“From the phone call to in person. The team was amazing, we drove from Long Island, NY to celebrate my Auntie 77th birthday celebration on Saturday. Crystal( I hope I spelled it correctly) was FANASTIC. She was so accommodating and pleasant with my family. Overall, the food was great too! We had a good time, we will def take the drive next time for another occasion.THANK YOU SO MUCH, Tanya/ Tania.“
“I cannot say enough about this exceptional restaurant. I have been following the chef for some time and finally was able to get a reservation for my anniversary. The location is in the middle of Lincoln Center and was beyond gorgeous to compliment this equally elegant restaurant. From the moment I entered, I was greeted by friendly staff who were immediately attentive and responsive and didn't feel pretentious or stuffy. I started at the bar and enjoyed two cocktails while I waited for my plus 1. The drinks were fantastic. By the way, I am a mixologist who travels to exceptional cocktail bars. This place had drinks that stood out. They were refreshing, while spirited and tasty. The nut cracker was not too boozy, but a delightful game changer like I have never had before (I usually hate this drink made by other establishments). Then, once we were seated, we ordered a medley of dishes from the Hamachi Eschovitch, to the Oxtail and Crab Rangoon and the Egusi Dumplings to start. Everything we ordered was eclectic, unique and truly melted in your mouth. Some items had a bit of a kick, but nothing overwhelming (except for the side sauce provided - beware). Then, for dinner, we enjoyed the Sofrito Roasted Chicken which was perfectly cooked, juicy and had an assortment of flavors and reminders of my childhood (just like grandma made). We also ordered Mom's Shrimp Dish which was another award winning dish. For dessert, we ended the meal with the rum cake. Spectacular! I highly recommend this phenomenal restaurant for a unique and exceptional culinary experience. Kudos to Kwame and wishing you much success.Parking: Parking is expensive. Take the train instead or a taxi. Both more affordable options.“
“This is a great place for seemingly authentic Caribbean cuisine. The atmosphere is great with great natural lighting in the day and a nice lounge atmosphere in the evening. The food is delicious and they have many classics like mofongo and patacón. The biggest problem is the time it takes to receive the food once ordered. Also I'd highly recommend a reservation if dining in.“
“100% SOLD ALL. THE. TIME. This is my go-to spot when I want to have something a little special and the price point fits within my budget. No matter the dish, it always hits the spot and I'm always pleased that I'm paying for a dish that isn't outrageous compared to other restaurants in the area that are serving similar items. I also appreciate the service - everyone is friendly ans offers great suggestions. Specials are always worth visiting again and again. GO!!“
“The food was awesone!!! And the chef was super friendly. I have eaten the Salmon, fried whiting, string beans, Mac and cheese and corn bread. All were favorful and delicious. The potato salad was amazing. I highly recommend this restaurant. The hubby had the ox tails and turkey wings and he was more than please! The food is definetly cooked with love! The strawberry mango lemonade ( with alcohol) was on point and one definitely had me feeling very nice! Please take the time to check out this establishment.“
“Title: Vibrant Flavors and Atmosphere at Kokomo Caribbean RestaurantRating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Review:**Food:** At Kokomo Caribbean Restaurant, the culinary journey is a mixed bag. While the oxtail scored a moderate 5 out of 10, the red snapper fish and wings impressed with an 8 out of 10 rating each. The standout was the drink—a fruit punch with Ray and Nephew—which kicked it up to a delightful 9 out of 10.**Ambiance/Vibe:** Kokomo's ambiance is a vibrant blend of old and new Jamaican culture music, earning a perfect 10 out of 10 for its inviting atmosphere.**Service:** The service, while generally good, lacked a bit of warmth in the customer service aspect, resulting in a 6 out of 10 rating.**Atmosphere:** Kokomo offers a cozy atmosphere, perfect for capturing memories with friends and family, earning a solid 7 out of 10.**Overall:** With a vibrant atmosphere and flavorsome dishes, Kokomo Caribbean Restaurant delivers a satisfying experience, earning an overall rating of 4 out of 5.“
“Just checked this place out for brunch and The service was amazing Kenisha our waitress was amazing super personality. The food was great shrimp tacos were amazing the owner is also very personable. The hospitality feels like your home with your family the rum punch was superb just like back in Jamaica very fresh overall great first time experience if your thinking of checking it out don’t think twice Go!“
