recommend them! read more

On October 1, 2024 we had a networking event at My Kitchen for about 60 people. It could not have gone better from start to finish. Rebecca Sussman is the owner and is just amazing to work with. Her input on what to serve and her and her staff's hospitality that evening were fantastic. The space was redone a few months ago and looks great. The food was delicious and plentiful. Everyone was impressed and glad they discovered a hidden gem in Queens.. but I suspect everyone will know about them soon. We will definitely be back to do another event. One of the guests said they had their daughter's baby shower there and they loved the place. read more

We had my friend's bridal shower here in November and the service was impeccable. Each table was attended too non-stop throughout the shower and the food provided was so delicious and delightfully crafted! The ambiance itself was so lovely. read more

I have owned and operated a mobile DJ company since the early 1990s, and have done over 4000 events. I must say that My Kitchen is by far one of the most wonderful venues I have ever worked in. From the hands-on approach by husband & wife/new owners Rebecca & Yvan regarding the planning, scheduling & welcoming to the most delicious and creative appetizers and main course prepared by Yvan himself, it was just a pleasure & a stress free & classy experience. The staff was completely on point as well. Very impressed! I highly recommend you have your special event here. read more

The atmosphere is very nice and rustic.However. The food was just absolutely not forgiving. Say no more... as a salad they serves plum tomatoes... whole tomatoes with salt pepper and oregano. read more

Came here with my family after we caught a movie at the theater next to My Kitchen and it was truly a delight. The restaurant is an Italian Caribbean fusion which is something I never knew existed before but I am so glad we stumbled upon this restaurant. Italian and Caribbean food are two of my favorites so this restaurant is a dream. On this night I ordered the curried lamb ragu with papparadelle pasta topped with a dollop of lime yogurt. Wow...wow...wow...one of the best pasta dishes I've ever tried in my life. The lamb was very tender and flavorful, pasta was cooked al dente and the curry flavor was so delicious. I could eat this every day if I could. The restaurant is family owned and the owners are so sweet. I will definitely be coming back and making this a regular neighborhood spot! read more

My Kitchen catered a 50th anniversary /90th birthday celebration for my sister and brother-in-law and we were just delighted with the event. Rebecca and her husband were easy to work with during the planning of this event and the event itself couldn't be better. The food was delicious and imaginatively presented( the salad came enclosed in a fence of zucchini strips!). The staff was friendly and accommodating and everyone had a wonderful time!

I had the pleasure of working with Rebecca and Yvan on a memorial lunch for my father. It was sensitive for my family and Rebecca was amazingly supportive during this difficult time. The planning process was simple and clear. The menu options were awesome. The food was SO GOOD. The service was on-point. The ambience was classy and warm with beautiful decor. JUST WONDERFUL! Thank you for making our sorrow a little less painful. Our experience was amazing and I wholeheartedly recommend My Kitchen for any of your events. read more

I had a fantastic experience having my baby shower at MyKitchen. The venue is nice especially the outdoor patio area. Food was great, my party raved about the shrimp and grits and fish taco apps. Rebecca was very easy to work with and so accommodating. When my shower had to be rescheduled due to Covid she was so gracious and understanding. During the shower she was very hands on and helped make sure everything ran smoothly. When my cake didn't arrive she went out of her way to get a ice cream cake from down the street so my shower could be complete She and the rest of her staff were lovely and hardworking I had a great time and couldn't have asked for a better venue. read more

Dhanny is a beautiful blessing ! When my venue fell through due to the lack of any communication during COVID I was literally in a panic ! I came across my kitchen and spoke with Dhanny who is the sweetest with a genuine heart of gold she took all the weight off my shoulders and her and her husband chef made our night amazing we are so grateful. If you are considering this place you will not be disappointed. read more

My Kitchen catered my family's Thanksgiving feast and everything was perfect. Communication was prompt and courteous. We picked up the food at our scheduled time slot and it was warm and DELICIOUS. Price was reasonable given the high quality ingredients. No cutting corners here. Thank you so much My Kitchen! read more

Love My Kitchen. Shank and chef are both amazing and extremely hard working. We've loved their restaurant since we found it for our small yet quite adorable and so perfect for us wedding. We've since had V-day and many other meals there. Love these guys. Love the food. And love the restaurant!!! read more

