“My husband and I always enjoy coming to Aruba! The vibes, food, and service had been top notch every time we've been here. Happy hour food and drinks are always great. Tonight, we enjoyed the yellowtail snapper and baked stuffed shrimp. Both were so good but we especially enjoyed the stuffed shrimp. Thanks for the great food, drinks and service. We can't wait to come back next visit!“

“My experience has been excellent in this place. I came one day with my mother and we tried one of their coffees, and the person who served us (Valentina) gave us good service, she is very attentive and was very kind to us. The truth is one of the best people to serve that restaurant.“

“My old coworkers always raved about this place so 15 years later I finally got a chance to visit. We were a party of 6 on Presidents' Day for lunch. The place is located in a strip mall facing Cypress Road. It's on the smallish side. The hostess had us wait about 15 minutes while our table was prepared. There are some chairs out front for this purpose. My daughter and I split the fish and chips. My dad ordered the fish roti. Judging by his longing gaze at my fish and chips, I quickly traded with him. The fish was bland but the roti with the curry base and bits of soft potatoes was very filling and tasty! My teenage son ordered the cheese burger and fries and wolfed it down with a root beer. There is a bar with a variety of domestic and imported draft beers on tap. My mom ordered a pint of Bud Light but it was too much for her to finish. The highlight of the menu (IMHO) is the homemade desserts. We all split a caramel cheesecake, a flan and a double coconut pie. Delicious! Our server was a college-age young man who is service oriented and friendly. Two thumbs up! BUT... If you are in a hurry to get a quick bite to eat this is definitely not the place. We were seated for 2 hours. If you have the time and the money, Calypso is an authentic old Florida establishment that is well worth the visit.“
“12/30/23 8:30pm We arrived after the peek dinner rush and were able to get right in. Our Waiter was great. Clam Chowder and Appetizers were Great with generous portions. We had Octopus and bacon wrapper scallops. Great Garlic bread. Main entrees were spot on and again generous portions. We had Jambalaya and the lobster pasta. The seafood was fresh and cooked to perfection. Had Key lime pie for dessert and that completed a great dinner. Prices were very reasonable and the serving time was perfect with no delays between courses. Definetly worth the drive from the beach resort (14 mins) easy parking. Casual Fun atmosphere. Its a Keeper!“
“Superb service. Very friendly and helpful staff helped us figure out what to order and explained the dishes and combinations. All of the food was delicious. Suggest you order ahead of time since it does take quite a while for the food to be cooked, but that's good since it means the food is so fresh and cooked to order.“
“We came here for some good Jamaican food and Reggae Roots did not disappoint. The restaurant was nice and clean and the service was out of this world. The biggest thing to me that stood out was the service my husband and I was treated as family not just vacationers. We really enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and I especially loved the conversation very attentive to their customers. 10 out of 10 for me we will definitely be back when we are in the area. Oh and the food was fresh and hot. Beef patties and cocoa bread and oxtail plate on point full flavor.“
“I haven't had food from Golden Krust in a long time. There was a quiet ambiance at the Oakland Park location as I entered. With adequate table seating, this location offered: * a variety of fresh patties/pastries/bread & buns * breakfast dishes/combo meals * pasta/soups/sides * cold beverages * lunch specials I was greeted by a female employee who dished out my order of brown stew chicken into a carry out container. It was served with rice & peas, steamed vegetables, and fried plantains. She also added enough sauce to the rice. The food looked delicious and tasted good as well. The chicken was nicely browned and was tender. The rice & peas was cooked to a soft consistency and had a peppery kick. The veggies was tender and flavorful, while the plantains was sweet. Gotta make time to visit Golden Krust more often to try their other dishes.“
“I felt transported to Trinidad from the moment I stepped foot into the restaurant. I happened to visit on a very crowded Saturday afternoon and was in a rush, so I couldn’t wait for the kitchen to make roti, but I had the chance to try the doubles. These were perfectly made and come two to an order. Thankfully, I was splitting the meal because one double is plenty. I opted for everything on top and slight pepper - that came out perfectly. For an entree, I shared the curry goat and rice (the kitchen was out of roti at the time) with dal. The curry goat was piping hot, tender, and seasoned well. We happened to nab a table just as some folks were leaving. It was so nice to see a wide variety of people at the restaurant. I am already looking forward to my next visit!“
“Today was my first time, I ordered a Jerk chicken meal, since I moved to Florida I have tasted so many Jerk chicken, this is the first place who knows and kept their Jamaican recipe, it was finger delicious ( might no be a word) but that how I describe it, well marinated with the jerk spice, even they gave me the extra jerk sauce, I didn’t even need it, that’s well made the dish was, so I gave the chef a 5 ⭐️, so anyone who want a great Jerk chicken should go there, even all of us might have our taste (spicy or none spicy) I believe you will like and don’t forget you need either water or one Jamaican ginger beer to cool it down. I will go back to taste the other dish on the menu, will keep you posted! Enjoy!“
“I really do love Donnas restaurant because the food is simply delicious. The restaurant offers a wide variety of food that will tickle your tastebuds the moment you enter, and have you coming back for more.... And how can I forget the staff. They are simple courteous people who are always willing to serve. If you really want some great Caribbean food with great service....Donnas is the place I recommend. I eat at University drive, N State Road 7, 12th.Street, and Coral Springs...Please don't judge me. I cook in my own kitchen...but Donnas is my favorite eat out option for all the good reasons I've suggested.“