“Never been a fan of this chain but decided to stop by at this one today and I’m so glad I did! The staff was phenomenal and so helpful with me coming with a special needs kid in a stroller and the food was off the charts good! I’ll definitely be back at this location again ?“
“We went for brunch and got the croquetas, the tortilla cubana, and the huevos rancheros. The tortilla cubana (omelette with chorizo, manchego, and spinach) was great, but the potatoes served on the side were just ok. The huevos rancheros were good as well. The croquetas were very heavily breaded -- I would not order them again. I had the passionfruit mojito, which was good but a bit too sweet for my taste. Service was good!“
“Jasmine's was such a beautiful experience, and the food was great. We are visiting from Florida, and my husband loves Jamaican and Caribbean food. We footed it to this restaurant and was greeted by a friendly waitress who seated us at a high top table. Great ambiance, adult beverages were on point (I ordered the rum punch), and our dishes were delicious. I ordered the Veggie Cook Up, and my husband ordered the Curry Chicken. We are still in town, so I am trying to see how we can return before we leave! Thanks so much!Vegetarian options: Clearly Indicated on their menu“
“Patrick’s Place is a nice little date night spot. It’s super small so it can feel cramped BUT the entertainment and service completely make up for the limited space. It definitely more of an intimate setting. I didn’t have the pleasure of trying the food but the drinks were great. The rum punch was authentic and you could taste the Wray and nephew, need I say more? The Jazz players and singer were really good. I would definitely come back and try the food next time. Parking is a little difficult as it’s Harlem and on the main road so just keep that in mind. There is also a $20 pp minimum“
“Had chef’s fried chicken, fried rice and cabbage all of which were tasty, precise in seasoning and dining in for lunch was relaxing to jams. They had their own homemade juices. Pineapple ginger lime was deliciously smooth, not overtly sweet, just right. The spread available was well presented and looked tasty. Can’t wait to return.“
“What an amazing experience! I am staying in upper west side for a month. I was exploring the neighborhood...popped in. Greeted with open arms and kindness.THEN the scallops...seriously...not to be touched. Charmin, attentive staff and all things lovely on menu. Coming back for what i understand is a brilliant happy hour!“
“My goto place for the best roasted chicken in the area. Their motto - El Rey Del Pollo - King of the Roast Chicken. Also tried their other dishes today like the sautéed pork chops and the grouper fish fillet sautéed, with side dishes of red black beans, maduros, steamed vegetables, and yellow rice. All were generous and delicious. Also ordered their Malecon cocktail, diet soda, and finished off with an authentic Tres Leches dessert. We were so full and we still had lots of food to take home. We actually over-ordered. Service was very friendly, attentive, and efficient. Ambiance is cozy and contemporary. The place was packed on a Sunday lunch, very popular.Parking: Predominantly street parking, free on certain times and days. Paid parking garage nearby.“
“*AMAZING* WOW! My experience here at Harry’s Daughter was one to remember. From the ambience to the attentiveness of our waiter Gregory, I wouldn’t have asked for a better night. Gregory was not just a waiter, he became such a great host for our table! The food!!!! Oh my goodness! The Jerk Salmon was cooked to perfection and don’t get me started on the Jerk Egg Rolls! Clearly I’m a fan and will return!!! You HAVE to visit Harry’s Daughter!!!“
“Last night I tried food from Sally's for the first time and it was pretty good. We got take out and the service was really nice.I had the curry chicken which I was hoping to be cooked in a more Caribbean way, but it was still nice, spicy and the chicken portion was very decent which I was pleasantly surprised by. I had a taste of my friend's jerk fish and it was so good, sweet and spicy, but I wouldn't call it jerk. She also let me try the crab Rangoon dumplings and they were my favorite! I wish I had them hot and with the sauce provided, but they were still great.I got the matcha rum cake and there wasn't a hint of rum. I was really disappointed by this, and the size was also pretty shocking and small. At least if there was any taste of rum I would've said ok, the price is for the rum and not the size. But I felt cheated. The cake which was like a mini bundt cake was sweet and good just not for $12.The Caribbean and Asian flare wasn't really pulled off very well for me. It would've been nice if the cultures were better represented and fused in the food, but for me the food across the board leans more Asian inspired like maybe Thai. The food was fine just not what it claimed to be.“