My family and friends threw me the most beautiful bridal shower at their venue. It was outdoors in their backyard and the decorations coupled with the gorgeous greenery was like a dream!! They have incredible service, the food was delicious and a variety of it just kept coming! Everyone had the most amazing time and I would absolutely 100% recommend this place to anyone wanting to celebrate a special day. Rebecca and Yvan along with her attentive and kind staff were phenomenal. I hope someone I know has an event here so I can go back again soon haha. read more

My friends threw me my bridal shower back here and the staff was great in terms of providing decorations and the dessert table had a great selection of sweets! I love the whimsical vibes here. Apparently weddings can be held in the back as well, so overall it is a great spot for events! read more

My son recently got married at My Kitchen and I must say that the experience was exceptional. I had accompanied my son and future daughter in law several times to visit the site and discuss various options. From the get go, I felt that Rebecca was very accommodating and professional during this process. We were given various food options and ultimately all of those chosen turned out to be very good and the attendees appeared to agree! Kudos to Yvan and his staff for having everything appear so seamless. The wait staff was very attentive and actually came and took drink orders at the table despite us having an open bar with self service. The bartenders were quick to handle several of us popping up at the bar at the same time. The outdoor area where the ceremony was held as well as the reception before the sit down meal was lovely. It was shaded with gorgeous trees and we were lucky to have had beautiful weather. The indoor area was decorated in a warm and welcoming way and once the meal was over and the music got rockin', the dance floor became the focal point! I would highly recommend My Kitchen as a venue for any occasion! read more

Great food, service and atmosphere. We had a wonderful engagement party at My Kitchen.

Great place for a baby shower. We had about 50 guests including kids. Very easy to work with and everyone liked the food! The room has a lot of nice natural light during the day and the table set-up is simple, yet perfect for customizing :) read more

Great venue. This is the place for a rain or shine event. Great food, because this is the highlight of the party. If you have good food in your party, guests will never forget it. Great owner, Dhanny and staff. Very accommodating and makes sure all your questions are answered. First time I saw this place, no hesitance, this is it. The one that I'm looking for. Looks small in the picture but the space is huge in person. They have a very nice backyard but unfortunately it's a rainy day on my event, but still worked out perfectly. Thank you My Kitchen! read more

Under new ownership of Rebecca and Yvan we had the pleasure of hosting two separate events 3 weeks apart from each other. We had a "wine and tapas" cocktail hour(3) baby shower for our daughter. Due to the weather we had the event indoors in the room with the open kitchen and bar to make it more informal. We staged everything beautifully with the guidance of Rebecca. The hor d'oeuvre's we selected where throughly delicious according to the feedback from the guests. I was busy hosting so did not try many of them and not because there was not enough it was plentiful just was too busy talking :-) Kobe beef sliders; crispy chicken sandwiches; tuna tostadas; street corn; chicken empanadas; ricotta toast; brie phyllo wrapped and another that I can't remember were absolutely fabulous. I would definitely recommend and will host events in the future there again. read more

MyKitchen deserves 10 stars. I began booking my wedding June 2016 and Dhanny helped plan it all in two months. She always answered all my questions when I needed her. I booked the CITY HALL PACKAGE, which included hors d'oeuvre, appetizer, main entree, wedding cake, unlimited beverages, and chair covers with ribbons, all for $50 per person. This package also included tax and gratuities. It cannot get any better than this. Chef Joe's food is amazing, with all the love and care he puts into his passion. It is cooked fresh and on the spot, with lots of flavors. They both make you feel like you are family and I'm so happy I had my wedding at My Kitchen. My guests were all impressed with the decor and of course the hospitality of the owners and the staff. They also have a surround sound system, in which you can connect a device to play music. I will definitely be recommending them to all my family and friends. If anyone is looking to have a dinner after getting married at the courthouse this is the place you want to go to. It is intimate and your family and friends will appreciate it all. They also have a backyard garden space which can be use to hold a ceremony and other events. Thank You Dhanny & Joe :) read more

Thanksgiving catered a few years ago. We were delighted with food and love the owner. Plan to cater again this year. So grateful we don't have to do it all ourselves read more

