Restaurants in Jamaica

“We were visiting from Chicago and they were so friendly. The mithai was very fresh! The best I’ve had in the US in fact. We brought home some boxes of mixed mithai for our family and they loved it too.”

“There's a girl working here and she seems very annoyed. When we place our order, you can tell by her face that she's very annoyed, which is why we don't like the service.but food is very good...”

“Everyone has different taste but certain things does not necessarily go together such as a sour fruit and chocolate. Drinks are pretty great, certain drinks might give nostalgic feeling from childhood”

“Food is amazing…Comfort food at its finest!!”

“As a customer at Gyros & Wings Paradise, I have to say, it’s become my new favorite spot! The moment I walked in, the delicious smells hit me, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. I started with the gyro, and it was fantastic—perfectly seasoned meat with a generous portion of tzatziki sauce, wrapped in a warm, fluffy pita. The flavor was spot on, and I could tell everything was fresh.”

“The food was simply awesome, fresh and super tasty 😋 Enjoyed a lot there as their friendly attitude just made us feel we’re at home not in a restaurant. This was our 1st visit here, Inn shaa Allah will keep coming again and again.”

“The food here is amazing, fantastic even I would say the best. The Chicken Fried rice is really good and has tons of flavor with it without or without it's sauce.”

“I like the Tims coffee honey cruller donut 🍩
Better than any other place ❤️
It’s been 2 years that I am getting my coffee from here everyday morning. Friendly behavior.”

“Great hole in the wall place. been there many times.”

“Ordered the lamb dibi w/jollof rice and the chicken dibi w/jollof rice! Both were tender, flavorful, and delicious! Good portions and the customer service is excellent! Totally worth a visit/order! The fish fataya and plantains were perfect! Don't hesitate, give Jollof Cafe & Grill a try! You wont be disappointed!”

“The most authentic Jamaican restaurant in nyc..firstly i must compliment the staff for their friendly demeanor, and welcoming smiles A+. Secondly, the food omg ,well seasoned to the bone, finger licking good, the presentation of the food is absolutely attractive and price is unbeatable very cost efficient, with full portion, the restaurant front is clean A+.
It was an honor to support this gem and will be back. When in NYC make RyRy’s kitchen the #1 go to restaurant.. Chefs kiss.”

“Healthy foods and a relaxing atmosphere. Nice people too!”

“Excellent chole baturae and thali served with freshness and great flavor. Served food with smile and calling me bhai which created Indian home like feeling. I highly recommend anyone this place who would like to try the best Indian dishes with desi flavors. I will definitely return to this place to try all other dishes.”

“Lived in the area my whole life and I have to say that this store has excellent service food and they are chill and friendly

Vegetarian options: They have a lot of choices”

“Awesome portuguese food! Great service too”

“A casual pub-restaurant with great food and a bar. The steak on stone was excellent. Quick and attentive service. There aren't many places quite like this in the area. Definitely worth checking out if you're around.”

“The quality of the food has dropped a lot, it was previously one of my favorites but yesterday I ordered a fried prickly pear and they gave me burnt hard rice ??‍♀️??‍♀️ I will definitely not return!”

“After a night of drinking I get a hankering for cheat meals the next day. Luckily dumpling house delivered on the general tso chicken. Wish there was more broccoli tho but I’m other people prob prefer mostly chicken. And has anyone found a Chinese takeout where the general tso is actually spicy? The search continues ...”

“Jerk chicken fried rice was great. The pepper chicken was also great. Food was fresh and smelled amazing. Worth your money if you looking for some good West Indian fried rice/ food”

“Their garlic wings and crab sticks are always delicious! Anytime I've called or visited, I've received good customer service! I've only had their garlic wings, fries, and crab sticks.”

“1 of a few neighborhood oriental storefront restaurant/ delivery in Queens. I went because of flyer/ menu in hotel lobby severable, but walkable, blocks away.3 booths for those choosing to eat ”

“Tasty food and good service. Chicken with garlic sauce, beef with broccoli, shrimp lo mein, chicken wings are my go-to items here. Always fresh and the rice is good, they also give lots of sauce and hot oil, napkins, etc. The store has new management and chefs which is why it tastes so good compared to few years ago.”

“This place is amazing! The food is super tasty and good, and the owners are great people. Everything I've tried has been really yummy. Definitely my go to spot for Chinese food.”

“It was good I love that they gave me a lot of food . I bought 4 platters and they were a lot of food inside I couldn’t even finished it and it was only 10 dollars”

“My family has been going here from the earliest days! They even know our order without telling them. There food is delicious and enjoyable. They are professional and would recommend to anybody.”

