Story of our restaurant

About us - Carpe Kitchen and Cocktails

We invite you to
visit our restaurant

Carpe was founded by four friends from Nigeria and Ethiopia whose combined experience in business, the nightclub, and the hookah lounge industry led to the concept of Carpe: an upscale restaurant that transforms into an intimate and relaxed space to enjoy music, craft cocktails, and bottle service each night. The idea to serve a fusion of African and Afro-American cuisine came from a desire to further diversify the food options in downtown Dallas. The restaurant has been serving sensational dishes since opening in November 2023.

It was very delicious!

At Carpe Kitchen, the chefs aren't just cooks; they're culinary wizards adding a touch of magic to every single dish. Their passion for diverse flavors shines through in the innovative presentations that delighted my palate. But beyond the exceptional cuisine, it was the warmth and attentiveness of the staff that truly won me over. Each smile, every thoughtful gesture, made me feel like part of the Carpe family. It's a place where every ingredient, every meal, and every person matters— a rare treasure in the bustling city of Dallas.

I will visit again.

Stepping into Carpe Kitchen was like discovering a new world of flavors right in the heart of Dallas. The chefs are true artisans, painting plates with flavors that are as rich and vibrant as the ambiance. The kindness that radiated from the staff made the evening even more special. As I left, I knew one thing for certain: Carpe Kitchen and Cocktails isn't just a one-time affair for me. It's a culinary destination that I plan to return to time and time again. A place that feels like home, yet always has something new and exciting to offer.
