“I've only been for their breakfast which is reminiscent of Dominican mangu with 3 golpes and pickled onions. Really good and affordable. Their tequeños which are breaded cheese sticks and choice of two sauces, one Cilantro based and the other mayo ketchup are delicious. Excellent juices that are not too sweet. Overall good in my book.“
“Listen RUN dont WALK to Tatiana's! Once you can get that reservation make sure you go! I went for my brother's birthday dinner and EVERYTHING from the ambiance to the drinks to the food was excellent. The staff was very nice also, and the management was top tier! I will definitely be back. We literally tried everything on the menu except 4 things! Oh and the dessert ....THE GOLDEN RUM CAKE AND THE BODEGA SPECIAL was EVERYTHING!!!! Will dine again VERY SOON!Dietary restrictions: The waiter or waitress asks if the table has any allergies!Parking: The later you go in the day the easier to find parking on the street. If you go earlier in the day go to a parking garage!“
“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.“
“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.“
“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!!“
“My nonprofit organization had a sports trivia night in their private room on their second floor. It was perfect. Equipment for the DJ already there. A projector with a screen to display the scoreboard. Service was excellent. Food was great. Atmosphere was incredible. Drinks were fantastic. Highly recommend holding events in their private room. I will have more events there.“
“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 is a rare find whose delectable Caribbean cuisine caters to the body and soul. All I had to do was to find their entrance door on Restaurant Row, which magically spirited me away to a tropical paradise. In fact, the artsy decor and upbeat music brought back fun childhood memories - albeit at a different tropical shore at a different time. They were memories of listening to Harry Belafonte's calypso records on my grandfather's turntable, as well as eagerly watching Sir Viv Richards take the crease on the telly, as he chewed gum in style and make his mark in the world of gentleman's cricket. Meanwhile, the staff seemed friendly and attentive and deserved extra credit for playing their part with their colorful floral shirts and outfits. Having dismissed the young waitress twice - for a duck, so to speak, and mainly due to my undecidedness - I finally settled on the Escovitch fish entree with a little apprehension. But boy, what a pleasant surprise! The well presented fried whole red snapper covered in various peppers, onions, and a spicy vinaigrette sauce, served with jasmine rice, was oozing with flavor and deliciousness ready to dazzle the tastebuds, which it did so well. The sweet plantains made for a nice side dish as well. Every morsel of food being chewed, if I may, was like a batsman driving the ball into the stands past silly point and above deep extra cover. After a wonderful meal, it was finally time to get back to the mundane city life. However, I'm not sure if life will be mundane anymore now that I know where to look for that escape door on Restaurant Row.“
“Lips Cafe is our go to spot in District 43! Great place for networking, working from home, and the drinks are second to none. We love Lips! Thank you for being such a key stakeholder our community and partner to Assembly Member Brian Cunningham“
“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“
“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“
“Went here for dinner midweek. Food was excellent. Great apps including empanadas. The beef one was exceptional. Also had a salmon crudo app which was on special. Many specials at this place. Fish is a specialty I went with halibut which came with an awesome leek based sauce. My friend had a steak and it came with an awesome sauce too. Desert was a banana bread pudding in a sugary sauce again. This place has sauce!! Service nice and friendly quite attentive. Place is big with a nice seating area downstairs as well as a private room highly recommended go check it out.“
“Bring cash to enjoy this amazing spot.Must try the currant roll. Currant rolls are available after 3PM.If you like coconut, you'll LOVE the coconut roll. It is flaky and came warm.If you like the texture of mochi, and you like almond extract, try the cassava pone.There if usually a line out the door so check before walking in.Line moves quickly and service is very kind.“
“Catered large Trays Mini Cassava balls Salt Fish Cakes with the sauces Tamarind and Mango . Delicious delicious delicious . All our guests could not stop talking about these appetizers. OMG JERK CHICKEN TO DIE FOR - Spicy and tender N JUICY leaves you wanting more. Again all our guests chattering about how delicious the jerk chicken was. MAC N CHEESE for the Vegetarians flavorful cheesy n delicious . My new go to for friends and family gatherings.“
“*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!!!“
“The food was phenomenally bonkers!, it had the home style cooking and flavor bursts you would want from a delicious brunch. The jerk chicken was flavor filled with all types of delicious spices, char grilled, and succulent with every bite. The team and wonderful service from “Demmoy” and a few others I was enjoying my food too much I forgot to get everyone’s name, provided such a welcoming experience and energy, fantastic vibes. I can’t say enough kind words about this place. I plan to return often for the jerk chicken and waffles. The waffle had crispy crust & savory tastes, the maple syrup was delivered heated, such a fantastic touch!. My partner had the eggs biscuits and grits, holy smokes that had a fantastic flavor as well, i ate half of her food (after she was done), ?Highly recommend. ??“
