At Chezkatu, the menu captures the soul of traditional Haitian flavors with a tight but powerful selection. The Seasoned Whole Haitian Turkeys are an absolute standout - deeply marinated and slow-roasted to perfection. The skin is golden and crisp, while the meat remains succulent, infused with bold Haitian spices and herbs that speak to a long-standing family tradition. These turkeys are not just holiday fare - they’re a year-round celebration of flavor.
Supporting the star of the show are the must-have condiments. The Epis (16oz) is a fundamental Haitian seasoning blend made from a fresh mix of herbs, garlic, and peppers. It’s incredibly aromatic and serves as the flavor backbone for many Haitian dishes. Whether used in cooking or as a marinade, it adds a depth that’s hard to replicate.
Then there’s the Pikliz (16oz) - a fiery, tangy pickled slaw made with shredded cabbage, carrots, and scotch bonnet peppers. It delivers that sharp kick and crunch that perfectly contrasts the richness of the turkey. Altogether, Chezkatu offers a minimalist yet potent menu, where every item plays a purposeful role in delivering an authentic taste of Haiti.
