Iyla’S Southern Kitchen – Morgan Street Food Hall

Iyla’s Southern Kitchen is a Southern kitchen inside Morgan Street Food Hall on West Morgan Street in Raleigh. It is one of several vendors operating under that roof.

The cooking keeps to authentic Southern flavors, and the menu offers a wide variety of ways, as the restaurant puts it, to put a little South in your mouth. Southern hospitality is part of what the place promises. In a food hall, that means you can get a Southern plate while the rest of your table goes somewhere else entirely.

What to know

• The restaurant is named for the daughter of owner and chef Greg Nelson.
• Nelson both owns the business and runs the kitchen.
