A very weird restaurant has baffled customers and delighted many others with the way it has been built to look like a small opening in the wall.
A mysterious restaurant that serves delicious home-cooked Caribbean Food through a hole in the wall has baffled people in Brooklyn’s Crown Heights neighborhood. That’s actually what the owner, a man named Papa who moved to Brooklyn from Jamaica eight years ago, and his patrons call the unique eatery; a hole in the wall.
The name ‘Hole in the Wall’ isn’t just clever wordplay, it’s as literal as it gets – from the outside, the restaurant is just a rectangular hole cut out from a storefront grate located on Kingston Avenue. There’s no sign, no hours, no menu, and not even a door to walk through.
Papa simply opens up the hole each morning when the food is ready, and closes it when the stock for the day is sold out. His Caribbean dishes are fresh, tasty, and best of all, free from sales tax.
The meal options are the same every day – curry goat, marinated chicken, oxtail, or sauteed fish, served with rice, beans, and chopped vegetables. Each dish is packed in styrofoam containers of two different sizes, priced at $6 and $10. There’s no place to sit and dine but that does not seem to bother customers who throng to buy food from the unusual restaurant.
By all accounts, the food served at Hole in the Wall may be delicious, but it’s the eatery’s air of mystery and exclusivity that make it so special.