I want to thank Dhanny for accommodating us and catered our daughter 1st Birthday. I called a week before and see if were able have their food cater for the party. Dhanny answered the phone and said she was able to do it. I know it was a tight schedule but was so glad and happy. I ordered beef lasagna, Chicken Cutlet Parmesan, Honey chicken wings, Southern fried chicken, eggplant Parmesan and Assorted Vegetable Saute. Day of the party, the food was ready to go. We were running late to pick up because of traffic coming from the Bronx. I called to let Dhanny that we were running late to pick up and she was understanding. The food was still hot. It was a hit and was delicious. Everyone loved the chicken Parmesan and honey wings. I loved everything. Thank you Dhanny and your Staff for accommodating us! My husband and I appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts. read more

The city hall Package!!! Amazing team! I was looking for a very intimate setting for our wedding. Originally I only wanted to have a large dinner after City Hall but when I heard about their City Hall Package I was amazed! I was able to exchange my vows and have my entire family together in one beautiful space. It was during the week so the prices were super in expensive and Dhanny the owner helped me plan every detail down to the music that was playing when I walked out. The food was great and the service was amazing! The City Hall Package is perfect for the couple who doesn't want to break the bank but they still want to have a memorable beautiful time with their loved ones. This location and team is everything! read more

I had my baby shower on May 17th, 2016. I found the venue in a Google search (the results listed it as top 10 baby shower location) and so happy I did. The owner was super attentive from the beginning until the end of the party. The location is well maintained and clean. I love their outdoor space but unfortunately due to rain, couldn't use it. All of my guests loved the space and enjoyed the food. Wait staff was young but helpful and catered to all the guest. If I ever got married, I would definitely consider renting the space again for a wedding reception. Thank Dhanny and crew for a wonderful experience! read more

Rebecca and team are absolutely fantastic. Food, service, and ambience were all terrific. Felt totally safe.

During and after our wedding, our guests kept saying how perfect everything was. That was due in large part to Dhanny, Chef Joe, and My Kitchen. From the first inquiry email to the last goodbye on our wedding day, Dhanny was a breeze and a pleasure to work with as the event coordinator. She knows weddings, and she knows how to guide brides through the process. Dhanny provided us with many helpful ideas and good common-sense advice. She also made sure that everyone and everything moved along smoothly for the ceremony and reception. The space is beautifully kept and perfect for a more intimate wedding or event. It is decorated in a clean neutral way that would work with almost any style, and it does not need a lot of extra decoration to make it pretty. All we really had to bring in were centerpieces/table accents. The reception package included chair covers and sashes as well as table runners. We had our ceremony in the lovely backyard on a chilly but sunny day in March. Cocktails and dinner were inside, and our guests felt cozy and comfortable. Chef Joe's hors d'oeuvres and dinner were a hit with the crowd. The servers were patient and professional. As I hope is obvious at this point in the review, we highly recommend My Kitchen to any couple planning a wedding! Thanks, Dhanny and Chef Joe, for helping us have a great start to our life together! read more

@MyKitchenNY I don't get your business model. Why would you say on @Facebook that you're open for takeout every night but yet we call and you say "not tonight"?Trying to help local businesses but dealing with @MyKitchenNY has been disappointing. read more

We recently had our wedding at My Kitchen on 03/09/2018. The wedding went perfect, it really went above anything we would've imagined. Dhanny, the event manager was amicable and helpful on our special day. From the moment we walked in to see the venue we feel in love and knew I could trust Dhanny with this important day. Her husband, Joe who is also the chef at My Kitchen was welcoming and made us feel comfortable. Dhanny was in constant communication with us in the 3 months that we planned it and helped us along the way with recommendations and ideas to make the night fit our personalities. Any time I had a question, I emailed/called and got a reply quickly. It was our first place we went to look at and we knew right there talking to Dhanny that this would be the place to celebrate with our family and friends. The room was bigger than expected we had a total of 62 guest, not including the vendors (Caricaturist/DJ/Buffet style) and everyone felt comfortable. We brought in our décor in the day before (center pieces, welcome sign, seating chart, seating name cards, card box, signs.. etc, It was alot) and the day of, everything was put together perfectly. We got appetizers for the guest for the 30-45 minutes until we arrived and by the time we arrived there was barley anything left, everyone loved it. We had buffet style serving, the food was ready, hot and tasted amazing! I received only great commentary from all the guest on how great the food was and how beautiful and together our wedding was. I can't thank Dhanny, her team, My Kitchen for supporting/helping/allowing us to have this day that we will cherish forever. A+++ read more

