Looking for some authentic Jamaican staples AND some fusion options? This is the place. Delicious food. Get the conch fritters. Friendly & efficient service. Lovely linen table cloths & napkins bring an extra level of class, but still a warm & relaxed atmosphere. Bring your crew here.

I was visiting Scottsdale for work and had a serious craving for some food, specifically Jamaican food. Saw the reviews on this place and decided to go. Unfortunately, Caribbean Palm was not the place to satisfy that craving.

The best thing I had was the beef patty. It was flaky, flavorful, and well-seasoned. That was the highlight. But everything went downhill from there.

I ordered the Rasta Pasta with oxtails, and it was the worst I’ve had. When you grow up eating good oxtails, you already have a high standard, and this completely missed the mark. The oxtails lacked the deep, rich flavor they should have, and the dish overall just didn’t deliver. I barely ate anything off my plate because it was that bad. Frankly, I felt sorry for the cow… poor thing died for nothing.

I let the waitstaff know (politely) that I didn’t enjoy the meal and could clearly see the frustration in their response. I still paid for the food, but this experience has unfortunately ruined my perception of food in Arizona, especially when compared to what I can get back home in Texas.

If you’re just looking for a beef patty, you might be fine. But if you’re expecting authentic, well-executed Jamaican flavors, I’d say look elsewhere.

This is by far one of the best hidden gems of Arizona. Upon walking in you are immediately transformed to a family restaurant in Jamaica. When we entered we were greeted by the nicest lady only to later find out she was the waitress, bartender, and she was placing and fulfilling to go orders (and they were busy!) but she didn't miss a beat. She even spared a minute to make sure my toddler grandchildren were satisfied with their selection which they were! When the food arrived it was phenomenal! By far the best Jamaican food I've ever eaten! I wanted to let the chef know how much I enjoyed the food after a small wait he came to my table and we had a great talk about where his recipes generated and where he learned the craft. If you're in the Scottsdale area make this spot a priority

Parking: Strip mall parking but plenty of it

Kid-friendliness: The portions are huge!

Horrible customer service. Rude AF. Delivery driver blocked the back (ONE WAY) exit and when I called the restaurant, I was told “F%*% you! What do you want him to do? And why the F$&% you calling my phone” then I got hung up on. Well, I would LIKE for your huge box truck to park in a spot so people at other establishments in the plaza can come and go as they need to.

Visited this place on a Saturday. Plenty of seating, friendly employees and great food. The meat patty was so flaky good, also loved the Rasta pasta. Enjoyed the atmosphere and started to get busy when we were leaving. Great hidden gem.

This place is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic Jamaican cuisine! From the moment we walked in, the vibrant atmosphere and friendly staff made us feel welcome.
We started with the pasta which was flavorful. The portions were generous, and every bite was bursting with flavor.

Overall, we had a fantastic experience. The food was incredible, the service was excellent, and the atmosphere was lively and inviting. We'll definitely be back for more!

Food was not representative of Jamaica.

Went to Montego Bay a couple of years ago and this is identical jerk chicken, it honestly might even be better than what I had. Extremely good. Rice and jerk sauce is on point as well as the chicken and been patties they makes

Yum. I got the Shrimp Ragout through Ubereats! Order was ready quickly but I scheduled it since it was the weekend. I also got the Papaya and Mango Relish, love that I’m trying new things. I had leftovers and they still tasted good the next day.

11/7/24 6:20pm We had eaten here a couple of years ago while traveling to Scottsdale. We were hesitant this visit due to some of the reviews since we were last here. My husband and I were glad we decided to come. He had the jerk pasta, and I had the cajun fettuccine. Both were great. Entrees came out within 15-20 minutes (we had ordered an appetizer, so that was even faster), and service was great as well. Give them a try for yourself!
