Neighborhood Kitchen Medford

Neighborhood Kitchen in Medford is located where an Egyptian restaurant, Baity, resided. I went once, got an upset stomach and that was it.

There is free on-street parking.

They are takeout only and will stay that way.

Ordering window with the staff behind Plexiglas.

I went with an NK Dinner Plate. "Each item is serviced with either Djon Djon or coconut rice, pikliz, and sweet plantains". My choice was the Creole Chicken ($10). Ordered it with Djon Djon rice and got the coconut rice instead. It was a ton of rice that was OK, could use some seasoning. The plantains were actually pleasant. The pikliz was very good and packed a bit of heat. The chicken was very tasty on the outside, but the inside was on the drier side. Creole chicken is supposed to be well seasoned (dried basil, oregano, thyme, marjoram, and minced garlic, etc). This had none of that, and the very thin sauce was bland. Not sure why it took 10 minutes to assemble this. Not sure how much sauce I got to start with, but it leaked out into the paper bag and hence on my floor mat. Should have been packaged in a plastic bag.
