Food was great but dry . My friend and I had got the jerk salmon .. also my friend and I said HI when we walked in the the guy at the front was just on his phone looking at us like we crazy so we said Hi again cause we thought we were bugging out and he turned his back to us - I’m not sure who the other guy with braids or dreads was but he came out and was looking at me real crazy . I didn’t wanna eat my food . I was annoyed and couldn’t wait to just leave . .. the music was way too damn loud for two damn people . Also , I prefer Gospel over someone shouting and singing about Sex or at least something like old school rnb or something would’ve made me feel more comfortable. ? the waiter was a female . Forgot her name but she was very kind and on top of things !

I'm not even sure what to say here. The food is good but $20.00 for a small aluminum dish and a side of Mac and cheese....let's say 1/2 side for almost $10.00 hell no!!!! It's not even filled. Very very disappointed. We will not be ordering from here again. The portions don't support that price point at all. Nope never again

Came here on a rainy Saturday night around 5:30pm, there was a happy hour until 7pm, which I love, most places don't have weekend happy hours. I got the rum punch ($8) it didn't taste like a rum punch but it was still strong & sweet. I had the curry chicken, rice & peas & steamed veggies, I enjoyed it but wish it had more spice. The Playlist was playing old skool reggae, hip hop & r&b. The bartender Keyosha was attentive & friendly. They have hookah after 7pm for ($35) , I shall return to try the hookah & red snapper. There's a lounge side & a take out side. This place is also very clean & easy to get to, driving wise & MTA.

Spacious area with good food. I had the oxtail meal which is $20+. It was flavorful but definitely need two meals if you are thinking of sharing.

I didn't go to the store in person . Ordered Uber Ears and my food came on time and piping hot . There's really not too many great places in Queens that makes Rasta Pasta really good ( I'm a Brooklyn girl ...and we know who makes the best ..) but the Oxtail Rasta pasta was excellent ! It is ridiculously expensive though and I think there could have been more oxtails in the plate . Oxtail is on the bone . The sauce is creamy - not too creamy but has a great flavor and texture . This dish was a whopping $32 . Perhaps the fees associated with take out ? Who knows . I also ordered the BBQ wings which were really good. I tried the Mac and cheese reading the reviews and honestly it was not good . I make my own and very few places rival mine . It was dry and has no flavor . Personally it was more macaroni pie than Mac and cheese . I hope to go in person since the restaurant isn't too far from me so I have nothing to add about ambience and decor . I'd order again .

Nice Jamaican restaurant in Queens on 164th street. Staff was helpful and polite. Granted I came when they were closing the kitchen, food was banging a little bit of a wait but food was on point. I got the ox tail and rice. The Ox tail was soft and flavorful. I'd definitely give them another visit.

I went for happy hour the bartender was super cool & dope. We kicked it with the owner & he was also very welcoming. We only had tacos we weren't that hungry. We chose oxtail & shrimp tacos. They were both good but the oxtail tacos were bomb. They were really good. I will be coming back for an oxtail rasta pasta meal. The drinks were good too. So I will definitely be going back.

The name of this spot is fitting ... a dream, indeed! One of the owners & staff were super sweet, welcoming, and accommodating. The gravy of the oxtail was beyond flavorful and tender. And the drinks were delicious. The pool table and board games are also a wonderful touch. This is definitely my & the homies' new spotWheelchair accessibility: There's a stair loft for folks whole need support getting up stairs