“Fun restaurants rarely have good food anymore - but my goodness. A blast of a night with rounds of jerk chicken. The cod fritters were delicious, the rum punch kept me going all night. I'm not an avid fan of mac and cheese but I could eat this one every day, enjoying it more and more each time. Loved the music, too.“
“Amazing! They were out of the jerk chicken empanadas when I ordered online late in the day, so the super nice owner gave me two salmon ones after calling to inform me and asking about substitutes. I got the sweet chili hot wings and they were so good! Made to order and super fresh and flavorful. The mac and cheese was also great.“
“I find myself loving this place more and more, not only is the food great but the owners are AMAZING!!! It’s black owned, and the love they put in their food just keeps me coming back everytime I’ve had to come to Harlem. The fried foods are made fresh to order which is what you would hope for, and everything else is on point. Exactly what I be hoping for when I crave soul food. Must try!!“
“Kingston Bakery has been my spot for beef patties since they’ve opened and I’m never disappointed. It wasn’t until I tried the actual entrees that I was completely hooked. The oxtails are so good and the stewed chicken is absolutely bussin!! If you haven’t stopped by now I’d the time and the portions are great too.“
“The only issue was trying to get someone to speak English on the phone when I called. After talking to 3 different females, the fourth one spoke English.And the valley people lost my car keys ticket. I had to go thru all the keys to fi d mine.“
“Fantastic food with very great price. I was so impressed by the oxtail I had. It was so big volume with absolutely great stewed oxtail. my girlfriend usually can not eat too much, but she finished her super full box of food. People in the store was sooo sweet, give us so many instructions for food with smiling. Hope everyone can come to try this fantastic Jamaican food“
“We tried the pabellón criollos (traditional Venezuelan breakfast) and pan con bistec guaro (Venezuelan steak sandwich), as well as the agua fresca de flor de Jamaica (Costa Rican sorrel wine, non alcoholic). Great dishes with a warm brunch ambiance.“
“Delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The yellow rice is soft and tasty; it is very well made. The pernil is also very well cooked but does lack a bit of seasoning, it still taste good but I think they cook can add a bit more seasoning to it and it will be PERFECT! I always feel like I am back at home whenever I order from Mis Raices.“
“Patties are always fresh and hot. The delicious ox tail, and jerk chicken platters are big portions. The Chicken and Dumpling soup is amazing. Large variety of Breads to take home, and the hot sauce they serve will bring a tear to your eye.I went in for something simple, vegetarian. The cabbage with jerk sauce side was enough for a meal. 10 out of 10 try, you won’t be disappointed.Vegetarian options: Veggie and Vegan Patties, All the sides are vegetarian.“
“I got the jerk chicken empanada and a breakfast bagel with hash browns, egg and cheese. Everything was solid - they did not skimp on the quantity and the flavors were amazing. Definitely ordering again and looking forward to trying their sandwiches!“

“Came with my daughter and was treated to a Cod bowl and roast chicken. There were plenty of portions and the food was delicious! I really want to point out that the beautiful lady taking our order was kind, engaging, extremely competent and courteous. Really great atmosphere.“
“Well my first review was based on that day’s food …so I went back and purchased a chicken sandwich which was delicious and was asked to give them and try on The Oxtail Grill Cheese Sandwich and I watched the Young Chef make the dish right before my eyes and the end result was superb… Made me eat my words and they were “
“Don't let these 4 stars deceive youI would give 5 stars if the portions were larger for the prices charged. But other that that...The food is AWESOME! The drinks are AWESOME! The service is AWESOME!If you have not visited yet, I suggest you do so! I had BBQ wings for a starter and the pick two and the rum punch for my entree. Food was so good, I had to take home a curried chicken and stewed chicken ??due to them being closed on Mondays...Parking: Metered parking as well as a paid parking garage in and around the vicinity of the restaurant. There is a CVS parking lot across the the street from this place, but that is a risky chance!“