“Flavors Caribbean Restaurant’s Wednesday special features tender and flavorful curried goat priced at under $10, and it even includes a refreshing drink! This unbeatable deal allows you to indulge in the savory delights of curried goat, expertly prepared with aromatic spices, all while enjoying a complimentary beverage. It’s an exceptional opportunity to relish authentic Caribbean cuisine without exceeding your budget.“
“The food in this place is delicious! I have ordered multiple items on the menu and they have not disappoint! They have one of the best haitian mac and cheese I have ever eating. And they are super friendly and great customer service! I highly recommend!“
“Great Place, Great Vibes. A must visit. I'm from NYC stayed in Miami for 6days, but traveled to Ft. Lauderdale everyday for Lunch n dinner just to eat @ Joy's. It's hard to find Home cooked food, but joys is a JOY to eat @. 100% Approved!!!“
“It's been some time since I've last been here since I've moved farther away, but the food is definitely worth making the trip. I usually place an order over the phone to pick up. Customer service is always on point and food quality is nothing short of great.“
“One of the best holes in the wall I’ve ever found. I’ve been in broward for over 20 years and this is some of the best Haitian food I’ve had. Worth the visit. I walked out the building and I got tired holding the damn container because it was so heavy. Excellent service, excellent food, 11/10 spot.“
“This place is GREAT! The service and hospitality is perhaps the best thing about the establishment! The women who I always see when I come in are kind and pleasant and always jovial! The food is DELICIOUS! I regularly come in for the curry and jerk chicken combination plate! The plantains are some of the BEST, they are made the right way! The cabbage and rice and peas are also delicious! The proportions are HUGE- you will not be hungry afterwards! They also make a Rum Cake that is DANGEROUSLY DELICIOUS! Prices are VERY reasonable! This is one of the best Jamaican restaurants I’ve been to whether in south FL or on the Island itself! Highly recommend!“
“Staff very friendly and helpful. The food is excellent and the ocean view is very pleasant every time I have eaten there .the only thing I would like for people to leave their dogs at home . They do not belong where people go out to have a meal and drinks without having a misbehaved dog is these people cannot afford to have someone watch them over for an hour or two while they eat dinner out and then he shouldn’t have dogs. It should be succumbing to the rules who are larger to them. We need to stop this.“
“This is the first time I had roti, but it won't be the last. If you like curry, and have never had roti, I highly suggest you try Ali's Roti Shop. First, let me say when you go in you are welcomed with a smile. As some of the other reviews have said, the ladies in Ali's are welcoming and don't mind questions. For example, I thought roti was curry wrapped up like a burrito, but the menu says - chicken AND roti or beef AND roti. So hoping they would forgive my ignorance, I asked about this. (You can have yourcurry wrapped in roti like a large sandwich or separate is the answer by the way.) The portions are huge here!! So I suggest getting the roti on the side. Picking it up as a sandwich was yummy but messy. In fact, with the portions as large as this, I could have made several burrito like roti instead of just one huge one. The curry itself was slightly hot, according to my friend who was with me, who is Jamaican. His tolerance is higher than mine. I would say it is medium spicy lol. It was very tasty and filling and not so hot that I couldn't taste the spices and flavor. The curry spice is the star as are the big pieces of moist chicken. I also got a piece of carrot cake, which was moist and delicious with just the right amount of cream cheese icing. It was also a large portion. To drink, I got their pineapple ginger juice that they make there, and it was perfect- spicy and sweet. The place itself is very clean and homey. Overall, a great first experience with roti! Epic fail on pics as usual. Always forget to take til it is too late.“
“Omggg !Listen to me !I’ve been looking for good tasty seafood for a while & buck up this restaurant and I promise you from the service , to the reasonable prices, to the taste of the food down to the bone ? wow this place is customer friendly, great service & AMAZING dishes . So much to choose from get here if you’re looking for a good fish in south Florida .“
“Was too glad when a fellow Virgin Islander told us about this place. We sure weren't disappointed. I'm still dreaming about that soursop juice. By far the best I've ever had. Food was so good that we ate here 2x during a 1 week trip. Great customer service as well. I enjoyed on day one a plate of mutton with peas and rice and baked macaroni and of course my soursop juice. Left there with a delicious lemon cake made from scratch. Next visit I had the saltfish with rice and spinach. My mother had oxtail for both visits along with passion fruit. This time I drank passion mixed with ginger beer. I saw pates, Johnny cake, fried chicken wings, vita malt, historical pictures and beautiful pics of home. It was comforting. We were not disappointed at all. Real food not dry fast food. Thank you for your service.“
“Knight’s Kitchen is truly a hidden gem in Sunrise. It is hands down one of the best Jamaican Restaurants here in Sunrise Florida. After picking up my order, I had to call back and place another order for 2 additional plates. The chef hands are truly touched by an Angel. Wow, truly authentic.. Will definitely be going back.❤️??“
“Been here twice and really like this place. The customer service is great. They're friendly and gave me a sample of my smoothie first to make sure I liked it before buying it. I've tried 2 smoothies there so far and both were delicious and made very well. I forget the first one I got but today I got the Supreme Green and like it a lot. Inside is a little small but enough room for 6-7 people to eat. I saw bathrooms down the hallway. Some small foot options in a hot case in the front. They have tons of smoothie options. Some bottled drink options as well. The pricing is on par with other places. I definitely need to come back and try one of their meals.“