“This was one of a few Chinese restaurants I have tried since moving to Queens and so far, it's one of the best I've had. Will most definitely be ordering from here ”

“I had a midday lunch of curry chicken, chana, dahl (in separate container,) and buss-up shot roti. The spicy flavors were all excellent. The pepper flavor in the dahl was an exciting surprise. Maubi was my beverage (perfect: not overly bitter nor overly sweet.) The service was really good from what one would expect from an over the counter food shop. I love the Guyanese accent of the woman who took my order. Oh, I had a mango smoothie to go, to top off a nice experience. There are more foods to try. I will be back!”

“Great food at reasonable prices!”

“Resturant is well maintained and clean. Serves delicious Halal, authentic, Bangladeshi food. Would recommend ordering the samosas, Kababs, and rasmalai. Staff here is corteous.”

“I just got back from a trip to NYC and my brother-in-law treated us to dinner from The Halal Guys in Midtown and I knew it would be good since it was the only food cart with a block-long line after midnight. In fact I liked it so much I wanted to see if I could get something similar nearby... and I found it! I got the chicken and lamb over rice combo and while it wasn't quite the same it was still very good. The only difference is it didn't come with the pita bread and the white sauce tasted a bit different, but not bad. It also has more veggies so more "crunch" but next time I'm going to ask to leave them off (I just don't like the crunch...). I'm very happy to have a local option at a good price and generous portions. Thank you Sam's.”

“I loved the place the food was amazing and also the server was very kind to give me more than enough napkins and utensils along my food.The amount of food given was filled to the top with no room to spare it was an amazing experience would recommend it 10/10.

Kid-friendliness: The workers are nice and well behaved and very funny.”

“Tried it today after contemplating for a while. The server answered any questions I had and has a very friendly and approachable demeanor.Coming from the Island background of Jamaica I tried the Curry chicken wrap. It was so good, it didn't need no sauce. The server recommended the Butter chicken, and I came back 2 hours later to try it and he remembered my order. The food is freshly made to order. Very impressed! This will be my new lunch/breakfast spot.”

“They care about the food they serve here. Fresh and delicious. Friendly service and mouthwatering wraps. Can’t wait to go back and try their various sandwich options! Strongly recommend.”

“Best place ever to buy your ices or ice cream, if you want to host a party and afraid of serving ice cream because is going to melt, no worries they will take care you, they help you with dry ice, and they will teach you how to handle it.
The employees, the best people, very friendly and caring for customers.”

“fries are bussin.”

“I frequent this superb place from time to time as I like the special air that is characterizes this restaurant. The personel is extraordianrillyremarkably friendly and experienced. The service is awfully quick. Not to mention, the food they prepare is good. I ate there many times and I was always satisfied. The payment is modest. I recommend this place to my friends and family.”

“Thanks for all that you Do! Outstanding ? customer service. The foods are always prepared with love; much continued success Inshallah. DR.SHAHID WARRIOR OF ALLAH BKNY ? ✨️ ❤️”

“Nice and clean deli beautiful and delicious 🥘 😋😋😋😋😋”

“1/5/24 7:07pm.The woman making those cheeseburgers deluxe must have magic hands. I haven't taste a deluxe cheeseburger like that since early 2000s in the hood. I tasted everything on that burger, the cheese, onions. Mayo, ketchup, etc. And it was well done and juicy. She's a keeper.”

“Best deli in the city, though I may be biased as going here for more than 20 years. With a little bit of everything able to buy for convenience and food on the grill being superb, there's nothing more ya need for Bella Rosa.”

“Empanadas were awesome but $6 tres leche was dry af and kind of hard in parts?? Didn't finish it. I think staff speaks English but I actually don't know. I spoke in the language they addressed me in”

“Love Love Love this store!!!! It is so clean, and organized. Literally what ever your craving is,or you don't want to deal with the supermarket vibes I'm sure your needs and want will be fulfilled. And the owner as well as the staff are what makes it my one and only neighborhood store.”

“Best ice cream good I love it nice place in the world”

“The Spanish chef did well with fast and good service, I ordered 3 burgers in 30 minutes once have one its not enough not greasy either, Thank you guys for your service.”

“If you love a classic old fashion lance will never disappoint. As a bartender we always seek the perfect classic cocktail. Lance will give you the closest to perfect cocktail.”

“Great sushi! Recommend eating inside and enjoying it while it’s fresh. Definitely worth the visit if you’re in the area. Lovely family owned spot who are incredibly friendly.”

