Immersive Dining Experiences Celebrate the Senses and Evoke Caribbean Culture
Through visual art, architectural design, lavish cocktails, and sophisticated Caribbean-inspired cuisine, we transform meals into celebrations you’ll want to relive again and again.
Opened just a few months into the COVID lockdowns of 2020, Kokomo was the wildly ambitious dream of Ria and Kevol Graham. Just as they welcomed their second child into the world, they committed fully to the idea of a restaurant that would bring the joys and flavors of the Caribbean to Brooklyn.
Years later, Kokomo continues to transport guests with unforgettable dishes like spicy Koko pasta, Jamaican jerk chicken, lentil meatballs in coconut curry, braised oxtail, sweet plantain pancakes, saltfish avocado toast, innovative flatbreads, and signature cocktails such as tropical rum punch, mango rum punch, Sorrel Mule, Plantini, Sop Thyme, and much more

Caribbean cuisine embodies a rich tapestry of flavors, blending influences from African, Indigenous, European, and Asian culinary traditions. At the heart of Caribbean cuisine lies a deep connection to the land, where ingredients are sourced from lush tropical landscapes and vibrant local markets. From the fertile farms of Jamaica to the bustling marketplaces of Trinidad and Tobago, the journey from farm to fork celebrates the region’s diverse agricultural bounty.
Root vegetables like yams and cassava, tropical fruits such as mangoes and papayas, and an array of spices like allspice, nutmeg, and Scotch bonnet peppers form the foundation of many Caribbean dishes. Whether it’s savory jerk chicken from roadside grills or aromatic curry goat simmered to perfection, Caribbean cuisine reflects the harmony between the land, the people, and the flavors that have evolved over centuries.
Our menu is full of joyful creations, inspired by our founders’ roots and the rich, multicultural history of the Caribbean.
For example, our Wah Gwaan flatbread is made with a traditional New York City brick oven crust, nodding to the community Ria and Kevol grew up in. The tomato confit base pays homage to the Caribbean’s French influence. That’s topped with marinated shrimp and ackee, a national fruit in Jamaica. And there’s no mistaking the Latin influence of the scotch bonnet cilantro sauce.
At Kokomo, every dish has a story for you to discover and experience.

Ambiance is a key ingredient in any great meal. That’s why designer Dara Young of the Aviva Collective filled Kokomo with intimate dining spaces that are both transportive and unmistakably Caribbean.
Our interior design was further enhanced by Peta-Gaye Shoucair of Shoucair Designs, who created several design elements, including the zinc staircase lined with tropical greenery to evoke the feeling of stepping into a rainforest, and the underground Champagne Room, which overflows with the colors of the Caribbean Sea.
Add in lively music, often from a live DJ, and you have an atmosphere you won’t be in a hurry to leave. At Kokomo, you need no passport to embark on a joyful Caribbean journey.
Main Room
In our main room, you'll find our beautifully lit bamboo bar and a grand communal table where families, friends, and strangers dine and celebrate together. It also features curated, museum-worthy wall art designed by Dara Young, which recreates a Caribbean village complete with miniature stores and people.
