“This place exudes an amazing energy that envelops you. With its distinctive atmosphere and aesthetic, you'd think you were in Jamaica instead of NYC. The staff is exceptionally friendly and attentive. The drinks, especially the rum punch, are delightful. Every item on the menu is enticing. I highly recommend beginning with the peppered shrimp as an appetizer. The jerk chicken ramen is a standout, offering remarkable flavor and spice. The best part? After a while, they clear out the chairs and tables, turning the place into a vibrant bashment.Dietary restrictions: Ensuring your safety here has never been an issue for me. The staff is accommodating and open to substitutions, provided you communicate your needs effectively.“

“Best fast-casual food in the city. I get this for lunch often. The entire meal is delicious. I’ve tried most of their rice bowls and one is more delicious than the next, whichever protein you prefer, go for that. So fresh, so tasty, spices, temperature, and HEALTHY! You can see the people are passionate and efficient as well. 10/10“

“The closest you will get to Dominican food without being in Dominican Republic. The sangria is also extremely strong, which is an amazing thing. Absolutely love this place, strongly recommend everything on the menu especially the rotisserie chicken, best chicken ever, my go-to spot every time I cross the GWB. 5/5“

“Absolutely delighted by the BYOBservice at Negril Village! The flexibility to bring our own bottle made the evening exceptionally personal and relaxed. But let's talk about the real star of the show: the food. Each dish is a fiery celebration of flavor, brilliantly capturing the essence of Jamaican cuisine. The spices sing, the textures dance, and the presentation is pure art. Whether it's the jerk chicken that tantalizes with its smoky depth or the curry goat that embraces you with its rich, complex warmth, Negril Village doesn't just serve food—it delivers an experience. Heat, heart, and heritage blaze in every bite. This place is a must-visit for anyone who cherishes genuine culinary craftsmanship.“

“Food was good! Music and lighting all so fun too. Went for restaurant week and it ended up not applying on the weekend improving ended up to be about the same. Weird because nothing online said they were only participating during the week.Liked the experience!“

“Peppa is open for takeout, clean food awesome“

“Stand in line if it is busy (it is very popular, so it's often busy) but for down the middle comfort food like chicken rice and beans, this place is awesome. Very utilitarian set-up. Take it to go, or sit at one of the little barebones tables. It will satisfy your hunger in a tasty way!“