“Chef Roy food is truly amazing, I’ve followed him everywhere he’s gone for years, his boneless snapper fishes makes it so easy to eat. His food is well seasoned and gives an authentic taste no matter what you order. Everything is cooked to order and fresh. I’d definitely recommend to stop by and see for yourself.“
“I ordered through Uber eats never heard about this place before so I wanted to come here and give a proper review. I ordered the jerk chicken and it was delicious. It taste as though it came off the pan (grill) which made it all the more delicious. I will be trying more items from this restaurant in the future.“
“The service was excellent even though there was just one server. came in on Saturday with ten folks. The food arrived really quickly. The bacon burger and the chicken wings with lemon pepper were both excellent. The food was wonderful, fresh, and fantastic. and the service was just fantastic.“
“Girls' night out & it was fun! Music was nice (all reggae). It would've been nice for the DJ to mix in a little r&b/rap. Ordered the oxtail, rice & peas, and tostones. It was good! Management was accommodating and made sure we were comfortable!“
“The fried pork (Grio) is always cooked to protection and the pikliz (Spicy Coleslaw) taste perfect with the rice, beans and pork together. Just an amazing combination, family run restaurants are the best in Oakland Park. Hands down best Hattian food in the area.“
“The owner and her husband were very accommodating for my party of 5. They gave us the real Jamaican experience. The food was AMAZING and we had one of almost everything on the menu. The servers were also friendly which made the experience even better.“
“Hands down, the BEST roti shop in Florida. Singh’s catered for my wedding reception and all of my guests loved their food. My family from Trinidad couldn’t believe they were getting Trini food like this in the states lol. Thank you for everything! You guys are the best. If you’re reading this review, make sure you go to Singh’s!“
“My first time here today. It is close to the office and the lunch specials are very affordable. I was happy to find them busy but still getting orders out fast. I ordered ahead and had to wait maybe 5 minutes since the counter was so busy, nothing unreasonable and the staff was very friendly to everyone. I got the curried goat and it was so delicious. I recommended lots of my coworkers to stop by for the lunch specials and I will definitely be back again.Parking: Easy plaza parking with a traffic light to let you exit both ways“

“My wife and I had a great lunch here. Food was amazing, service outstanding - Thank you Patrick! In fact the entire staff went above and beyond to make the meal great. They had a very tasty menu. I had the jerk chicken sandwich and my wife had the parpanelle pasta dish which we both enjoyed. Good selection of beers on draft as well. Highly recommendedKid-friendliness: They have a kids menu, we didn’t have kids with us but other patrons did“
“One of the best Golden Krust locations I’ve ever been to. Staff was amazing and food presentation was awesome ?. The presentation makes you want to try everything. I loved the wings and the rice and the mild beef patties . Will be back soon thank you ?.“

“We financed the purchase of our first home through Mrs LLisa Codwelland had such a great experience that we’ve since refinanced with her twice. MRS LLisa Codwelland her team are fantastic! They make the process easy to understand, walked us through each step, and kept us informed along the way. They’re professional yet warm and friendly, and we wouldn’t trust the process with anyone else!“
“Went here with my wife on one of those days you just don't feel like cooking. I ordered the jerk chicken while my wife ordered one each of the chicken and beef meat patty. The chicken was absolutely perfect, with just the right amount of spices for me and came with rice and beans. There was SO MUCH food that there was no way it could be finished in one night, and the price was extremely affordable. My wife enjoyed her meat patties and loved the curry seasoning in one and the mild flavor of the other. The two women who waited upon us were such wonderful people. Their smiles were natural and infectious. I am super anxious to get back there and try the ox-tail or the goat curry, but I'm not sure about one of their other menu items, the goat head soup, lol!“
“Delicious! I was passing by after a run and saw the flag. Had to check it out. I was greeted by a kind cashier who helped me decide on the large portion of j*** chicken (it was between the j*** & oxtail).When I came back to pick up my meal; the cook was there to greet me. You can really feel the authenticity. She opened my to-go box to ensure the meal was to my liking. She also got me an extra sauce on the side. The large j*** chicken plate came with about 1/2 a chicken, a salad, and rice & peas.the chicken was so flavorful, the rice and peas were exactly what I needed. The salad for meWas the appropriate portion, as I prioritize the protein. They overdelivered.Would highly recommend for an authentic, homemade meal. I’ll be back!“
