Lovely place with funky decor, great food and great service! The coffee and cuban sandwich were delicious and can't wait to try other dishes when I'm in the area.
Decided to get some lunch at Sweet Mother’s Kitchen (SMK) after seeing the good reviews on Google and Zomato.
Hush Puppies 🤫🐶 $11
Both I and my mate enjoyed the starter. Each hush puppy was cooked just right without too much oil and the cornmeal inside was not dry. The sauces went well with the dish, there was a good balance of sweet and spicy 🌶 taste to it.
Send It! Jerk Chicken 🐓 $25
I personally did not enjoy the dish. The red beans and rice were too dry, which made it difficult for me to finish. The chicken was cooked okay, but I felt a very strong taste of rum in the marinade.
Peanut Butter Pie 🥧🥜 $8.50
I really loved 💖 the peanut butter pie a lot. I could tell that the cream and pie were fresh and homemade. The chocolate base was not crumbly, but it was soft enough to easily cut through. The filling had a soft texture, and I could instantly taste the peanut butter flavor. Simply delicious😋
Ambiance and Final Words
The restaurant has a compact and laid-back vibe, with lots of different knick-knacks to see. Service was friendly, but we did have to wait 25-30 minutes for our dishes to arrive. Which is fair enough as the place was fairly packed with lots of customers wanting brunch/lunch at the time.
Overall, I would give SMK a go if you are in the CBD area and also if you love comfort food or want a casual outing (friends or solo). I heard that their chicken in a basket with curly fries 🍗 🧺 🍟 are a hot seller 🔥
The service was good. The food was great (recommend the tacos). The price of food was amazing. You do not have to book for this place - just turn up. We will go again.
