Owner of the short-lived Latin & Soul Buffet at former Amici's spot set to open Indulge.

A brand new restaurant is coming to lower Main Street Poughkeepsie. Back in July we reported that Poughkeepsie's first-ever Latin and soul buffet restaurant would be opening over the summer. Latin & Soul Buffet opened in the former Amici's spot at 35 Main Street in August with a grand opening event and some great reviews but sadly closed after only 2 months .

Jeff Watkins, owner of Latin & Soul Buffet posted to social media back in December thanking friends and supporters of the restaurant and stating that he was closing the chapter on Latin & Soul Buffet. He also said that he was excited to make new memories in a new fresh space reportedly called Indulge.

Dear Friends and Supporters
As we open the doors to our new restaurant, we want to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude. This journey has been made possible because of your unwavering support, encouragement, and belief in us.
Closing the chapter on our previous restaurant Latin & Soul Buffet is bittersweet, as it holds countless cherished memories. However, we are filled with excitement and anticipation for the new memories we’ll create together in this fresh space.
Thank you for standing by us through this trying time. We can’t wait to welcome you to our new home, where we’ll continue sharing the same great food, laughter, and community.
With love and gratitude, introducing…INDULGE.
