“Phenomenal ! First time trying them (delivery) and this is easily in my TOP 5 food places in the WHOLE BAY AREA! I scooped two prefix 4 course meals (beef patties, oxtail, blueberry blue match lemonade, and dessert of the day - a blue pastry & currant pastry) plantains, Accra salt fish fritters and mango turmeric peach cobbler. I wanted to try a little bit of a lot. The smell was heavenly, the portions were generous and the first bite made my eyes roll back. I can't imagine what this must taste like in person. This was the PERFECT pre Valentine's Day surprise dinner! Small but amazing touches that put this over the top: The salad had tomatoes and cucumbers, not just random lettuce. And the dressing was on the side (so we can control how much) plus it was well balanced in flavor. The oxtail was separate from the rice in its juices so the rice didn't get mushy and the oxtail was flavorful and juicy. The desserts were the perfect amount of sweet. It didn't taste like just sugar, you could really experience the spices.“
“4 stars because although It was good,it wasn't quite the traditional jamaican i am use to. The service was above and beyond amazing. It is actually safe to park there. I ordered jerk chicken with steam veggies. Although I loved the veggies, they are not the traditional cabbage and carrots that I am use to. The jerk chicken was tender, and boy did they give me a lot of chicken but I paid for it too lol. The meal is quite pricey and I wanted more spice to the chicken lol (And yes I know jerk is not that spicy in Jamaica but I personally like the spicy jerk lol). Good juice. I will be back to taste other items.Parking: Parking lot behind the store can be full but street parking is not great. Again, it is safe to park there!“
“The service was exceptional even through the phone; my husband went in and FaceTimed me so I could see the menu. Tonight we decided to give it a shot and I am mostly pleased. We ordered the combination plate which consist of curry chicken, jerk chicken and oxtail(s); callilou; beef patty; and coco bread. I enjoyed my food but my complaint is the way the meat was cut. They took drum sticks and I believe the breast (because it had all of those back bones) and diced it so there were bone pieces throughout. This made it difficult to enjoy and was dangerous for our 1 year old...It also hurt my tooth. I do understand that the price of food is sky high so you gotta do what you gotta do so I tried not to be too harsh with the amount of stars.“
“Carmen's has some of the best BBQ in the Bay Area. They have their own take on BBQ, so it might not be to everyone's liking. The brisket is very tasty, but you get chopped up pieces rather than the long strips of beef more typically found. They're hot sauce is hotter than most, and is my favorite. The greens are fantastic. The service is always kind and helpful.“
