Nita’s Gumbo recipe originated in the New Orleans kitchen of the late Irving Sheldon Jones. He moved to Chicago in 1921 but kept his Louisiana roots alive by making time for the authentic French-Creole styled Gumbo he loved to make. Irving passed along his recipe to his daughter Anita, and taught her how to make the most important ingredient in any Gumbo…the roux! For hours Anita would watch her father cook with pride whenever he prepared this Louisiana family recipe. It was here she learned the art of cooking, embraced the joy of creating and, under his watchful eye, mastered the techniques behind the taste of his intoxicating Gumbo.

This is carry out only. Flavor was good, but did not have all ingredients to serve what was on the menu. From what i ordered, scallops were missing. No lobste, not enough seafood in the gumbo. But flavors were great.

Anita’s Gumbo namesake is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Ross and Cynjora is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Great gumbo. Must come back. 10/10.

Getchu some good gumbo and more from Nita’s. Hands down some of the best gumbo in the City! Fresh and super flavorful and generous portions. Great packaging, travels well too! You will not be disappointed.

Good food!
Note: This review is for the carryout place in Stoney Island!
Just have to be patient when ordering, especially ordering online – you’re better off just come in and order at the window. It is a carry-out only place.
I’m adding photos so you can see the menu and prices. Although their prices have increased by about $0.50 for each items.
They don’t do full orders anymore. Which is fine by me because their half orders are plenty.

Nita’s gumbo wings are dangerously addictive, I cook and am very critical of food but I’ll be Damned if the wings aren’t fresh as ever cooked to order and the gumbo sauce is a unique mixture of perfection to be reckoned with and although the gumbo rice is a bit bland it’s perfect with a bite of sauced up chicken… my mom was born in Louisiana and I know what it’s supposed to taste like… they don’t open until 4:pm either so they know what they are doing, don’t need much time for a master piece to make its money. Please don’t switch up, and people please don’t miss out!

I ordered the signature bowl gumbo for the first time and loved it. It was ready quickly and just the right temperature. They have a neat and clean lobby but nowhere to sit and wait for your order to.

They’re always helpful even when very busy. I come from way North to purchase the gumbo. It is the closest I’ve found to my own. Plus if u buy it in half gallon you can doctor it up with some of your own items.

Great food, great staff however my cheesecake had mold on it which is very unfortunate and a waste of money considering the fact that i bought 2 of them. I will just stick to the food instead of dessert next time around.

DO NOT ORDER DELIVERY GO IN PERSON. (Check very bottom for an edit and update)
Ordered this place on Uber eats. I paid $20 for the gumbo, $15 for the combo gumbolaya, the $20 gumbo came in a MUCH smaller container than the Combolaya. So I know in the future to avoid this place via delivery.
I had great experiences in person. I just want folks to know via delivery they’re swindling you. I dreamed ALL DAY about this gumbo and got screwed.
EDIT!!: The restaurant replied and I will increase my previous service rating for the promptness of the response. The food difference in the two items still felt significant to me though. I did combine items in a larger bowl and felt I had less food for $20 than my partner for $15. The food is delicious but I still felt I should’ve had more as she did. I know next time to order use both a combo-laya as the way it’s combined and packed felt more full.
Food still amazing. Edited my review to improve my opinion on service and overall. The restaurant offered a thorough explanation of packaging, as I said I just still felt I had less food in the end due to the packaging.