“hands down the greatest pizza place ever!! awesome customer service great food super patient i always try and tip super well when i have good cash. they are great and they even did a delivery for me when they were closing they are amazing people and this place deserves more recognition!”

“Come in, sit down and enjoy some Mexican food.”

“I recently bought 1 slice of pizza with extra cheese & it was VERY GOOD!!! Gabby’s is SOGGY & Farmers is RUDE, so this is my NEW spot for pizza!”

“Ok. My first time getting food from here. Let me say I'm am now a groupe the catfish mac n cheese and collard greens are on point!!!! The staff was so friendly. I haven't been to a restaurant with friendly staff in a while. Keep.doing what your doing. Love it”

“The best they have are their Picadas and cocktails, you have to visit them.”

“Catered this weekend - Italian Chicken Cutlet Supreme was awesome. Fresh and delicious. Stuffed cherry peppers were a hit. Salads were amazing but Mediterranean salad was my favorite. Pecan ring with whipped cream was gone in minutes. Thank you Mark (and Milton) for a delicious afternoon remembering my dad with family.”

“Needs to be updated, need to use real cheese. Especially being the most expensive hole in the wall diner. I don't mind spending $25 for a breakfast plate. Just give me real cheese and thank you for still offering rye bread. Owner remembers everyone by face . Good people”

“Súper higiénico, rica comida y saludable buen ambiente social, amables”

“El Comal is my 8 year old girl's favorite place, she loves pupusas. Here they make the best mixed pupusas in all of Hillside. The seafood soup is also very good and the Central American breakfast is the best!”

“Sanaa is the best. She knows my order before I say it, makes my smoothie perfect and never forgets my discount. She also trained new employees to accommodate me in the same manner. She is management material to me with the best customer service I've seen so far. One kid asked me why I be coming so late near closing. I found that to be distasteful. There's a slim dark-skinned guy that works there also who usually knows my order as well.”

“my favorite deli ever, love how the burgers are halal and prices are so reasonable, i’ve been coming to this deli for almost 7 years now and i have never been disappointed and always leave w a smile ?”

“Hands down, the best bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich in Queens! This local deli is a hidden gem that delivers quality every time.

The service is fast, the staff is friendly, and you can tell they take pride in their craft. I’ve been to a lot of delis in the city, but this one keeps me coming back. Highly recommend!

Kid-friendliness: Tons of snack options for kids

Wheelchair accessibility: There is a ramp access in the front.”

“The pizza is awesome and the chicken is my drug of choice!!! Their food isn't salty at all. I love getting food from here. The atmosphere is okay. It gets crowded with lots of kids after school and in the summer but thank God, I've never witnessed any fights”

“The best Haitian patties in NY hands down. They even let you use EBT if this message is for anyone. Their cakes are soooooo delicious . Their patties actually have meat inside! The Herring bread they make is literally sent from the gods. I've enjoyed their patties for over 9 years it's a hidden treasure if you know you know.”

“Loved their Naga fuchka!
With a bite you can get the best smell of Naga that won my heart ! Till now best fuchka!!
May be I’m only going to eat their fuchka when I’m gonna crave it ! ❤️”

“Excellent experience. The service was great. My order was taken, and the young man fixed my sandwich very nice. Just the way I wanted it. I recommend this Subway.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Was coming in and had to stop and wonder if they were closed cause the lobby was so clean it looked like it ain’t been touched in hours
the cashier greeted my very kindly unfortunately the ice cream machine was broken but ended up being recommend the milkshake which honestly might’ve been better the cone i wanted ? great experience”

“Walk in and get the authentic feel of a home cooked Jamaican meal. Wish I ordered a variety of different dishes because my kids mouth was on fire but he loved it. Pair your j*** chicken dish with the sorrel drink - tastes like a tropical ginger beer. Cabbage was cooked soft and not soggy. Get your j*** chicken fix at the country life. Worth a visit.”

“Best chicken”

“Been going to this place since I was a little girl. I live a little bit out of their delivery range and I just need them to get on Uber eats or something please. Their food is so good I’ve never been let down.”

“We stumbled in after a long flight from Germany, where the Mexican food situation is charitably described as underwhelming. The woman behind the counter greeted me pleasantly. A couple with suitcases and half-empty plates canoodled at a four top. La Isla contestants mirrored on two large TVs attempted to complete an obstacle course.

"Hello," I said, "we are very hungry and in desperate need of tacos. We eat everything... except tripe. No intestines, please. Tongue, beef, pork, chicken, fish - whatever. I have been awake for 28 hours, and I have no capacity left to make a decision. You are the expert. Can you please bring us whatever is the most delicious? I trust your judgement."

