Did somebody say Caribean food? Yes, mamsir. First time here (04/25/2024) I don't usually post, but when I do, best believe it's the ish. Service is friendly with a smile. Always a plus these days. Ambiance is clean and spacious with hand sanitizer sprays on each table. Food...oh, so good. I got the jerk bean soup (believe stew), plantains, and spinach empanada something something (from display case) because why not. I was stuffed. Sorry, no pics, but this is the spot for you if you're a local, just visiting, or want to try something new. Taste and see. It's definitely a comeback spot, for sure.

The food just spoke to my soul. I had the vegan crab cake bowl. It was flavorful, heartwarming and made with love. I will definitely be back again! 10/10

Believe stew, crab cakes, and plantains is a must try. I also liked the chicken quesadilla.

Okay, I've been to this particular location numerous times and the food tastes good that's not the problem, The problem that I have is paying almost $20 for a very small plate of food compared to the LA location. I gave this location the benefit of the doubt based on me visiting the LA location, and it seems like this particular location is very skimpy with the portion sizes compared to the other location. I was at this location yesterday and ordered some chicken with the buttered garlic noodles, and could not believe the size that I got. To me it look like a sampler plate. I am done with this location.

Love, love, love Grilled Fraiche! It's close to my workplace, so I pop by pretty often and they never disappoint. The Believe Stew remains my favorite, but the garlic noodles with chicken (and plantains on the side) is a close #2. I am always greeted with a welcoming hello and a warm smile - much appreciated!

This place is VERY close to a 5 stars for me, so I had a really hard time rating this place. When you walk in, the menu is there for you to view and then you are greeted by a very friendly worker. All the workers there are great and look happy to help you. I ended up going with a bowl with jerk chicken and house sauce, a burrito with jerk chicken and jerk sauce, and the Believe Stew. First off, the bowl with jerk chicken was really good! It comes with beans and rice and the chicken is well seasoned. The house sauce is a bit sweet and spicy and very much well balanced. The burrito with jerk chicken was good because it came with the believe stew beans, which i absolutely love. They also gave us small samples while we waited which i thought was a nice touch. The jerk sauce is pretty spicy, so be warned if you dont do well. The side of Believe Stew is just a bowl of black beans with coconut milk and a delicious combination of spices. I dont know whats in it, but its the best black beans ive ever had. Everything here is great food wise, the only reason for 4 stars is because its a bit pricey. A burrito/bowl for $15 is a little steep and a side of small Believe Stew was $8. If they gave slightly more food, I would definitely say its 5 stars, but I had to factor in value when rating, so I went with 4 stars. If you're reading this, I would highly recommend you visit and try their food. You'll get delicious food and friendly service which really makes for a great experience.
Hands-down, some of the best food I've had in Long Beach! And Sabrina is so sweet and lovely.

A lovely place with delicious food. The service was friendly and the food was amazing. We ordered a large serving of their Believe Stew to go, it was that good (and it comes on most of the dishes on this menu).Generally Caribbean, they have a wide variety of salads, bowls, and tacos. Definitely worth trying their menu here.This faces a parking lot that is extremely busy. Looking for parking at some times of day might be difficult.

First time based on reviews and it “DELIVERED”. The “Believe” stew should be called “BELIEVER” because once you taste, you’ll become one. Their featured item is their “Ox Tail” bowl. It was incredible (great flavor and “falling of the bone” tender). Staff were super friendly and it was getting crowded so come early. Can’t wait to try the pockets.