“It’s always the authentic eateries that strike a chord with me! Absolutely INCREDIBLE goat curry with buss up shut (roti) the goat was so tender and falling off the bone, the curry sauce was absolute perfection and great for dipping the roti in. The pumpkin and potato came separately to the curry which I think is genius to not mix up the flavours. The roti was cooked and torn up to perfection. Really authentic and you could tell the chef has made this for years and perfected the recipe.I will be thinking about this dish for days to come.lady who served me was an absolute angel as well, had a million things to do at once and all by herself but was attentive with great customer service skills, place was clean, good atmosphere and vibe with music playing and a bar in the middle with decent seating options for diners. 10/10 will be back“
“This restaurant is popping with their stew peas and rice.. when in the Bronx I stop by and pick up a plate.. it’s very good and Munchie is very personable and offer good service.. I just love their stew peas which was referred to me by a friend years ago??❤️“
“I was craving some oxtails and ran into this place on google and I tried it out the two ladies were friendly and they pack the container very well .I had gotten oxtail with rice and peas and Mac and cheese.Oxtail was very tasty but seasonedRice and peas was very good as wellMac and cheese was delicious and perfect texture for me .I had also gotten a cheesecake and banana pudding.Cheese cake was deliciousNot really a fan of Banana pudding but this one was good too.“
“I had an amazing experience. The drinks, food, and customer service was excellent! Jessica did a phenomenal job serving us and making sure we had everything we needed and ensured we enjoyed our experience. The service was exceptional and every employee was ready to cater to our every need.“
“Returned for take out and even better than I remembered. Moist jerk chicken with wonderful 'hotter' sauce. Good portion with rice and beans and steamed veggie. I must return to try the curried goat etc. (There are some tables but I suspect most of the biz is take out).“
“Authentic West African food and delicious. This is a rare find in Bergen County plus there's a market next door that also has Caribbean and West African items you'd have to go to NYC to find or farther out in New Jersey. Prices are affordable too.To be frank, I know the owners and they built the market and restaurant they'd want for themselves. What I can tell you is that they've succeeded brilliantly.“
“Living in the neighborhood we always get quick delivery once the food is ordered on the phone. In my pictures its the $12 Beef Stew Plate featuring yellow rice, beef stew in gravy sauce w/ potatoes and a cup on the side with red beans. Myself and my 14 year old young man always splits this $12 plate as you can see in the video. Delicious“
“A very special place of warmth and true Jamaican hospitality in NYC. I have hosted several events here (3 cooking classes for students and a special pre-wedding fun "game night" party) and everyone loves generous-hearted Chef Mom, the delicious food she prepares and the wide open welcoming space. What a treat to have this gem in the middle of the city.“
“When I say AMAZING!! Rachel greeted us at the door . We came for happy hour. She was so sweet and an excellent server. The food was sooo good . And them drinks were strong but tasty. All of the staff were so pleasant and we truly enjoyed ourselves. We drove over an hour to come and we will def be back ! Thank you Rachel ! Thank you CZEN !Vegetarian options: I had the bang bang cauliflowers and the Mongolian mushrooms. So deliciousParking: Paid parking right on the street and it’s free after 6“
“Went to wadadli jerk with my mum and friends , the food was top notch and the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We will definitely be back and I would highly recommend this restaurant ?.. Much blessings from Natasha, Sandra and Curtis..“
“Nice mix of Hispanic food, very delicious mangu, definitely one of the best I've tried in the area. El pernil and arroz morro is so good and balanced seasoning. Food was ready and recently cooked, the staff very friendly service. The owner was constantly checking to see we were well attended. Will be coming back to try more on the menu. Uber Eats and Door Dash and GrubHub available ????.“
