25 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Glad I came. The oxtail patty was devine. Crust was flaky. I also got the cocobread fish cutter. Scrumptious. With the pineapple habanero sauce. For everything I ate, every element played its part for flavorful experience. And I ordered to go!!! My first meal back from vacation. Please come to Inglewood!!!“

“Today I discovered the curry shrimp. It was awesome! It might be my new favorite! My husband enjoyed the Curry Goat. We also got some patties for later. We had enough on our plates to have leftovers! That means we will get to enjoy our food again.“

“You see the pictures bro put up with the empty plate. Yep that pretty much sums up the food right there. I had pictures, but then I started crying cause they looked so good and dropped my phone and accidentally deleted them off my phone. But yea, definitely recommend the Belizian tamale, yes it has the full bone iykyk 🍗“

“Yo!, I never took L.A. for the Jamaican food scene. Being a Floridian and visiting the Caribbean, I didn't expect to find an awesome Jamaican food spot during my visit to L.A. After dining at Wah Gwaan, I had to tell management that they would be a spot to contend with back in Florida for Jamaican food. The jerk chicken was awesome and the wife had the oxtails and they were so tender. I recommend this spot to locals, tourists, or anyone that is in the area. When I'm back on the west coast, I'm looking Wah Gwaan Jamaican Kitchen & Bar up again for a delicious meal that reminds me of being back in the tropical south.“

“It was a really good experience 👍👍. Good Cuban 🇨🇺 food“

“Came into town to visit and stopped in at this hidden gem. The good and service was good and quick. My crew had the liver, oxtails and split peas, stew chicken and breakfast with fry jacks. The fry jacks were my FAVORITE. They were big and fluffy. All plates came with large portion size. I couldn’t even finish all of my food. We ended by trying the rice pudding which was delicious. This will definitely be my go to for Belizean food whenever I am in town“

“Food and service are always great. You’re seated quickly, food comes out hot and fast and it’s a cozy & comfortable dinner like vibe. Ample seating and very good energy via waiters and hostesses. Food doesn’t disappoint especially for the price point. The only downside is when bar backs are sorting clean silverware they’re very heavy handed so I recommend sitting as far away from the kitchen as possible as it’s a bit abrasive on the ears. If you’re sensitive to sharp pinging and metal on metal clanking sounds you’ll thank me. Love the place and have been a satisfied patron for over 20 years. Thank you Versailles!“

“Great customer service First time I tried it suggested by my brother from LA!“

“Ever bring on the menu was awesome!! This isn’t just a restaurant they are also connected to a Jamaican store as well that has all of our Jamaican favorites!! This by far is the best we have had!“

“Best Jerk Chicken in the world!!!“

“Excellent Tamales. We ordered 9 dz, including the Snow Crab and Nica special orders. Everyone was enthused with the flavors. The beans, rice and 2 salsas complimented well. All of my previous take out orders were equally delicious. Many of our guests are tamale fans. TAMARA WAS OUTSTANDING...“

“Peppers the food is top tier, oxtails yummy, jerk is nice and spicy, and the curry is my favorite. But they are always out of food. Always I suggest making a call before pulling up to this spot.“

“I try to stop here every time i’m close by. Reliable and hot every time.

Spicy beef or jerk chicken patties, ginger beer or sorrel ginger is my usual order.

I am leaving a review tonight because the hours are incorrect and i was really looking forward to eating here tonight during DTLA Art Walk. 😅 not sure what the normal hours are… but don’t come too late if you want some patties.“

“The Jamaican it's a beautiful life was peaceful, Quiet and serene. I ordered the oxtail plate with rice, beans,plantain and cabbage with a side order of white rice and side order of macaroni and cheese. The food was tasty and enjoyable, I was able to finish all. I walked the long way home near by. To relax my Full Stomach. Blessings to the Chef and waitress staff. Thank you, Lee Boykins November 19, 2025“