“I had tried going to this location before and was told I needed reservations. I went today, and they had a seat. They took me to the back, through the kitchen, down these metal stairs to an outdoor seating. The outdoor tent was nice. Service was quick. The fried pork with Plantain cups and lobster & crab Rangoon as appetizer and shrimp rasta pasta as entrée was delicious.“
“Great experience, the lady at the counter gave us samples of the pineapple ginger juice which was so good we ended up getting, she also recommended we get the beef patties w the coco bread and wow she was not playin no games. 10/10 hit every spot, will for sure be back.“
“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.“
“This place is spectacular, I have no complaints with the service at all you can eat, as on other occasions where I have had the experience of ordering à la carte, come to Bonfire to have a very good time, stop by here to celebrate a birthday and they congratulated my junior classmate with a piece of 3 leches which was very delicious.“
“I love their food! Tasty, clean and fresh. The portions are good too.Services is great and friendly. It’s small but quaint. It’s ran by a sweet family.. I definitely recommend them!Vegetarian options: They have rice n peas, cabbage plantains, delicious“
“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.“
“We came to LaMode to celebrate my brother’s 50th birthday. Shanice was our server and she did amazing considering she was taking care of a party of 30. Very friendly despite some of us being unreasonable. Would come back if she’s my server.“
“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.“
“JULIA is an amazing and informative staff member. From greeting my party of 4, seating us, making food/drink recommendations, and even allowing us to see the “basement”, we couldn’t have asked for better service. Codfish fritters, curry crab tostones, ackee n Salish tostones, crab n salmon balls, all great starters. We had curry goat, salmon, and oxtail. All portions were plentiful and full of flavor. MAKE SURE you try the house made pepper sauce if you like extra spice in your food. A lot of rum based drinks but more than enough options outside of rum. And it’s not a meal if you don’t finish it off with the bread pudding, shame on you! Good music, good energy, great ambiance in a chill spot in park slope. Go hungry and leave full!“
“Highly Recommended!! Especially for large parties! Went with a group of 20. We had the back room all to ourselves!! Which included our own bathroom and backyard space! It felt like a private party as we were able to get up and mingle with one another without bothering other diners. The food was excellent and the service was even better !!! Thank you for everything ISHMEL !!!“
“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.“

“Decided to go here to get a 10" black cake to celebrate a company party. The customer service was great, and the cake was delicious and finished earlier than i expected! It was moist and fresh with jolts of rum. Would order again from here in the future!“
“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“
“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.“
“All the foods are very delicious. They can brush up on the curry chicken and shrimp because I feel like the amount u get with the dinner should be a little more. Other than that everything else is top notch. Best place to get Caribbean food in Brooklyn!“
“First coming here date night with my boy friend and actually I am having dinner right now everything is so good ! I ordered the salt fish fritters oh my god !!!! Small black own business I really really enjoyed the vibe the food the drinks - drank one drink spicy mango margarita and I’m lit !!! Please come support them you won’t disappoint they takeThere time making food but it’s worth it !!“
“I haven’t had better soul food in all of NYC. It took me a while of living nearby before going in to try it out, because the front isn’t overly flashy. But the owner pulled me over to say hi one time, and the rest is history. You can tell that the staff is like family; not in the toxic way, but in a way where everyone who comes in leaves feeling like a neighbor. I love their rotation of local black/women art, not to mention their schedule for incredible live music. This restaurant has played a huge role in making me feel at home in Brooklyn over the last 5 years, and I know I’m one of many people who feel the same. You can’t go wrong on their menu, so if a great restaurant atmosphere isn’t for you, at least try the food. You won’t regret it.“
“My mouth is watering right now, thinking about the food I ate for the first time yesterday from this establishment. Fresh, tasty, spicy, yummy, delicious food. I can go on about how good this food was. I had the fish sandwich, my husband had the pork and chicken, and I also had the passion juice and soup. Everything tastes so good. I can't wait to go back. The staff was friendly, the place was clean, and the food was freshly prepared when ordered. 5star“
“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!“
“My opinion is 8.7/10. Is it the best Jamaican beef patty I've ever had? No but overall our place that makes handmade Jamaican beef patties with a good overall flavor I recommend it. Best thing definitely has to be the crust I just wish for $3 it was a little bit more meat / seasoning. Check out my in depth video reviews on any of the platforms below.