My husband and I just had our wedding at My Kitchen on 5/12/18. Dhanny and Chef Joe are amazing! From the moment I met Dhanny I knew I was in the right place and in the best hands. There was not a moment of stress or struggle for the venue or food as Dhanny and Joe had everything covered. I knew ibwouls not forget anything or leave anything out as Danny's checklist far exceeded mine. She even remembered things I didn't think of! I would have never been the stress free bride I was without her! All of my guests had an outstanding time and are raving over the food and stupendous service they received. Thank you to Dhanny and Chef Joe for making our dream wedding come true!!!!! read more

When I found My Kitchen, I was already jaded due to the cancellation of the previous venue, four weeks before our wedding. Dhanny is the sweetest. She and her team made our day absolutely incredible. Calming all of my nerves and not having us lift a finger. The staff is professional and kind, and the food is out of this world! All of my 15 in-person guests had an amazing time and felt especially safe as My Kitchen follows strict COVID 19 Guidelines. Even having the option of entertaining my guests on Zoom wasn't an issue. From set up to clean up, they did it all. I will absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for an event venue! read more

When I first found my kitchen, it was because my husband and I were looking for something affordable and close to home. When we walked in and got to meet Dhanny and joe, it was a done deal. We felt how genuine they both were in making our day exactly that, OURS. Not only did we find what we want, everything was exceptional and above expectations. I was planning a wedding on my own and I couldn't have asked for anyone better to have my back. Dhanny had all the answers and was super supportive for what my vision was. The day of or August wedding, I walked in and was left breathless. She had done an amazing job with the decor. The severs were attentive (I never didn't have a drink in hand), food was delicious, and the weather was perfect for my outdoor ceremony. I literally didn't have to worry about anything! I highly recommend my kitchen for any of your events as well as for a dinner date night! LOVE YOU GUYS! read more

My wedding was on 4/22,/2017, and it was a dream come true. I will always remember the first day my Husband and I walked into My Kitchen in May of 2016. We were looking for a wedding venue that felt warm; too many venues had a cold feel to us. We have even been to weddings receptions that felt generic and impersonal. We walked in and loved the look; then we met Dhanny. She has to be one of the most caring people I have ever met. She greeted us with love, even though we had just met. She gave us a rundown of what to expect when venue shopping. We were right at the beginning stages, and she wanted us to be prepared. She never tried to sell us. She stepped away for a moment and my then fiance and I looked at each other and agreed right away, this was the place. Either way, we continued to shop around (as Dhanny also advised)! Looking at other venues only confirmed that My Kitchen was the way to go. My Husband and I had said, if we had a house, that's where we'd want to host a wedding. The best way to describe My Kitchen, is an extension of your own home. Almost a year of planning and Dhanny helped us every step of the way. She offered advice, tips, words of encouragement, and lots of hugs! Now I can't fail to mention that after booking the venue, we had dinner their twice. The food was unbelievable! We were tempted to have many more dinners there, but forced ourselves to refrain until after the wedding. Our wedding was last Saturday. It was a dream come true. Each moment was perfect and we were well taken care of. I never looked at the time, or had to worry about the vendors, or if everything was going as planned. Dhanny had it covered. Not only was the decor exactly what we wanted, she made sure the flow of the wedding was seamless. Dhanny made sure we were fed, Dhanny made sure we were happy, had drinks, and were smiling. Dhanny feels like a member of our family. I simply do not have words to describe how magical our special day was. Thanks Dhanny & Chef! read more

Thanks for keeping your appointment today! Made appointment to meet to discuss booking a bridal shower. NO SHOW by owner. When contacted respond 45 minutes after appointment time and had numerous excuses, running late, stuck in traffic, etc. Very unprofessional. Wouldn't trust this venue at all for an event. Awful and I wouldn't book anything here! read more

I found this place while looking for a location to have a Celebration of Life for my dad. We wanted to have it in Forest Hills because he grew up there. Dhanny was very helpful and helped us provide exactly the experience we wanted. The location was convenient, the space was bright and a perfect size for our group of about 50 people to mingle. We asked for finger food so people could eat and talk and wander around. The selection of appetizers was perfect. Everything was tasty and well served. The service was great, with two waiters serving drinks, nobody was wanting. I appreciate the skill and experience provided by Dhanny, Joe, and their courteous staff. I would recommend this place highly. read more