“This was an absolutely wonderful experience, top to bottom! I was initially concerned because the doors were closed, but thru the glass, I saw an employee who waved at me. ? Feeling welcomed, I climbed the stairs and she sat me in the upper level where it was warm, cute and quaint. I sat and the soft reggae music filled my ears, as my waiter (Jermaine?) approached. He was a very kind gentle soul. I ordered the ginger tea which was THE best ginger tea I've ever had! I then ordered the cornbread w/guava butter and the spring rolls... absolutely delicious! I'm not a meat eater, but I ordered the oxtails to go for family, and they were cleaned off the bone, so I take it they were delicious too! ? This is definitely a gem in NYC next to NYU, and this California girl left fulfilled, top to bottom! I will DEFINITELY visit again whenever I'm in New York! Thanks for the experience!Vegetarian options: I ordered the spring rolls and cornbread. I didn't see a lot of options, nor did I ask, but it's worth the visit for even just those two items!Wheelchair accessibility: I had to access stairs to enter the restaurant. I didn't see an elevator, but I didn't ask if there was one either.“
“I cross the freakin bridge from NJ to go here... Regularly. They are better than the spots around me in North Jersey.1. There are super nice people working here and explain the dishes to you if you're not Jamaican and unfamiliar with the cuisine.2. Their portions for the price are easily 2x the places in north jersey.3. Their food is just better tasting than the other spots I've tried. The oxtail... Succulent and falling off the bone. The Jerk Chicken... Seasoned all the way down the bone and just heavenly.You will not be disappointed if you stop in here, 100% worth the stop.“
“I'm always having a spot saved on my Google and my cousin and I decided to try this place. It was a great choice. We came in and it was quiet so we were able to get seating right away.I ordered the Holy Grail but I found it to be a little sweet for me so I went with the French Kiss which was really good. My cousin and I picked the shrimp dumplings and lemon pepper wings as appetizers. The shrimp dumplings are AMAZING!!!! OMG! I ordered the snapper which was really amazing as well.Service was good. Place was nice and clean. Will definitely return“
“I literally just ordered from here; the diri djoun djoun with fried chicken and a side of macaroni au gratin…. They also gave a fresh side green salad. Out of the whole meal my favs were the fried chicken(well down like I like it) the diri djoun djoun was bomb!!! And the salad was soooo fresh and delicious. TO ME AND I SAY TO ME cause everyone’s taste buds are different I didn’t like the macaroni au gratin too much cause one it had ground beef or turkey in it hard to tell being that it was well marinated into the macaroni au gratin and also in my opinion it was a lil dry (once again this is my opinion cause some might find it to be just right, whereas I like that oily and fattening macaroni au gratin taste). But do not not order it guys cause your guys may choose to differ when it comes to the macaroni au gratin. But other than that I enjoyed the food. Been a while since I had haiatian food that actually taste like Haitian food. Oh ye the ambiance is to die for fancy and upscale AF!!!! Definitely got themselves a loyal customer! ♥️“
“Best oxtail rotis hand down. Cash only and they do not deliver using any apps. The walk there makes me appreciate every darn bite. The place is small itself and they can probably only handle 3 peoples orders, orders tend to be large but the owner is attentive. Family owned too, wish I lived a bit closer but my wallet thanks me I'm sure.“
“Probably one of the best Cuban restaurants I have ever been to. definitely my go to they messed up my drink today but they usually don’t mess stuff up. If you’re in the area check them out.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor seating and ramp going in“
“Got some patties and they were delicious, but the standout part of the experience was the kindness I received from the cashier/POS staff!!! It was a lovely reminder how kindness and empathy trumps any other superficial experience. Made the food even more enjoyable! Thank you!“

“The chicken with spicy guava was tasty a little to sweet ? I was looking for garlic on my testones. The kids enjoyed the chicken fingers though. And the cocktaiks were delish. I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“
“I absolutely love this food I come from Brookyln to go to b&b i love everything they make it’s fresh and made with love I’ve never had a complaint about ANYTHING I can never go in that place and get one meal I eat a meal there and then I pack one for home and for work so I happily spend about $60-$70 and be very satisfied very omg I want some nowwwwwww!!!!!“
“I would return tomorrow if I could. Dinner with a party of 6 people. The waitress was kind and informative. For apps we have empanadas, gauc with painting chips and croquettes. They were all delicious and fresh. I got the Havana Shrimp for dinner. The shrimp was succulent and plump. I got so full I ended up having to bring half of my dish home. It did not disappoint. It's BYOB. They mix our wine with the house sangria. It was delicious. Rebeca is truly a hidden gem and I would recommend to everyone “