The woman looked at me, a little puzzled. "How many plates?"

"Enough for two adults and a kid with a hollow leg. And... do you have Jarritos? Tamarind, maybe?"

"It's in the cooler there. You just want me to make you some plates?"

"Yes, please. I think you'll make better decisions than I will. You know what's awesome."

We grabbed the Jarritos (Tamarind, Mandarin, Pineapple) and sat down. We watched La Isla while waiting. Mouthwatering scents began to waft toward us. After a short while, the angel behind the counter approached bearing plates laden with everything that I didn't know was missing from my life.

Succulent and tender lengua, pliant steak, perfectly plump shrimp, and al pastor redolent of cumin, achiote, sizzling fat and just the right amount of char piled atop rice and wonderfully squidgy refried beans. Nopales!! Fresh green cilantro, tart lime, crisp white onion and tight rolls of steaming hot tortillas, all ready for me to shove into the mouth part of my face.

WE DEVOURED IT as locusts upon an untouched field, or perhaps just hungry travelers in search of a delicious meal. It was everything I had hoped it would be, and healed a part of my soul that I didn't realize was broken. I was grateful for every decision in my life that had led me to that moment, eating a perfect taco and swilling tamarind Jarritos with my family.”

“Underrated restaurant in the market. Inexpensive food at a great price, and friendly staff who are always happy to serve you. People should eat here more often, they are amazing.”

“I recently visited Popeyes and was impressed by the service. The staff was friendly and efficient, ensuring my order was accurate and delivered quickly. The restaurant was clean and well-maintained, creating a pleasant dining environment. Overall, it was a great experience, and I would definitely return for both the delicious food and the excellent service.”

“The reason why I'm giving a rating of 🌟🌟🌟 for both "food" and the "atmosphere" is cuz for the former the one time that I've eaten here my order was kinda cold instead of hot and for the latter cuz beggars/vagrants bound to be frequent in here a lot.”

“It's window service. All meals are to go there's no seating area. But that food is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. The Jerk chicken sandwich is fully loaded. Will definitely return there for food..

Kid-friendliness: Unknown

Wheelchair accessibility: None..”

“I must admit that I use their chicken tenders when making a chicken salad...it's an amazing taste! It has LAYERS of taste and seasonings.”

“Love all their freshly made breads! Great customer service as well. Visit them at any of their locations, you won't be disappointed!”

“I have been going to the local carvel here for years. The guy who works here always is helpful and tells me he can best assist if we tell him what we need in advance. Every time I forget but he is still able to pull off exactly what I needed every time. I appreciate people like him who consistently go the extra mile.”

“They have been here for ages! The food is absolutely delicious. The price is absolutely worth it considering they do not skimp on the meat and give you no fatty parts. The service is always excellent. It’s always the same man there everyday 7 days a week and he is always in a great mood and super sweet. Its cash only. Call your order in!”

“Very welcoming environment with warm staffs and it feels like home! Affordable newly batched cooked food served in huge portion! Thank you for accommodating and entertaining us in our 3 days of stays in town! We are definitely coming back! :-)”

“Love Love Love it , pop in for take out or stay a while. Real old school old-old feeling but clean and busy.... Order their sausage platter with cheese grits , eggs and rye toast. You're welcome”

“food is good but I think it could be a little bit better. It’s honestly really really really good but it’s a little difficult with delivery. They get my order wrong sometimes and sometimes when they send it, the tacos are sticking to the bottom and they’re a little bit soggy and cold when they get here but that’s licleh DoorDash’s fault. Also very upset that they discontinued the blue raspberry freeze. That was the greatest item of all time I’m a bit disappointed.”

“I'll say this if you're of Latin descent Or Hispanic this place will definitely suit you, it'll be way more accommodating for that culture while at the same time it doesn't feel like it's alienating other cultures black white or other all in all I like the place”

“The Curry Goat is the best, to me the best in Queens.!!”

“Good Salvadoran flavor, their typical dishes really taste like our land. The pupusas here are delicious and well done!
I think that the atmosphere and appearance of the place needs to be improved as it seems a little run down in appearance. The place could use a makeover to elevate its category, but I must emphasize that the food is definitely very good.”

“As a family, we’ve had chicken and beef Philly Cheese Steaks since we were teens. I don’t know how they’ve kept it consistent for over 20 years. We are life time customers and always visit whenever we go to NYC. Canada has nothing that matches this place.”

