Dive into a colorful escape at CZEN Restaurant, where the rhythm of the Caribbean meets the soul of Asia in a seductive whirlwind of flavor & feels. This Flatbush hideaway hums with social buzz while inviting you somewhere far away. Think spice-laden breezes, drool-worthy plates, and aromas that linger long after the last bite.
Grab your $59 pulse (a $131 value) for a 3 Course Dinner For Two that includes 1 Appetizer, 2 Entrees, 1 Dessert, as well as 1 Bottle of Red, White, or Sparkling Wine.
Locally owned and operated by co-owners Al, Netfa Ricketts, and Ron Hall, CZEN is a reflection of lived culture and shared heritage. Drawing from their Jamaican, Haitian, Barbadian, and Guyanese roots, the menu weaves Caribbean warmth with Asian influences, creating a cuisine that feels both familiar and thrillingly new.
As you uncork a bottle of wine, drink in the gorgeous interiors, admiring parasols lining the ceiling and vibrant murals as you devour Mango Habanero Fried Shrimp Bao Buns, followed by mains like succulent Saki Oxtail Ramen Bowl, or Five-Spice Glazed Salmon seared in an orange Thai chili sauce.
For dessert, the Bread Pudding is not to be missed, so let the wine and the vibes flow as you find bliss in every decadent second...
Find yourself in a haven of indulgence at CZEN (short for Caribbean Zen), a Flatbush gem where dinner is served with Caribbean soul and Asian finesse. Locally owned and operated, CZEN draws from Jamaican, Haitian, Barbadian, and Guyanese influences, layered seamlessly with Asian elements, proof that when cultures long intertwined finally meet on one table, something extraordinary unfolds.
History lives in the details here. From the deep legacy of Hakka migration across the Caribbean to the ever-evolving foodways of New York City, CZEN’s fusion is pure genius. This is cuisine that honors interconnectedness, powered by the freshest ingredients, modern technique, and a bold, no-compromise approach to taste.
At the center of it all is Chef Jimmy McFarlane, who has guided the kitchen since CZEN’s debut in February 2020. His menus read like a curated travel journal, allowing guests to island-hop and continent-cross without ever leaving their seats. Each dish is carefully composed, striking a harmony between heat, sweetness, acid, and texture.
And then there’s the vibe. Warm. Electric. Transportive. Amidst lush greenery and colors that pop, every detail is made for curious palates and senses. Tonight, the food becomes a journey...
All selections will be made from the restaurant's full dinner menu.

"Amazing doesn't even begin to describe the food here. The food was so good that my wife and I were talking about it for days. Everything on the menu looked so appealing that we had to order a bit of everything so that we can share. The oxtail sushi roll was absolutely delicious with the oxtail fried dumplings!"
"The food was great, the service even better and I don’t even know how that’s possible! Everyone was wonderful and accommodated our party! The music is also great. Can’t wait to come back."
