Readers’ Recommendation: Kream in Brooklyn
One of the best things about starting Jozilicious is that I am now part of a foodie community of sorts. I love sharing my restaurant finds with you, and I’m always keen to try new places. One such place that has come highly recommended by so many of you, is Kream in Brooklyn. I’ve been meaning to go forever but guys, PTA is far. It took us 40 mins to get there but when we arrived we were really glad that we made the effort to go 🙂
Kream is beautiful! It’s massive, but light, modern and trendy at the same time. The high ceilings created a unique ambiance, as did the sculptures and artwork surrounding us. I honestly don’t think anything like Kream exists in Jozi itself. We arrived at 19:00 when the restaurant was rapidly filling up, and by 20:00 it was packed.

Kream has 2 levels, you can see them below. I love that they have 2 private dining areas, for which zero venue hire applies!
This is one of the private rooms- gorgeous |
After soaking up the vibe of the restaurant, we were very excited to try the food. You probably know by now that I am a sucker for carbs. No matter what diet I am on, I can never say no to warm crusty bread placed on the table… especially when it looks like this…
Mmmmm… |
Starter: salmon salad |
Main: Lamb chops |
Cape Malay Chicken and Prawn Curry |
By now, I was completely stuffed but could not resist dessert, especially after I was told that a “triple brownie” was one of the specials for the night.
Dessert: Walnut bread and butter pudding with peanut butter ice cream |
Dessert: Triple chocolate brownie; Ferrero Rocher, Rocky Road and White Choc |
We had a great experience at Kream, and I would definitely recommend it as a “special occasion” kind of place. I’m totes going to host a fab dinner party in one of those private rooms one day!

I have just spent all afternoon reading your blog! Dying to go to New York and reading all your posts on your trip made me feel like I was there now! Wow! So nice reading all the restaurant reviews for restaurants I’ve been dying to try and haven’t got round to it. Now DEF have to try them! I’m a big restaurant lover too, so I can share some of my faves with you 🙂
Going to suggest Kream for my dads b-day! 🙂
Lovely blog!