“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.“
“I stumbled across this restaurant when I attended a conference across the street at Medgar Evers College. The food was delicious. Very affordable too. Excellent service. Very friendly staff. A very relaxing environment. I will definitely visit again.“
“My go-to spot for a jerk chicken patty! Authentic flavor but it is not spicy. It costs around $3 but it is packed with flavor and meat so you get your money's worth. It is better to go earlier because they do sell out of some of the patties like the jerk chicken and veggie. I went around 11:50am on a Monday and there was no line. This place typically has a line so if you are looking for a good time to go, I suggest Monday during the early afternoon. I will definitely be back because I am always curious about the food. They have roti and other traditional Caribbean dishes like oxtails and stew chicken.Vegetarian options: Veggie Patties“
“Went for a birthday celebration. I ordered the stew peas(vegetarian), my co-diners ordered fish, oxtail and chicken and everyone was satisfied. Bill for 6 came up to 450$. Portions can be a bit on the small side if you're a big eater. Drinks from the bar were good. Overall 4 star solid place.“
“Tii hi is place is amazing …. Southern food delight ../. So lively and all the employees are happy and total LIVE upbeat vibe ….. I sat at the bar and sooo good. Dinner was fried chicken mashed potato’s Mac and cheese and I couldn’t finish it“
“Absolutely amazing place ! We meant to quickly a stop there for one cocktail but the atmosphere, the staff (K!) and the quality of the drinks were so amazing that we ended up expending hours and hours in there!! The drinks are FANTASTIC, and the the vibe going on with the regulars is just so warm and welcoming … absolutely loved this place ! We were very glad we cancelled all our plans to just enjoy being in this place … absolutely AMAZING!!“
“Chef Shorne is a genius with this, the fresh ingredients and the different flavors are worth coming to Brooklyn for! Oxtail grilled cheese, top knotch, mac n cheese amazing , lavender chicken is so moist it's a crime. Full experience is sitting at the counter when the chef is in the building!“
“Food is so good, and the people tending are so nice. Everything was made fresh for us on the spot, and it was delicious. I hate going to places and for the mofongo or tostones to feel like they have been sitting there premade, so annoying.We had a chicken chimi, a pernil mofongo, cheese empanadas, a morir soñando and another shake. The chimi was perfect, the meat was perfectly cooked and seasoned, the bread was nice and toasty, and the rest of the fillings were perfect. The mofongo was nice and moist, they also cover it with a nice bechamel sauce and the pernil was deliciously seasoned. Going back to try the reg chimi :)Pescado frito con tostones is very popular, two dif people came in and ordered it while we were sitting there. I'll have to try it too.“
“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“
“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).“

“I work right in front of tropical and I love coming here all the time! The staff are super friendly and helpful (shout out to Eulise) he makes sure to go above and beyond. Not only that but their smoothies and drinks are so good!! We definitely recommend coming here!!“