“I went across this restaurant sometime last week and NYC has been lacking as of late when it comes to Jamaican food. However, when I came here the flavor and the food hit the spot! It tasted like how great Jamaican restaurants would taste over a decade ago. The staff puts real care into their food. Since I’ve been here I’ve ate here 3 times. The great thing about this place also is that they’re consistent! The other Jamaican restaurants on the the Guy R strip are closed or just taste processed. Nyaminz and Jaminz tastes original and the main person here with the red hair is great and understands customer service. I would highly recommend this place anytime.”

“Been eating here since i was little the food has always been amazing . The guys who run the store are real cool too. Way better than any other deli nearby 10/10 would ”

“Love this place!!!! Every Thursday after work I pay a visit and appreciate the chef and the attention from the cashier.. I recommend the birria tacos with everything and a drink of ”

“Very good food, they serve you a good quantity and the best thing is, it is economical. The people who serve you are very simple, they make you feel at home. I would return every day.”

“It's small and tight, but they make good hero sandwiches. Didn't have corned beef when I asked, but what they had was good. And the prices are reasonable too. I'll be back again.”

“Great chinese takeout spot! Try their sesame chicken - you won’t regret it.Their lunch specials are really tasty, filling, and affordable ($8.50 in April 2023). I recommend getting the fried rice and egg drop soup.I also think it’s cash only. Fast service too.”

“The 4.8 stars on this place it’s real and it’s true. The food is delicious it’s just perfect, I tried their $8 combination rice comes with a soda and it was just amazing. If you like pita bread ask him to add some and he will do at no extra cost. This place is perfect if your like me who was waiting on family arriving at the airport. Go here!”

“I recently bought 1 slice of pizza with extra cheese & it was VERY GOOD!!! Gabby’s is SOGGY & Farmers is RUDE, so this is my NEW spot for pizza!”

“I work nearby & I love this place. Their food is the best, prices are decent. The owner is so wonderful. I dream of their guacamole, it’s that good. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️”

“The service here is excellent. Our server was attentive without being intrusive. The entire staff worked seamlessly together to create a seamless dining experience. We never had to ask anything twice!””

“The food tasteless is one and the charge more when you go pick up also.guys is rude.she can speak proper English.”

“The food here is amazing, fantastic even I would say the best. The Chicken Fried rice is really good and has tons of flavor with it without or without it's sauce.”

“Had the best agua fresca here I don’t know why people are leaving bad reviews good restaurant and great people.”

“The Curry Goat is the best, to me the best in Queens.!!”

“Love”

“I must admit that I use their chicken tenders when making a chicken salad...it's an amazing taste! It has LAYERS of taste and seasonings.”

“There's a girl working here and she seems very annoyed. When we place our order, you can tell by her face that she's very annoyed, which is why we don't like the service.but food is very good...”

“It's shockingly expensive.
Even at New York prices, an omelet, potatoes (too different from the photo), and beer for two people costs $75 (10,000 yen)! !”

“I give it a five because the food is good, then there's the rest of the issues at this place. For the amount of people this place serves and it's location this place is way tooo under staffed and small. They need to hire security for the amount of illicit activities occurring here young kids fighting, drug sales and everything you get when you have an large open space in the ghetto and no control. The food is usually good and the location is usually clean.”

“As a customer at Gyros & Wings Paradise, I have to say, it’s become my new favorite spot! The moment I walked in, the delicious smells hit me, and I couldn’t wait to dig in. I started with the gyro, and it was fantastic—perfectly seasoned meat with a generous portion of tzatziki sauce, wrapped in a warm, fluffy pita. The flavor was spot on, and I could tell everything was fresh.”

“I had a good experience the several times I've visited this location. The employees were very curitous and the store relatively clean -- presently, there is ongoing building construction.”

“very good my son love eat them fast food”

“The service was excellent! the food was sub par and the clientele was a human zombie experience. It would be quite the shock for the uninitiated but for a New Yorker it was just another day at Micky D's.”

“Finally Al Aqsa open their Chinese Restaurant . Their Bangladeshi style Chinese is awesome . The food is fresh and delicious! Customer service is excellent . I would say that this is the best place to enjoy Bangladeshi Chinese in Bronx.”

“I've noticed from this Mcd’s on Sutphin Blvd. that the day crew seems to care more than the night crew. Night crew I can find no napkins, straws even the center bun of my big mac oh and three times I've had burnt filet o fish. You order during the day and I have no complaints. Big macs are perfect, fries golden brown and fish is also perfectly cooked. So to the day crew thanks for the quality of service and the night crew you need to be dismissed.”

“Freshly Done over. Workers are nice and friendly. Friendy atmosphere”

“Food is Wendy's great! Service is improving!
